Recipe Round-Up: Meals in Mason Jars
Mason jars have long been used for canning and preserving. In recent years, uses for these classic (and American invented) glass jars include soup recipe exchanges, cookie recipe gifting and, our favorite, all-in-one easy meal planning. Using mason jars to prepare and store meals has several advantages.
10 Reasons We Advocate Mason Jars
1. They’re inexpensive
2. Made with glass (BPA FREE!)
3. Sturdy and re-usable
4. Double as drinking glasses
5. Stain-resistant
6. Clear (never the scary mystery container in the refrigerator)
7. Easy to stack and easy to transport
8. Can help to control your portions
9. Microwave and dishwasher safe
10. Lids and jars can be purchased separately (and easily replaced when you have the piece with no mate… a common tupperware frustration)
