The mix comes from my friends at Mad Dash Mixes. I met the folks from Mad Dash Mixes as a blogging convention last summer. I fell in love with their line of products and have spent the last several months introducing some of their products to all of you. They did send me some product to test but all of my opinions are my own. If you are interested in ordering some of their mixes, check out their website at www.MadDashMixes.com

COOKING WITH KIM
My entrepreneurial journey started with my love of herbs , both growing and cooking with them. My love of herbs eventually lead to owning a pizzeria.
After relocating to Florida, I decided to start a blog where I could share my love of cooking, decorating and crafting.
Throughout my culinary career, I have discovered the using mixes can make a cook’s life so much easier! Using a mix to make a recipe is as simple as adding a few ingredients to the mix and then stirring, cooking or chilling and serving! Mixes are such a time saver! After meeting the folks from Mad Dash Mixes* at a blogging conference this summer, I decided to add a weekly blog post featuring recipes using their mixes. Now I am now having a lot of fun working with the ladies from Mad Dash Mixes.
