Use Two Smaller Pans When Baking

Many recipes call for a 9 x 13 inch pan. I began using two 9 x 9 inch pans instead. This results in getting more portions from a recipe while also requiring less oven baking time. I can serve the portions from one pan and place the other in my freezer for a later date.

Also, I can change the ingredients to fit preferences or needs. For instance, today I baked a cake divided between the two pans with pecans added to one pan and without pecans in the other. My 95-year-old mom-in-law is unable to chew pecans while my husband enjoys them.
