I love a good “food in a mason jar” idea and I know I’m not alone on this. There’s just something about a mason jar recipe that almost feels like it’s equal parts cooking and organizing. It really is a type of organizing when you prep your food in mason jars the day before to take with you to work, school, or wherever you may be heading, isn’t it? Mason jar recipes aren’t just good for the lunch box though, they can help make a plain-jane dessert feel extra special for entertaining, they can be the perfect motivator for your healthy eating efforts, and they can even help convince your kids to finally eat real food for dinner! It seems like no matter what type of eating scenario you have on your hands, it can be made just a little bit better by the perfect mason jar recipe. Below are a few of my favorite ideas to get you started if you have yet to try your hand at mason jar cookery!
