BAKING MIXES!
Cake, pancake, muffin... you get the picture. What self-respecting food storage would be without? Not only can you buy them (look for sales and coupons!), but there are great websites that show you how you can make your own. Remember these can get buggy, so store them correctly in cool, dry areas. I actually put mine (box and all) in a plastic zip lock bag. Which I continually reuse.
Do you want to make your own? Check out this site -- "Fake-It Frugal" -- she has recipes such as:
Fake Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookies:1 Cup Flour
1/4 Cup White Sugar
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
3/4 Cup Chocolate Chips
Mix together and store in a quart size ziplock bag. Write instructions on the bag to add: 1 Stick Softened Butter, 1 Large Egg, 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract. Mix & Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes
How about another reason to store cake mixes? You can make "1-2-3 Cake" -- this one has several versions, but this one is compliments of thehiddenpantry.blogspot.com Mix ONE box Angel Food Cake Mix, ONE box of another favorite cake mix (she shows Devil's Food -- get it?) in a ziplock bag or storage bowl. When you want a single serving of this yummy cake, add 3 tablespoons of this mixture with 2 tablespoons of water in a small cup or mug and cook for 1 minute in the microwave... Hence "3-2-1!"Enjoy!
