What are some Box items/Shortcuts you prefer over homemade? Homemade is hard to beat but sometimes that one item makes it easier or it just may have a hard to beat taste vs the hard work put into homemade.

Jiffy Cornbread for me.

I RA'd for you to be temporarily banned from the F&Db for a week or two.

This isn't really "box" or "homemade", but I think canned San Marzano tomatoes blow fresh tomatoes out of the water when it comes to pasta dishes such as spaghetti.

Fresh tomatoes are too watery.

Chicken/beef stock. Just a lot easier than homemade, especially when you have less time to prepare a dinner.

Does boil in the bag rice count?

You're the one who recommended that. After you did that in the pancake thread a few months ago, I ordered some from Amazon. I have to agree with you. It's good stuff.
