Here are this week’s four questions.
#1. Name your biggest cooking influence. My Mom I guess. She never really cooked towards my high school years though. I was the last of five so she went for the convenience foods then. But I remember her making pinto beans & cornbread, fried taters and onions, as well as canning what we grew in the garden.
#2. What is your ultimate comfort food? pinto beans & cornbread, fried taters and onions, sweet tea
#3. Name one must have tool that you think every kitchen should have. a set of silicone spatulas in various sizes. They allow you to get the last bit of batter out of the bowl as well as out of a jar.
#4. Share a time saving tip. When you run out of a mix, don't run to the store to buy yet another box of it... go online and see if you can find a mix recipe for that. Better yet, check out my post on the Make A Mix cookbooks. You could never have to buy a pre-packaged mix like pancake mix, muffin mix, and more again. I don't buy them. I always have the ingredients on hand to make these so I save money at the store and don't have to make a special trip to go buy more when I run out. I just pick my supplies up when I do my monthly shops.

Yes, spatulas are definitely a great tool for the kitchen. I might have to check out those cookbooks. It'd be nice to make my own mixes and not have to buy a bazillion different products.
Yup, I love my spatulas too, and I have a set of silicone brushes as well -- great for basting in the oven or on the BBQ, and they wash like a dream!
I've never tried a silicone brush actually. I'll have to check that out.
Thanks for playing FFOF.
Stumbled.
I just got a silicone basting brush this year and LOVE it! And I know I need to invest in some good silicone spatulas - my current ones are in a sad state.
I love the idea of making mixes instead of buying storebought. Does it really save money? I'll have to try it!
Have a great weekend!
I am a total sweet tea addict.
My spatulas are so underused. I still have some muffin mix sitting around but I haven't got to them yet.
I love my silicon spatulas and my silicon pot holders - the only ones that I use now.
My comfort foods are what my mother cooked, too,when I was growing up.
I also grew up on beans, cornbread and taters. This is the greatest combination of food. I love this meal!
