everything seems to use 'packet of cake mix' do you have any recipes which do actually cook from scratch without using a 'packet mix' of anything, i live in UK, and do not really see these fat reduced/or diabetic cake mixes packets on my supermarket shelves?

To make this ahead of time, you can prepare the casserole and freeze before baking. On the day of, just thaw and cook.

Even though we ate 2 servings each(no willpower) is only came to @410 calories...not bad. Very tasty....have used frozen mixed veg and just broccoli and just green beans...tend to add more veggies than recipe calls for
