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?

Hello! Since we are an American based company, most of our recipes are designed for shopping in the States. We're sorry you aren't finding what you need in your supermarket. Most of our recipes are designed to be simple for the home chef; this is why we use Diabetic/sugar free cake mixes. But, we do have scratch baking recipes on our site! Search for our Little Italy Cake, or our carrot Cake. Thank you for commenting. :) We hope you find this helpful and that you have a wonderful day!

Can this be made ahead and frozen?

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
