Shirley J’s ‘Master 30 Meals’ GIVEAWAY!

As many of you know, one strategy I employ to help afford Parker is cooking by scratch and keeping a stocked pantry The Prudent Homemaker style.

But I understand that many really don’t know how to cook from scratch, and others are totally overwhelmed at the thought of long term food storage.

So when Shirley J asked if I would be interested in reviewing their Master 30 Meals…….well, I couldn’t get the word YES! out fast enough.

I received their Starter Pack A which includes:

.
• 96-page program guide and cook book.
• Shirley J Story DVD.
• Universal Sauce, 5-pack.
• White Cheddar, 5-pack.
• Chicken Bouillon, 16 oz.
• Beef Bouillon, 16 oz.
• Pizza & Pasta Seasoning, 8 oz.
• BBQ Sauce Mix, 12 oz.
• Honey White Bread Mix, 1 Loaf.
• Honey Wheat Bread Mix, 1 Loaf.
• Sourdough Bread Mix, 1 Loaf.
• Universal Biscuit & Baking Mix, 1 Batch.
• Universal Dessert Crème Mix, 5-Pack.


Master 30 Meals was designed to help you Master 30 family friendly meals. You get recipes, instructions, and tips, shopping guides….it’s foolproof!

And if THAT’S NOT ENOUGH, you can check out Shirley’s J’s YouTube Cooking Demos.

I have heard so much about Shirley J’s Universal White Sauce that when my kit arrived I grabbed that sauce, turned to pg. 16 of the included cookbook and started cooking! I wanted to see how well this universal sauce matched up to my usual made by scratch Macaroni and Cheese Casserole.

Pasta’s done!

Cheese is grated!

I added the water to Shirley J’s Universal Sauce and stirred. How easy is that? Then I added the cheese to the white sauce and then THAT to the pasta. Topped it with bread crumbs and baked at 350 until bubbly.

The result?

Well, by the time I took it out of the oven and turned around to grab my camera, my family was already digging in.

The Verdict?

You have no idea how hard it was to get this picture. It’s like herding cats.
Feral cats.

But they DID love the mac and cheese!

  11. Shelly says:

    I’d love to win this, Seeing as I am unemployed right now, and my fiance does not bring in a ton at his job, we are scraping by with his check and my unemployment, anything that would help me cook more meals cheaper would work for me. The less money we spend on food, the more we can save for our wedding.. which by this point is not happening anytime soon….

  12. Mindy says:

    I have maybe ten good meals. Then maybe 6 blah meals. I’ve been married 16 years, why can’t I cook??

    Oooh, I would love to have this prize. I am always looking for new ideas for things to serve my family that don’t take too long to prepare. With 4 kids (including twin babies) I just don’t have much time to put a good dinner together sometimes.

  18. Stephanie says:

    Always looking for ways to stock up for our food storage. We have had to use up quite a bit trying to move (so we wouldn’t have to move it all). Now I have to re-stock! :)

    I absolutely love to cook! But, since becoming disabled, I sometimes have trouble being able to stand long enough to cook from scratch. This looks like a great ‘shortcut’ for me to use on those days.
