Meals in a Mason jar

Are you stumped on what meals to make in advance this week? Try making one of these fabulous (and easy!) recipes. Not only do the containers create perfect portioning, but they take up little room in the fridge! It's a great way to offer choices to your family as well, since every member can put their own ingredients in their jar. 

Once you are familiar with what kinds of meals are possible, create your own combinations with your family favourites. They make great gifts too!
