I’m always on the lookout for a kitchen “multi-tasker” – one item with LOTS of uses! A box of corn muffin mix is one of the most versatile items in your kitchen. It’s also really cheap – I was able to find a pack of six boxes of Jiffy corn muffin mix for just $3.19! Today I’m sharing four recipes that are easy, cheap and so tasty.
