I haven't seen a burrito spice packet in a grocery store for months. There is nothing wrong with tacos but they are different than burritos. And fajitas, I haven't seen that either.
I recently discovered it is less expensive to buy a jar of alfredo sauce and a box of noodles than to buy a boxed noodle-and-sauce side dish. It could be even less expensive to make alfredo sauce or noodles... I'm not that far down this path yet. Maybe someone else is.
I prefer foods to not have high fructose corn syrup. Or any corn syrup, for that matter. Or msg. It is hard to find salad dressings without these things. At least some dressings are very easy to make.
Apple crisp is so ridiculously easy to make that I have difficulty understanding why anyone would buy a box kit package thing unless they really didn't know how easy it is.
I'm also revamping my recipe system. I want no more boxes of recipe books, with each book having a couple of recipes I actually use. Instead, I want just my two most used recipe books and a 3-ring binder with my go-to recipes. And, maybe, one small box for solid reference books (like the Blue Ball canning book) and one 3-ring binder for recipes I might want to try.
So. This thread....
For these kinds of recipes or lists of what you would put in a go-to binder (not necessarily the recipes themselves of those on the lists - wow is this a sentence to make a grammar guru cringe, sorry).
