Hearing your happy voice and positive attitude cheers me up so, Mary! I have been looking for pre-fab cake mixes without shortening, so I was so glad to see your recipes and I look forward to trying them this holiday season. Thank you for all the heart you put into your recipes and videos and God Bless!

I made the chocolate cake and it was the best cake we ever had. I will never get boxed mix again. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much Mary! I love all the tips you gave as well, can't wait to try these!

I really appreciate your videos. I like having a source for mixes I can store that are healthy and save time in the long run. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and recipes!

You had me at “healthy”!! I so need to do this to add to my pantry🤗. The whole grain flour makes it all even better. Thank you friend for making my life a little easier!! God bless you sweet friend❤️

I use my food processor & turn all my sugar that I bake with into Castor sugar which isn't sold in the U.S but is all throughout Europe. It's a very finely grounded sugar just before it starts to turn into powered sugar. It works fantastic when making delicate cakes that don't have leaveners added like a Genoise cake, macarons & pavlova etc. It should work great in this as well! Lovin your videos

Mary, you give me so much hope! Thank you for GIVING these thorough receipes in simple sweet order. I am trying! God Bless you.

Thank you for making it easy for us to return back to our traditional healthy way of eating. I stumbled on your channel 2days ago and I can't stop watching. I have learnt alot of things I never knew I could make myself in My kitchen. Your channel is really loaded. God bless you real good. From Nigeria 🇳🇬

Hi Mary, I am so glad I have found your site. Your voice is very claiming which fir someone who has anxiety helps alot. I love the way you explain things so that a NEWBIE like myself can really follow and understand. I had a heart attack 2yrs ago this coming march and the Drs say I need to make ALL my food from scratch. NO box stuff and no eating out. Alot of money later my kitchen is so over packed with all the stuff I could possibly need, not only heart healthy it is also a diabetic kitchen. I have to cook for my hubby, 2 VERY picky kids and a dad that if I didn't move back home to help would be eating hotdogs everyday NASTY!!! For almost 2years I have just been doing the old fashion way of cooking, now I want to jar stuff so I can just do things a bit easier and I can tell you will make that transition very easy for me. THANK YOU for sharing your recipes and kind voice. I have not eaten desserts in a very long time, but I am going upstairs after the TELL ALL (LOL) to make the jars and bake me some Chocolate cake With the espresso. I am so excited to do this. THANK YOU AGAIN!

Love your channel, I have saved all of your recipes & the 2 book forms to my kindle. Thank you so very much.

Thank you for your recipe, I put everything in my food processor and pulse before storing, I used vacuum seal bags to store.

I made the chocolate cake with sprouted flour and it was very rich and dense. It was satisfying so I didn't choose to frost it. Our teens were thrown by the difference in texture though, so I'll try it with 1/2 AP next time. But it's great to have all 3 of them the cupboard ready for anything, and the spice mix smells so gently delicious (not so 'in your face' pungent). Thank you for the recipes!

Thank you for making mixes with whole grain flour. ❤

I just want to say... Not sure how shelf stable freshly ground flour would be, but it is much nicer in flavor than storebought whole wheat... no bitterness at all and even bakes fluffier/spongier. I really had a hard time working with storebought whole wheat, getting it to rise well and having it not taste as great as white flour. We couldn't believe how great the flavor of freshly ground flour was when started milling at home!

I just subscribed today and have to tell you how very much I have enjoyed visiting you today.

I can’t wait to try these delicious recipe mixes and add to our kitchen 👏. I was wondering do you have a recipe for butter pecan cake mix ( I love the Betty Crocker version) and for white cake mix? Also would these recipes be used the same as boxed cake mix when making cake mix cookies? Thank you for sharing 👍👍 You are such an inspiration ❤️ Merry Christmas 🎄. Stay safe healthy and happy ❤️

I love your videos

I've spent a good deal of time in the England and they have something they call "caster sugar" which is available in their grocery markets. It's made as you described, only commercially. I thought to make it myself, once or twice, but I was warned that the sugar would scratch the plastic blender container and make it appear cloudy (actually, you'd be sand-blasting the inside of your blender container). Be careful, please if you plan to make your own :)

Hello Mary thank you from Connecticut. I made your beef broth! AMAZING, Beef stew was best I’ve ever had and made. Started my extracts for holiday gift baskets for Christmas 2021 but I have a question for you. My niece has Celiac Disease and was thinking of making her some of the prep cake and cookie mixes but would a rice or Almond Flour work too? Also I made the truffles in an adult for with some Baileys. Wonderful. Your feedback for the flour would be helpful

I agree with you about nutmeg, I don’t care for it either. If I am making a recipe that calls for nutmeg I add cinnamon. It’s also my favorite.

