Brownie Mix

I do love sweets and my kids do too. But sometimes I just don't have the time to make them, so I find a way to have everything ready in my pantry just like those boxes of Brownie mix that they sell on the store where you just add eggs, oil, etc and they are ready to bake. Here is the DIY version

Ingredients:
1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Flour
1/3 Cup Cocoa
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder

Mix all these ingredients together with a whisk and dump them into a zipper bag.  On the bag, add the following instructions:

Add:  2 Eggs, 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil, 1 teaspoon Vanilla.  Bake @ 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. 

Very easy huh? and you save some money ;-)


Glass Cleaner

Here is and easy one. Some times your popular Glass cleaner can be a bit pricy, even the store brand would look a lot more expensive once I tell you how easy is to make your own.
All you need is rubbing alcohol and water. Yes, that is right. Just those 2 things. And you just need 10% rubbing alcohol 90% water, so you can prepare as much as you want and it cost WAY LESS that any other brand and it works just the same as those expensive ones.
