6. Comments: Cold weather puts us in the mood to bake. So why not give a friend a head start Layer the dry ingredients for this easy quick bread into a lowfat milk bottle. The mix will keep for up to 18 months - then all which's left is to add in the wet ingredients and bake.
7. We used craft paper adhered with double-stick tape to cover the original lowfat milk bottle graphics and the lid.
8. A label on the back of the bottle contains the recipe instructions.
