Dry Mix Dinners
By Josie B. Malone — Read for FREE on Kindle Unlimited
Let’s be honest—many dry mix cookbooks ask for things you can’t find in a regular grocery store. I know, because I’ve bought those same ingredients myself. The truth is, Dry Mix Dinners isn’t about making you hunt down obscure bulk items—it’s about teaching you how to build better mixes with what you have, and showing you how a few smart pantry staples can turn into endless meals.
Yes, some recipes call for specialty items like powdered butter or freeze-dried vegetables, but only because they make your mixes shelf-stable and giftable. You can always swap, skip, or scale them to fit your budget and pantry. Many of these ingredients now come in smaller bags online—no need for 20-pound sacks or emergency-prepper bins.
And as for serving sizes? I keep them small and flexible by design. Every recipe lists one serving so you can multiply or divide without the math gymnastics. Whether you’re cooking for one or six, you decide how much to make—because food should fit your life, not the other way around.
As for beans, rice, and pasta—some mixes absolutely do need to be cooked separately. That’s part of making sure everything cooks evenly and tastes right. I’ve noted it clearly in the instructions, and each mix is meant to be easy, not complicated. These jars are about real food convenience, not shortcuts that sacrifice quality. Inside You’ll Discover
Troubleshooting & Seasonal Ideas — fix clumps, boost flavor, and refresh your pantry year-round. Why You’ll Love Dry Mix Dinners
Real Ingredients, Real Choices: Use what you have, substitute what you can, and don’t stress over perfection.
Flexible Servings: Recipes are portioned for one person—easy to scale for families or gifting.
Practical, Not Pretentious: These mixes work whether you shop at Walmart or Whole Foods.
Family-Tested: Every recipe was tried, tweaked, and approved by my five kids.
Gift-Ready: Beautiful jars that make thoughtful, personal presents.
A Note from Josie: I’m new to writing cookbooks, and I’ve learned that formatting, portioning, and ingredient choices matter as much as flavor. Dry Mix Dinners is the result of hundreds of hours of testing—and of listening to readers who wanted a more down-to-earth, flexible guide.
This book isn’t about selling bulk ingredients—it’s about empowering you to make wholesome, shelf-stable mixes that fit your real life.
