Pre-Made Mason Jar Recipes

I thought I would share something with you that’s really popular right now on Pinterest with pre-made mason jar recipes that are the perfect way to pack lunches for school or work. They’re everywhere!

Have your kids started back-to-school yet? I know in some areas of the country most kids started last week.  Here in our corner of the world, school starts next week. Our son leaves for college this week and my hubby starts with the ROTC cadets at the end of the month.

If you’ve been following my blog for any amount of time, then  you know that I love mason jars.  I have for years and I love to blog about them and share great ideas using mason jars.I really do use them for a lot of my pantry storage here at home AND I use mason jars to pack snacks for myself when I’m out and about during the week.  Some of my favorite snacks to pack are grapes or sliced cucumbers.

Back-to-School Lunch Ideas

I put together a great list of ideas on how to use mason jars for back-to-school lunches or even to make pre-made meals for you to take to work. Most of the time these recipes work great with keeping the dry ingredients separate from the wet or having layered salads with the dressing on the bottom of the jar.

Of course I would NOT use glass jars to pack lunches for younger children.  These ideas are great for older school-aged children.  And you know your child, some of these ideas might not even work for a teenager in high school.  Use your best judgment, please, and check with the school your child attends.  They may not allow glass containers.
