Naturally Nora All Natural Baking Mixes Review & Giveaway -- ENDED

Although I prefer to bake from scratch, sometimes I am so short on time that I don't always have the time to do that. Sometimes it is last minute cupcakes I need to bake for DD's playdates, sometimes it's cookies for her classmates, if I need to make something the last minute I might not have all of the ingredients on hand to do all of the baking I need done. If I am already short on time, the last thing I want to do is run to the store to shop. As such, I always try to have box mixes in my pantry.

I don't usually think about what exactly is in the mixes, I just use them for the conveniences. However, I have been discussing the issues of artificial food dyes with other moms and we have been talking about how we should try to limit it as much as possible. Well, if you are a mom and you are sharing the same concerns we have, then you need to check out Naturally Nora.





The products offered by Naturally Nora are made from all-natural ingredients, there is no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives and no hydrogenated oils. The company sent us an assortment of their products to review. We received cookies mixes, cake mixes, brownie mixes and icing mixes to try out. I used these products to make bake goods for my family and we were all surprised by how good they turned out. The cake was moist and fluffy, the brownie had a nice texture and great favor to it and the cookies were a huge hit (I added shredded coconut to the sugar cookies). The icing was so easy to make, thanks to the mix. I usually buy ready-mixed icing or make my own, so it is nice to get something that only requires a little bit of work, but contains all natural products.

To buy the products we received to review, please visit the Naturally Nora website to locate a retailer near you.

Many thank to Naturally Nora. The company has generously offered an assortment of their products for one of my lucky readers to try as well (US residents only please).
