In the past six years of marriage Ted and I, just like any married couple in this economy, have struggled to make ends meet with a teacher's salary. So one of the things that we do to cut back on lunches is to eat peanut butter sandwiches for anywhere to one to two weeks at a time. Now that the holidays are here and Ted and I have been spending way more money than we normal spend, with presents, trees, pictures, cards, lights, parties, etc., the budget for this week's cake was cut extremely down. We had enough for me to buy one cheap item. To give you an idea I normally by anywhere between two to three new items for my cake every single week. The only cake that we had every ingredient for except one item, was Orange Peanut Butter cake- how perfect for us!
All we had to buy was an orange. Besides and orange, the cake called for orange juice, peanut butter, vanilla, sugar, flour, eggs, butter, baking powder, and powdered sugar.
Next week when we get paid again, I will make a more holiday-like cake- but for now, The Children are very happy eating their peanut butter cake bars.
Here is the book's picture:
Here is my cake:
See you next week with even more Christmas cheer!
