Master Baking Mix

I have been making a Master Baking Mix for a few years now. I use it just as I would store bought baking mixes, think of the product that starts with a B and ends in quick, it comes in a yellow box with blue letters. Yep, you can totally make that homemade and cut out all the random ingredients! I usually make 4-6 batches each time I make this mix and just store it in my freezer.

Master Baking Mix

Ingredients

2 Cups Flour

1 tsp Baking Powder

1 tsp Sugar

1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 Cup Butter or Shortening*

Directions

Place all ingredients into the bowl of your stand mixer, or food processor, mix (using the whisk attachment if using a mixer).

Continue to mix until the mixture resembles sand, your butter/shortening should be well incorporated.

Place mix into an airtight container, or zip-top bag, and store in your freezer.

*If using butter, it needs to be between firm and soft. I usually heat mine in the microwave for about 8 seconds.

Do you love those store bought master mixes as much as I do? I plan on featuring a few throughout the next month that are easy to make at home! I will also be sharing some GREAT recipes to use all the mixes with!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Be sure to check out our Make Bake Create Party to get some fun fall decorating and recipe ideas!

FROZEN Hot Chocolate

I am sure by now, most of you know that FROZEN the Movie is coming to theaters THIS WEEK (the 27th to be exact)! I am so excited!! My girls saw some of the FROZEN merchandise while we were at Walt Disney World and that is all they could talk about.....for days! It has been a rough school year for both of the girls so far. Mads is adjusting to being in the upper elementary, was dealing with a bully and gets super frustrated with math (even though she is really good at it). MG is adjusting to actually being in school, went through a time of having accidents at school and she just misses her mommy. To celebrate Mads good grades and MG going a month accident free, I decided to treat the girls with a few fun new toys and some hot chocolate. Once I heard that FROZEN merchandise was available at Walmart, I ran to stock up. While I was there, it hit me! I could have #Frozenfun with the hot chocolate and make FROZEN Hot chocolate! I just knew the girls would love it! I was k

Le Cellier - Chedder Cheese Soup Recipe Review

I first talked about this soup here . I have to admit, was not real eager to try this soup. I can not stand the taste of beer. PERIOD! It doesn't take much in a recipe for me to be able to taste it. With that being said, the soup wasn't bad. I would try it with ginger ale next time though. Before I tell you what I thought of the soup I need to be fair and tell you about some changes I made to the recipe. First, the recipe tells you to cook the bacon just to render out the fats, not to make crispy. I did not render out enough of the fats and in fact next time, I would cook the bacon until it IS crispy. I don't like limp bacon, I like my bacon extra crispy. Second, I TOTALLY forgot to cook down the onions and celery before adding the flour! Ummmm......ooops! So my bacon was limp and my veggies were crispy! HAHA! Next, I am not on a budget to be able to purchase "Aged White Cheddar" so good ol Yellow Sharp Cheddar it was! I did NOT add one tablespoo

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet! Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up. I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this. FREE is ALWAYS good! I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail. I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results. I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it. You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal} 12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Directions f
