Its been a couple weeks and I've been formulating my next steps in this journey... I've been asked by several people about homemade mixes and recipes using those mixes... so today, I'm sharing one standby and recipes for that mix. In the next week, I'll be sharing other baking mixes as well as spice mixes to prepare and have handy in your pantry! Having mixes ready cuts prep time and is more economical than buying the same mixes at the store. Enjoy!
