Bisquick: FIRED


Bisquick, you may be heart healthy and come with Box Tops for Education, but you're easily replaceable when it comes to pancakes and waffles in the morning, so you're FIRED!!!

My friend Annie gave me this great pancake mix recipe:
4 cups flour 
3 Tbsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp, 2 tsp sugar

So, I mixed it all up using 2 cups white flour and 2 cups whole wheat flour and put it one of my Tupperware storage containers.  In fact, I threw all the ingredients in the container, put the lid on it and shook it to mix them up.  Super easy and a quick and easy swap for Bisquick.


I put some packaging tape on the side and listed the ingredients that need to be added when I'm ready to make waffles.

Just add 1 egg, 1 cup milk and 1 tbsp of melted butter to 1 cup of the dry mix.   And, the waffles we made were delicious!!!

Current Project: cooking from scratch

There's a million reason to do it (environment & health being the primary two), but I'm making an effort to reduce the amount of processed foods our family eats.  I'm a mom who cooks most of our meals, but there are so many handy shortcuts that I'm going to strive to avoid.  I make no promises of a processed-free future, but I strive to make improvements.
