Recycling project

Yesterday I decided to throw together a quick gift using an old peanut butter jar. Yes, I buy the cheap generic peanut butter. I'm not choosy so I don't choose Jif.

I filled the jar with 1 2 3 cake mix. Made a label using the print and cut feature on my cricut and then applied it to the jar along with a direction label.

I also purchased a cheap set of measuring spoons. I only needed the tablespoon one so I took the ring from the set and glued it to the lid to hang the measuring spoon from. 

Then I finished off the gift with these ramekin dishes I found at Dollar Tree. They are the perfect size for making the cake. I had tried to use ones that I already had but they were a little too small. You can also just make this in a coffee cup.

If you've never heard of 1 2 3 cake, it's an angel food cake mix (must be the kind that only has one bag in the mix. If it has 2 bags it won't work) and one other kind of cake any kind. You mix the two together and store in an airtight container. To make it you mix 3 Tbs of the cake mix, 2 Tbs of water and microwave for 1 minute. Sometimes I add some chocolate chips or a little bit of peanut butter. It's a quick little dessert.
