[...] I really enjoy cooking, but baking’s not really my thing. It involves math and precision, two things I’m not so fond of. So I typically stick to mixes when it comes to baked goods. [...]

I would choose to bake ANY DAY over cooking and am NOT a "mix" snob! I do like to try things from scratch, if I have time. But if I'm in a hurry I don't think twice about getting out that mix! On one of Beth Moore's blogs she recommended a mix, I bought it & am making it tonight for dessert-Betty Crocker's Hershey Cookie Brownie Bars! You can make cookies out of the mix or Brownies! Whatever you choose! Also a fan of Pillbury Quick breads mix for Pumpkin bread–found a ginger cream cheese frosting recipe that is divine on top of that pumpkin bread! Now I'm hungry, where are those cookies!?

sometimes muffins from scratch are worth the work, but I have to admit the quickies from the box are just as delicious!

I really don't bake much anymore because 1.) I would probably eat too much of what I made. 2.) see no. 1…… Loved your post:) I would live for you to join up with Crock Pot Wednesdays on Diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com. It will begin in August.

I prefer baking over cooking, actually. But that is usually not from scratch. ;)

Mel, Mary's use of "scratchiness" totally reminded me of you. ;)

i like to bake. i don't do it often cuz i'm just plain lazy, but i do like to. (although if it's cookies, i'd rather just make the dough and snack on that.)
i'm a huge bread person: muffins, bagels, banana bread (and the like), garlic bread, waffles, anything at all. (unless there are blueberries involved - then keep that away from anything i'm going to eat. i can't even stand the taste of blueberry that gets absorbed into the poppyseed muffin if they're next to each other.)

oh, and onions in cheesy chicken totally count. :)

I do not love to bake. Since I usually try to eat as healthy as possible, I eat complex carbs. You know… whole grain and no white flour, etc. My husband likes eating more natural also, but he does love cornbread. So occasionally I'll make cornbread from a package. Add water, stir and bake. That's my style.

que to roll your eyes–but, yes, I am a bake from scratch kind of gal…except for brownies, because no scratch recipe can beat a box! I love to make ciabatta, cinnamon rolls, blueberry muffins (have an awesome recipe) and my weakness is a good cookie. Basically, I love homemade carbs and am proud of it!
