I have
a tote in my pantry that I call my Baking Box.
It holds and organizes all the little things I use to make cookies,
granola, cakes and cupcakes, pies, candy, breads, etc.
If I
didn’t have all these items contained then I’m sure I’d have quite a mess on a
shelf. Lots of opened and little
packages of stuff all cluttered and messing up my neatly organized pantry. I couldn’t handle that.
Some of
the items I keep in my baking box include:
·
Baking
chips
·
Baking
chocolate
·
Raisins
& dried fruit
·
Assorted
nuts
·
Powdered
sugar
·
Brown
sugar
·
Coconut
·
M&Ms
– for trail mix and cookies
·
Candy
bars – chop them up to put in homemade ice cream or cookies
·
Shortening
cubes
When I
am ready to bake it is easy to grab and have all these things available at
once. It also makes it more convenient
to take a quick inventory when I am making my shopping list.
At the
holidays it gets pretty full and heavy with items to make all kinds of
delicious treats. Sometimes I can hardly
get the lid on it.
Not
only does the bin help me keep everything contained and organized, but I also
think it helps to keep these items fresher longer too. I have really noticed that my brown sugar
stays nicer and doesn’t get hard.
How do
you corral your baking essentials?
