Last night while cutting up celery for dinner I thought I would go ahead and cut up some for a snack since I’ll be out of the house doing Navy Reserve work for the next couple of days.  After cutting it up I wished I had an easy way to pack some peanut butter with the celery and then realized that one of my peanut butter containers was almost empty.  I then had a stroke of genius about how to combine this classic combination of celery and peanut butter.

How about just sticking the celery into the almost empty peanut butter container?  Genius!  And talk about reducing and reusing!  Just be sure to cut the celery to the same height as the peanut butter container so it fits inside.

It’s now going to be so easy to throw this one container in my bag and scoop the peanut butter out with the celery during snack time.  And because I’m addicted to sugar, I also added a few chocolate chips to the container.  Yum!

Pretty sure I’m going to thoroughly enjoy this and will feel so proud of myself for thinking of it.  I’m sure it’s been done before, but I think it’s just so smart.  What clever ways have you used empty containers around your kitchen?  Or do you have some other really cool trick? If so, share it in the comments below.

Happy Thursday everyone, and be sure to come back on Monday because I’ll be hosting my first ever giveaway!  How does a little extra cash to a trio of stores with awesome home and celebratory gear sound?  I hope you come back to enter the drawing and I’ll be crossing my fingers that you win!
