Homemade Dry Soup Mix

Is there such a thing as a home made dry soup mix that a mother can prepare to send to college with boys who don't want to bother to cook good meals? I've sent ground beef, roasts, and steaks and found them all still in the freezer at the end of the year. I would like to make some mixes that only need a little prep effort. I think I care more than they do about their health!

Recipes for Cupcakes from Around the World

I am seeking recipes for cupcakes from ALL OVER THE WORLD. I work with seniors in their activities department and have a monthly 'Cooking With Stephanie' activity and thought that cupcakes from around the globe would be interesting since a lot of the residents are from different backgrounds. Thank you!!

Do you need yeast when making bread with self rising flour? I would like a recipe for making bread with self rising flour and no yeast. Is this possible?

Recipes for Chocolate Chunks and Pieces

I just bought 12 10 oz. bags of dark chocolate chips and chunks. Why? Because they were 59 cents a bag. I could just sit and eat them by the handful but I thought I should use some of them in baking.

I'm looking for a fudge recipe that uses marshmallow cream and other chocolate recipes.

Bread That Takes Ten Days to Make

I have been looking and asking around for quite a while now, I used to have a recipe for a kind of bread that takes 10 days to make. You get a large ziplock bag and put 3 ingredients in it, 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of sugar,i am not sure of the ingredients, and close up the baggie and squash the bag working the bag back and forth, up and down and every which way but loose, then lay it on your kitchen counter for about 3 days I think.

Each day working the bag again, after the 3 days you add something else to the bag and squish squash the bag again for another 2 or 3 days. It keeps going like that adding another ingredient or tow and squashing the bag, until all ten days or whatever is over you take out a cup for your next starter or give it to a friend for his or her new starter, or just bake it all up in a bread. Anyone out there that knows this recipe please speak up, none of my family remembers any of this and i was sure my sister in-law gave me this recipe, but oh well, maybe someone will recognize it.
