#TastyTuesday



DIY mixes from scratch are more tasty than the stuff you can buy in the stores that have ingredients in them that you can't pronounce. Now I'm not making these mixes, I'm lazy, but I have thought about them. When I do buy a mix of something (cornbread, etc) I spend a lot of time reading the labels and purchase the one with the least amount of unintelligible ingredients - and there are the times I can even find mixes that have all okay ingredients! But back to DIY.

Not only does DIY save money but it gives a fresher - tastier - flavor to your foods. I've often thought about whipping up baking mixes to have on hand so that when I'm struck with the mood to bake half the "work" is already done, maybe today - in honor of #TastyTuesday - I'll do just that!

Here's some mix ideas which basically means I just did the Googling for you. *wink*

All-Purpose Baking Mix (this can be used for any recipe calling for a biscuit mix - such as Bisquick)
Pancake Mix (apparently the above all-purpose mix doesn't do pancakes so great, try this instead)
Beef Chili Soup Mix
Homemade Cream of Something Soup I have made this mix before, I made it cream of mushroom and it was delicious! It takes a little extra work but the end result is so worth it, in my opinion.
Brownie Mix Holla! Who doesn't like brownies?!
Cornbread Mix
Yellow Cake Mix
Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix Because cookies.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
