I understand the appeal of convenience foods-- I truly do. I've made Hamburger Helper, instant pudding, mashed potatoes from flakes and so on. I don't turn my nose up at a box-mix cake. Trust me-- I get it. Sometimes you need something quick and easy (or you're just not confident enough to cook or bake without the safety net). However, there are limits-- or at least I thought there were. Now... I'm not so sure:
Why waste a whole two or three minutes measuring out spices when you can get them pre-measured? (This is going to save me so much time! Think of everything I'll get accomplished in the time I used to waste rummaging through my spice cabinet and fumbling around with measuring spoons! It's going to change my life.)
You get a recipe card, too, but these days, you can find a hundred different recipes for practically any dish you can imagine, for free, online.
I have a feeling these won't be around for long.
