All the way from scratch

There's a very popular recipe for corn casserole that uses Jiffy corn mix.  It seems all the corn casserole recipes call for Jiffy corn mix.  What if one doesn't have Jiffy?  Or if one finds the ingredients objectionable?  The internet can make the switch from box to scratch very easy.  A search produces Jiffy Corn Mix Copycat recipe.  How easy is that? 

And to think that I once was unhappy that all the muffin mixes have hydrogenated oils.  Something that isn't desirable can usually lead to something that is.  Muffin mix from scratch.  Not only is it cheaper to make but much better for us.  Win win.  I'm trying to teach the children that usually we don't have to compromise our principles.  Um.  Make that, ever.  If the box has ingredients that we don't use, it means the box isn't for us.  If the box isn't for us, we can still make the dish.  I think I don't even have to own another cookbook.  Well, except for Nourishing Traditions.  Some books are just too full of good stuff.
