Make Your Own Cooking Mixes

Here’s a way to save time and money in the kitchen, as well as control the types of food your family eats: pre-mixing the dry ingredients for pancakes, brownies, cakes, cookies, cornbread and other meals/desserts.

To do so, all you need to do is get a bit organized and follow these tips:

• Determine how many times you’d like to prepare pancakes, waffles, cakes or brownies this month.

• Set out that number of Ziploc freezer storage bags.

• Reading the recipe, add all of the dry ingredients for one batch to each freezer bag.

• Label the bag with the recipe name and the date.

• Store in freezer, to keep the mixes fresh for months.

• When its time to make pancakes or brownies, add the eggs, water, oil and other wet ingredients to a bowl along with the dry ingredients from one bag, following the recipe instructions.
