Lately I have been wanting to make some pre-made mixes that I would have on hand to make things a lot easier. I chose 5 of the most used dry recipes in our home and decided to make them in bulk and store them in canisters. This would make everything easier, faster, and would definitely encourage me to bake things rather than purchase them.
I decided to make brownie mix, muffin mix, pancake and waffle mix, and tortilla mix.
Brownies are my go to dessert when I know company is coming over or am having a major chocolate craving.
We always have some sort of muffin around the house, and making this mix will make my life that much easier.
Pancakes and waffles are a staple breakfast and sometimes dinner item in our family.
Tortillas are definitely a staple item on our grocery list and making our own is saving us a lot of money.
Just so you know ...
The canisters I got at Dollarama for $2.50 each and the labels are from Staples and they are from the Martha Stewart line.

Just came across your site through Pinterest. Thank you so much for sharing! I love the idea of having these mixes on hand at all times. Specially is nice when you get a hankering to bake, or your kids do, and you know you have them in the pantry. It was not the case when I had to have boxes of the mixes before. ^_^ Thanks again! ^_^