That's a fascinating trick when you grind down the sugar for these mixes. It probably will improve the overall taste and texture of the cake. My favorite pound cake recipes (from America's Test Kitchen) does something similar. You begin by adding the eggs, SUGAR, and vanilla to the food processor and pulverizing it. You then slowly pour 2 sticks of hot melted butter through the feeder tube and emulsify it with the other ingredients. Yes, I've noticed that something magical happens during this process, which grinds and pulverizes the sugar. It does make a better cake. It's hard to describe. You then scrape this mixture into a bowl and sift flour, baking powder, and salt into it to finish, mixing and stirring by hand. Bake. I always amaze myself when I make this pound cake. It's perfect every time and tastes like it came from a professional bakery. The secret is the pulverized sugar. 😊

Hi Mary My husband cannot have whole grain products. Can I just use all- purpose flour? I was watching your video on 5 make ahead mixes like the pancake mix, brownie mix, bisquick type mix, cornbread etc. also now your cake mixes. What would the measurements be for just all purpose flour? I also use unbleached flour. Love you and your videos. ❤ Donna - Rhode Island

Can you use this in a 321 cake mix? Normally you take one box cake mix and one box angel food mix,then you add 3TBS of cake mix to a cup,2TBS water and microwave for 1 minute (hint 321 cake) I'd love to make my own,but idk how to make angel food cake mix in dry form to combine with my homemade dry mix... Would I just add powder egg or something to this? Sure hope you can help,because a 321 cake mix is way begter for us to have have one big cake laying around or even cupcakes.

Thank for sharing the video. I'm wondering do I measure the sugar first before making it powder for the recipe? Think I just misunderstood.

Please can you show us how to steam a cake (fruit, carrot, bannana etc) on the stove top.

Vacuum sealing jars is basically the game changers of all game changers. I overhauled my pantry entirely, a couple years ago, when I got my jar attachment. Now I have nearly my entire pantry in sealed jars. The half gallon jars are great for specialty flours, rice and beans.

I wanted to tell you all about my experience with a can of pumpkin...it is organic pumpkin. I knew it was past the best buy date and had it out since like Feb. The date was 07/15 best by. I was finally going to do the deed...I thought a coffee spill put the dark brown on the rim but no it was from holes worn in the metal of the lid on both ends. We had a safety consultant come in and talk to us and in regard to emergency food (or any food), he said the first thing to go is the packaging. We were debating about throwing out old bags of water. If there was no replacement whether we should or shouldn't; we might have gluey water. Cool and dry seem to be the key words but how do we keep that up in the face of shortages, fires, hurricanes, hot and cold temps, flooding? Another item is I had reason to go on the GMA's website, that is Grocery Manufacturers of America, they have all kinds of classes on processing food. You would not believe what is involved and the things they have to consider. It is worth a breeze through the classes descriptions etc. how well they watch our food, new changes such as weather conditions, cc if you ask me, and what can potentially go wrong and happen to our food. I was in the metal canning section, bottling, dry goods sections? don't know. You learn a lot, in just a few minutes at least for our purposes. Sigh, I have to say it one more time...Darn it...was looking forward to pumpkin pudding. That may also be the reason that organic expires before conventional...minor league canners because the conventional behemoths push them aside as far as canners go. I was checking out the Spam and Walmarts brand...I think they refer to it as luncheon meat. I will have to watch that video again. I did not notice at the time but I remember Spam did have a really nice can. they always did. And I think the WM had an adequate can (it has to be by law) The canners are adequate; it is just that like with anything else you can tell the one that is built to last. Spam also has ingredients as long as your arm and you know what that means. But what are you going to use this food for and when do you plan on using it. I wanted to make these points as we go through these considerations for our food purchases. Hope this is helpful all. And I would check out the GMA.

Hello Mary, I'll be making this for sure. My question is I just started using the white wheat berry (I learned from Mrs Rain @ Rain County) after you grid them they need to be used up within a few days or you loose the nutritional value. Or does mixing with the other ingredients help with the shelf life? BTW I made your ginger bug to make ginger ale we love it. Thank you so much for all you do help us. You are a blessing!!

@MarysNest

3 жыл бұрын

Wonderful!! Yes, once whole grains are ground up, they begin to lose their nutrition. That is why you want to pack the jar very full and then cap it tightly. The less air, the less your whole wheat flour will lose its nutritional value. That is why in my recipe, the amount that I have included packs a quart size jar right up to the rim. Remember to tap the jar down periodically as you’re filling it to help compress the mixture and keep as much air out as possible. Stored in this way, it should have a shelflife of about six months. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
