School is back in session which means that work is back in session for me. I love my job as a school counselor, but I often find that it is challenging to have a healthy lunch. If it is left up to me I am lucky to throw together a sandwich the night before. I just spend so much time taking care of the boys that I often forget that I need a lunch for the next day as well.
So, when I was introduced to the concept of the Mason Jar Salad I was in love at first sight. I actually first saw one in a co-workers lunch box. She has an amazing husband who is a chef who thinks up these great ideas. Once I saw hers I immediately wanted to start packing my own beautiful salads but was nervous about how to pack it and what to put in it. I need good salads, people!
With all of that said, I am loving the Mason Jar Salads and More book by Julia Mirabella. Not only does it have beautiful illustrations of the salads, but it gives you step by step instructions on how to pack and store them. There are so many great ideas crammed into this little paperback book. I’m excited to try them all!
You can pick up Mason Jar Salads and More for about $13 on Amazon.
