Healthy Lunches - The Mason Jar Way

New Year, New You - right? Well, we've gone healthy and are finally getting our use out of the Y membership, we've subscribed to Hello Fresh (more on this after we receive our first package), and I'm pre-making healthy lunches so I have no excuse.

I have to admit, I haven't had one of these yet. My daughter ate them all! The recipe calls for Edamame, however Edamame upsets my stomach so I replaced with peas.

This is my favorite! I love the dressing - Just a time the recipe is for 1 jar, I quadrupled so I could make 4. The recipe website's picture is better, but mine tasted great!











Chickpea Farro & Greens - Recipe can be found here - http://cookieandkate.com/2014/mason-jar-chickpea-farro-and-greens-salad/

This is a great salad and I love the dressing. I used Balsamic vinegar because I was out of Red Wine, but that is what is great about the Mason Jar way, you can tweak it to suit your taste.






New this week - I'll let you know how it tastes! What I love is I can add things I like and remove things I don't.

I didn't have mango, so I used strawberries.  I also used shredded chicken which I poached instead of black beans. I love black beans but my daughters don't.
