There’s no reason anymore to buy over-priced “time-saving” boxes, cans, or jars of mixes and pre-made or pre-prepped foods: this series shows you how to make everything from mac’n'cheese to moist chocolate cake without resorting to a box for help. You can still save time and energy without resorting to chemicals, hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, colorings and preservatives! So throw away the box; pull out your bowls and spoons, and get busy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you eliminated refined sugar from your diet, but still want to make a cake for a special event? You don’t need to resort to that bag of powdered sugar! In this series, you’ll find all sorts of creative recipes that teach you how to make frostings from scratch without any powdered sugar. Instead, use honey and less refined sugars to create decadent toppings your whole family will love. Try the Fluffy Coffee Frosting, the Honey Cream Cheese Frosting, or my personal favorite, Caramel Buttercream.
