Basic Mix From Eightisenough
17 cups all-purpose flour
8 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoon salt
4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups instant non-fat dry milk powder
4 1/2 cups shortening
In a very large bowl, stir together all dry ingredients. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place. Makes 26 cups. Mix will keep for two to three months. As with any mix, always remember to label and date all containers carefully.
Variations:
For biscuits, mix together 3 cups of baking mix and 2/3 cup water or milk. Blend well, knead slightly, then roll out and cut into desired shape. Bake at 450° for 10 to 15 minutes. Makes 10 to 12 biscuits. For drop biscuits, add 2 tablespoons extra liquid.
For pancakes, mix together 4 1/2 cups basic mix and 2 tablespoons sugar until blended. Add 2 beaten eggs and 2 3/4 cups milk, buttermilk or water. Mix thoroughly. Bake on a well-greased hot griddle. Makes 13 to 16 6-inch pancakes.
For muffins, blend 2 2/3 cups basic mix and 4 tablespoons sugar. Add 1 beaten egg and 1 cup milk or water. Stir just until blended together. Pour into greased muffin cups. Bake at 425° degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes one dozen muffins.
For corn bread, mix 3 cups basic mix, 9 tablespoons cornmeal, and 1 cup sugar. Blend well. Add 3 eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk or water and 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine. Fill greased 9 x 13-inch pan with batter. Bake at 350° for 30 to 40 minutes.
For bread sticks, mix 2 cups basic mix, 1/2 cup cornmeal or flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together. Add a scant 1/2 cup milk or water. Blend to form a dough, then knead until smooth. Form into 12 small logs, about 1/2 inch thick. Bake at 400° for 15 to 20 minutes until crisp and well browned.
For donuts, blend 3 cups basic mix, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Mix together 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 eggs, 2/3 cup milk or water in a separate bowl, then add to dry ingredients. Stir until dough forms. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Roll out 1/2 inch thick and cut with a floured cutter or drinking glass. Fry in hot oil, about 375°, turning once to brown each side. Drain on paper towels. Dredge in powdered sugar while donuts are still warm.

Amanda's Taco seasoning
from www. allrecipes.com:
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Mix it all together in a small bowl, and there you go! I use it just like regular taco seasoning - add it to the meat, add water and let it simmer until thickened a bit. (I guess about 3/4 cup water)

Cream Soups From Freyguys
Instead of Cream of ....
Mushroom, Celery etc soup, I make my own. It tastes SO much better and is easy and cheap. I use this in place of any recipe that calls for these condensed soups.
(Almost) Fat Free White Sauce
1/2 C. flour
3 C. skim milk
1/4 C. or 6 cubes broth powder or bouillon granules
Optional: Any of these vegetables pulverized in your blender or food processor:
sauteed or steamed onion, celery, mushrooms, broccoli
For cheese sauce, add grated cheese, parmesan or Swiss cheese in desired abmounts while sauce is still hot. Stir until melted.
In a sauce pan, warm 2/3 of the total milk. Place all the flour in a bowl and stir in remaining 1/3 milk. When the mixture is no longer lumpy, add it to the warm milk. Stirring constantly over medium heat, bring the sauce to a gentle boil. Allow the sauce to boil for 1 minute while stirring. Remove from heat, add bouillon granules, desired amount of salt and pepper and any of the vegetable options. Makes 3 cups. Can be doubled and freezes well.
This recipe's fat content depends on the amount of fat in the milk you choose and whether or not you steam or saute your added vegetables in oil. Cheese will add fat also.
