Breakfast Prep
I don’t know about you, but breakfast is the most hectic meal that I prepare. Even on the weekends. I think maybe because we all want to eat quickly and breakfast food is a little harder to cook so that it comes out all at the same time. Recently I decided to help myself out a little by preparing ahead.
Having pancakes or waffles are usually a must with my boys, and I like making them from scratch, but getting all the ingredients out to mix them takes time. So, I had my son make up several bags of the dry ingredients, with a little note with the wet ingredients, which will save time looking up the recipe also.
The pancakes are light and fluffy, the same mix can be used for waffles.
I also made some extra waffles and froze them. They make a great quick breakfast during the week. Just pop them in the toaster.
Be sure to let the waffles cool down before putting them in the bags though.

What a good idea! When I go back to uni next week I think I will try this out and prepare a few batches of pancake mix ahead of time so that when I really fnacy pancakes I don’t have to dig out the recipe hehe!

A fabulous solution instead of buying Eggos!! The other night my husband I were eating homemade pizza and he looked at me and said – “Honey, everything we’re eating tonight is either homegrown or homemade – there’s no preservatives or anything!! This tastes so fresh” I couldn’t believe he was so excited and that he could tell the difference.
But it does make all the difference! Thanks for the great idea!

It’s both a Finer Thing AND a smart thing!

I always make a batch of dry pancake mix in a ziplock before going camping and tape a list of the wet ingredients needed….makes it much easier to get up and mix it without having to start from scratch. During the school year, I often make a bunch of pancakes to freeze, then the girls just warm 1 or 2 up in the morning-a nice, warm breakfast without all the fuss:)
