[@keepingourhome7271]

Gee, Mary, memories. Another lifetime ago, before we even had children, (😳my eldest is almost 44!😳), I hosted a Tupperware party. In those days, you’d get steak knifes, etc household items for hosting, not the Tupperware as is received today. Anyway, long story longer, I received two cookbooks, “Make A Mix Cookery” and “More Make A Mix Cookery”. Still have them! Love how you’re teaching a whole new generation, or, two, I suppose, how to have nutritious, on-hand mixes, that don’t cost a major portion of their food budgets, as store-bought mixes do. Wonderful! Especially during this pandemic and ensuing lock-down and social isolation , a blessing in disguise, as women and men are, so often, cooking more often with the kids in their lives! Love it! Thank you, Mary!

[@lindakean7392]

SAME! If you see the alternative amounts please let me know!!! Maybe Mary can address this. All the sugar additives on recipies puts me on edge, lol

[@katherinetyrrell8810]

I just made the hot chocolate mix. The only thing I did differently is I added cinnamon to the mix. It is good for controlling blood sugar and my kids love the flavor. I am also going to make a sugar-free version for my Mom. Basically, everything, but the sugar. That way she can enjoy/sweeten it with agave when she wants a cup, without spiking her blood sugar. I have made hot chocolate mixes every year,but never thought to blend/powder the sugar. It makes a HUGE difference!! It mixes beautifully with no more grainy residue. Thank you, Mary for sharing your wisdom and genuine joy for cooking. With all the horrible things happening in our world right now, your can-do attitude has helped me recover my joy.

[@YT4Me57]

Bless you! One of my 'pet peeves' about cooking/baking, is all of the steps involved in getting anything from concept to plate. It can be overwhelming to me before I even pull out a bowl. While I can spend hours at a computer researching and writing reports, the idea of spending an hour in the kitchen gives me agita. These mixes will certainly ease my anxiety a great deal!

I've seen them in all kinds of dry food and supplement products but it never occurred to me to buy some to use in homemade mixes.

Mary, thank you so much for these wonderful pantry recipes. One thing to point out, saturated fats are shelf stable while non-saturated fats are not.

[@MarysNest]

Definitely. For these mixes, I wanted to leave out the fats - even if saturated - because they would moisten the whole grains shortening the grains shelf life. So happy you liked these recipes! Love, Mary

0:53 for a greater shelf stability, one can vacuum seal the mixes in Mylar bags with oxygen packs. You can also oven can in mason jars.

[@lindakean7392]

My objective is to get long term shelf stable (not 6 mo, more like 6 yrs :) so Im glad to see this can be done with the mylar bags. How long will these mixes last in mylar w/oxygen absorbers? thx!

[@MsBeachLizard]

@@lindakean7392 Hi! YEARS & YEARS!!! Waaaay beyond your six years. Some say 30-50 years if properly stored. I just remembered I had this in my saved video playlist. Here is an excellent video to help you understand the entire process. She explains it very well. She puts her leftover o2 absorbers in a jar. I reseal mine using a food saver with the food saver bags. I also use the hair iron. It's fantastically convenient. I hope this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/baOmaWN6lsuBjdU

[@lindakean7392]

@@MsBeachLizard Yes I have seen those videos and have mylars that I havent used yet. Im a little intimidated by the process! Wasnt sure if oxygen absorbers or silica packs should be used with Marys make ahead mixes.. Im guessing silica since there is milk in there??

[@MsBeachLizard]

@@lindakean7392 No problem! No fear! Just jump in 🤗 Use BOTH! The o2 absorbers prevent spoilage by removing oxygen, which in turn keeps out microorganisms (mold, bacteria, yeast), and bug-type pests. Pests cannot breed-much less survive-in an anaerobic environment. Oxygen absorbers can also help with the moisture, but that is the sole purpose of the desiccant packs. However, note that food grade desiccants will *not* control microorganisms. So use both. (Just don’t use o2 absorbers in sugars, baking soda/powder.) The silica must be *food grade.* Just make sure whatever you store, store it in a cool and dark place where nothing can get to it. If there is even a question about possible pests-or if you are storing a lot at one time-put your Mylar bags in a tote with the lid. Have fun!

Hi Mary! I absolutely would use every one of these baking mixes, I can't wait to try the brownie. I was wondering a couple of things. First, can I combine two different sugars such as coconut sugar and organic cane sugar in the same mix, and also how long do the silica packs last? BTW, I use your recipe for beef bone broth and it is great. Thank you

[@MarysNest]

Great questions! Yes, you can mix sugars. And as to the silica gel packs - they basically last indefinitely. Depending on what brand you use, they either change color, or have a colored dot on them that changes color, or give you some other indication once they have absorbed as much moisture as possible. Then what you do is remove them from the jar and dry them out in the microwave. And then you can reuse them and put them back in your jar. I put a link to my favorite brand in the description under the video. They come in all different sizes. SO happy to hear that the beef bone broth video is working out for you!! I also have lots of other types of bone broth videos here: kzbin.info/aero/PLkRuW3pBo2U0JFsTi2N7sHSpU-vBR04CH Love, Mary

Hi Mary. New to your channel. Appreciate all of the knowledge you are sharing with us. My question is: When should I use oxygen absorbers vs silica gel packs? If I seal the mixes in a Mylar bag or vacuum seal a mason jar, will they last longer than six months? Thanks!

[@MarysNest]

Hi Bill, Silica gel packs help keep things moisture free but when it comes to using Oxygen Absorbers, you need to be very careful. I have learned...They can only be used with foods that have 10% moisture or less. And many believe that whole grain flour is too oily (and therefore not “dry” enough) to be stored with Oxygen Absorbers. I go over all of this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp-TpniJr9GCrNE And I go over Mylar bag storage, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZvFo6pjg7F5las As to shelf life, when it comes to whole grain flours, no matter how you store them, I think it is tough to get them to stay fresh past 6 months. And it is generally NOT recommended to store whole grain flours (not whole grains) in Mylar bags for the same reasons that they shouldn’t be stored with Oxygen Absorber. The oxygen free environment can create a problem with botulism when it comes to moist or oily foods. Love, Mary

Just made brownies from the mix for the first time. While mixing it together it seemed very dry. I couldn't pour it. I added an additional egg and then ended up patting it into the pan. Any thoughts about what might be going on? They are in the oven and smell amazing.

Hi Mary, How about a quick bread make ahead mix? Or would you use the quick mix or muffin one? Thanks!

Hi Melody, That is a great idea. In a pinch, the muffin mix would work but I will have to experiment to get one that will work perfectly for a quick bread with the right proportions, etc. Thanks for the inspiration! Love, Mary

Hello Mary! I am new to your channel, and was wondering, if i don’t have whole wheat flour can i just use AP flour for all of these recipes?

Are those lids the plastic ones Ball makes? And isnt that gonna keep things too moist? Can we use oxegen absorbers instead of silica? Its what i have on hand.
