I’m always open to time-saving ideas.  I read one the other day that seemed worth trying.  I tried it out and it was brilliant!  Enough of the suspense here it is:

Homemade pre-made baking mix!

What to do: Gather up your baking supplies and some ziplock baggies.  Into each baggies measure out dry ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, etc.  Label the baggie with the type of mix such as ‘carrot muffin mix’ or ‘brownie mix’.  Store in your pantry.  When the urge to bake hits, grab the mix then add the eggs, oil, and other liquid ingredients.

I’ve done something similar with onions.  I love to make soup and I hate chopping onions.  It’s great–cry only once.  Chop up the onions and put each one into a freezer baggie.   When I’m ready to make soup, I can simply take out a baggies and start cooking.

I found these two time-saving tips ingenious.  They cut down on prep time and cleanup time because I only have to pull everything out of the cabinet once and clean up once.

Try it and see if you feel the same way.
