Homemade Convenience Mixes

This weekend I made some Blueberry Pancakes and since I had all my ingredients out I thought I'd mix up my dry ingredients to have handy for next time. I didn't stop at pancakes I also mixed up some waffle mix and biscuit mix. I'm so excited about having these handy. I doubled each of the pancake and waffle mix because if I am going to dirty my griddle/wafflemaker I want to make a bunch and then freeze them. They make easy breakfasts and snacks during the week. After you add all your dry ingredients to wherever you are storing them, make sure you note what else you need to add to them. Hooray for less dishes!
