Anyways, I went on the site to get a recipe that the book does not have (we have been meaning to replace it). So the recipe I made was great so I looked at the others on the site and many of the cake recipes include short cuts, like, using the cake mix for the cake part instead of making the cake from scratch.
Call me old fashion, but if I'm looking for a cake recipe, I expect to find an actual recipe not a short cut with other ingredients.
Thankfully they have an actual recipe for some of the base cake mixes.
Does that bother anyone else?
I agree! I joined the same web site, which is very well laid out and very user friendly, but the wonderful looking recipes with chicken usually call for some sort of cream soup. I try to fix chicken to be healthy and the cream soup kind of blows that out of the water!
