Jiffy Corn Bread Mix from Scratch and Canning Stats

I am sharing a link for a homemade recipe that is a great substitute for the boxed Jiffy Corn Bread Mix.  


Recipe:  Jiffy Corn Bread Mix Clone Recipe

We are working on eliminating boxed mixes that contain ingredients that are not healthy for our bodies.  This recipe can be used in any recipe that requires the box mix.  I made our corn pudding recipe using this, not using the egg and milk, and it turned out tasting even better.

I know these boxes sell for $.50 or less, but is it worth it to consume ingredients you can't even pronounce?  I'm putting this recipe in my recipe box today.

I thought it would be fun to keep track of my canning stats this season.  I'm keeping track of it on the left side of my blog.

Keep in mind, that I have a large family, and that some of the jelly is being made to re-stock our shelves.   I have a tendency to give some away too. 

Thanks for visiting today!

clever! I should keep a running list of our harvest and canned/frozen veggies...

I'm going to check out the cornbread mix. I've made baking mix before and we like it and it's very versatile.

I'm new to corn bread and recently an american friend gave me a box of 'jiffy'. We all loved the corn muffins but I was a bit disappointed on reading all the 'ingredients' on the packet!! Thank you for posting this alternative recipe! only problem now for me is getting corn meal; we have polenta here in france but I'm told it's not the same thing? but I'm sure it will work all the same.

Yep, some of the ingredients in the prepackaged and boxed foods is downright scary! When all of my kids were still at home, I had actually turned my cornbread recipe into a mix. I had forgotten about that until recently and have been thinking of doing it once again. Even though the house is no longer bursting full of people, I still stay really busy around here and it would be very convenient.

I LOVE both corn muffins and corn pudding, and don't mind a bit about making my OWN instead of buying the mix! Can't wait to try out this recipe. Thank you for sharing it! ~tina

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
