Hey guys! I just wanted to do a quick post about re-purposing old bottles and containers. I find that when I make homemade syrup, or ranch or such, I needed bottles to put them in. So lately, my go to bottle is old honey containers. I just run them through the dishwasher and they work great! In the picture above, you can see that I have used an old honey bottle (on the right) to store our extra syrup in the fridge. We just microwave it and viola, yummy warm syrup! On the left is an old glass blueberry juice jar I got from a health food store when I was trying to find juice I could tolerate. Well, I canned some pears in the summer. So I just pour the pear juice from the cans into the old jar and I have wanna-be juice. It is great. The container in the middle is actually a squirt bottle I got from Walmart. I think it cost me about $2. I use it for storing my homemade ranch. And I love that it has a cute little lid too. It can also be thrown in the dishwasher.
I also use that same ranch container for pancake batter. I have two boys and our oldest is only two. So I try to do what I can to get him to eat. So with the small spout, I pour the pancake batter in and I can make fun shapes like the ones to the left of this picture. My oldest is really into dragons right now, so I had to make him a cute one this morning. And of course, being a mom, I think I have the cutest boys ever, so I put a fun picture of them eating pancakes for you too. Oh, and just a shout out for my recipes, this is the "Healthy and Delicious Pancake" recipe.
Anyway, I just wanted to encourage you guys to think about reusing old containers. It makes life a whole bunch easier when it comes to making everything from scratch. So the next time you want to throw out an old condiment container, hopefully you will give it a second thought :)
