I would love a list of what kind of mixes you make! I’d LOVE to make my own!

I noticed a lot of comments about pancakes and waffles so i'll offer my 2cents for a parenting shortcut… Batter Blaster pancakes. They are organic and come in a spray bottle so its super fast and no mess prepping. I know that sounds crazy but it is actually pretty good and my kids go nuts when they get to help make them. Enjoy

Can you post some recipes that mix ahead of time (waffles, biscuits, brownies, etc.) I think this is a great idea, but I don't know where to start. Thx

I've been doing a ton of reading on once-a-month-cooking and freezing, so these tips were so helpful, and especially the photos. It's hard to envision how to get all of it done in my head!

Great idea! I never thought of mixing up just the dry ingredients. Problem is I don't have hardly any recipes I make often…. don't think I've ever made pancakes with the same recipe twice! Actually, one thing I make a lot is my grandma's biscuit recipe. Prepping the dry ingredients for that would be a cinch.

Thank you, Thank You for the wonderful idea. I am an Air Force homeschooling mom of four whose husband is gone a lot. Wednesday is our baking day. Preparing the mixes will make things go so much faster, less of a MESS, and all boys can help and not fight over who gets to help or whose turn it is next to help. My third son wants to be a chef when he grows up but all three like to help bake. I am very blessed and very thankful and grateful! Happy Thanksgiving! I enjoy reading your posts each day. Thank you for the help, hints, and lessons.

I love this idea! I make dry mix for cream soup, and we routinely make homemade pancakes, but I never put it together that I could do this for brownies, cookies, or those pancakes.

But put on the pout now: I just asked my daughter to join me in the kitchen to do a little "baggin' up" and she doesn't want to! Guess I'm on my own this afternoon…

I would love to have some of your MYOM recipes too. By the way, these make great gifts. You can attach a note to the mixes telling what to add and how to cook and then fill a gift bag or basket with bags.
