Pintastic Wednesday!!!

This week's theme is food. I {heart} food. I'm not super sure what hit me, but the whole Salmonella scare about 4 years ago freaked me right out. I don't think I've eaten store bought tomatoes since, or at a restaurant. They just don't taste the same since we lost most of the manufacturing crops of tomatoes.

Anyways that is just a tid bit into my life of eating tomatoes. I've been looking into canning, and have been making pre-mixed stuff. Its easier on our pocket books, and fun. Its actually a bit of an ego boost to say you hand made those waffles, or that ranch dressing was from scratch. Little do the people know, that it was SUPER easy to make and only took 2 seconds! So that is what this weeks inspiration is! Food prep and the easy delish way of doing so!

 
About a month ago I found Meals4Moms' recipe for pancake/waffle mix! Oh my heck it is amazing! I think we've eaten waffles about every weekend! It makes a bunch too!

I've not tried this one yet, but I am going to! I think these would be great Christmas gifts, and great for those you know might need meals or something! by Self Reliance by Jaime

 
Redfly has a stellar premixes for a bunch of things! I want to try out the brownie mix!
Reluctant Entertainer gives a great recipe for a smokey salsa! I'm going to try this one when my tomatoes grow in! (Scroll pretty far to the bottom of her blog to find it!)

My recipes has a fun canned pickle recipe! I'll have to grop some cucumbers neckt year to try this one out!


I'd love it if you would
