Getting Started

In December 2003, my daughter's Keepers of the Faith group learned to make Cookies-in-a-jar as gifts. We as a family thought this was such a good and economical idea that we made 30 of them for Christmas gifts that year - using five different recipes.

This year, we made about twenty jars - of just a Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. Since we had such fun with this, I started paying closer attention to the idea of mix-making.

Recently, Lori sent out a Taco/Chili Seasoning recipe through her Keeping the Home yahoo group. And then I found a recipe on how to make mixes similar to those produced under the Hamburger Helper brand. So now, Greg has asked me to pursue all of these and see how it works out.

Welcome to the Journey!
