In about the same time it takes to mix up your Bisquick you can make them from scratch…and sorry Bisquick, but they come out much, much better.

My brother figured the likely culprit was the oldest home from college and he asked him. What happened to the meat and bread? Well the meat went to his one sandwich and he took the loaf of bread as well as a jar of peanut butter to work just in case he got hungry, which apparently he did. Feeding that many kiddos really means that going out to eat often is a bad financial choice. I remember growing up (we … [Read more...]
