Are you on the Mason jar lunch bandwagon yet?
I'm not, but I really want to be. How fun are lunches in jars? Not to mention practical—they don't take up a lot of space in the refrigerator, and they won't get smashed or crushed if you throw them in your bag to take to work. Not only that, but you can clean the jars out and reuse them. No single-use wrapping here!
I always have a bunch of Mason jars on hand. They're so inexpensive to buy by the case! We use them for everything from beverage glasses to containers for leftovers, so CLEARLY I need to get on this Mason jar lunch business. A week's worth of lunches lined up in my refrigerator in neat little jars? I think I'm swooning.
As it turns out, Mason jars can hold all kinds of lunches beyond salad, from pastas, deconstructed sushi, and even pot pies. Yes, please!
