It’s Sunday, which means food planning (mostly done on Friday), shopping, prepping and preparing. And I love it! I love everything about each aspect of my routine.

Wise words from my friend kept me on track
Repost: March 30, 2016
Just because you get one flat tire doesn’t mean you slash the other three tires. That’s what my friend Damali said to me a couple of months ago. Then on Monday this week, I heard them as I was debating making salads this week. My reasoning for not making the effort consisted of the following lame excuse: it’s already Monday and I’m not eating salad on Thursday/Friday this week (going out for good bye lunches, but that’s another story) so why bother.

Week 10 It’s a habit now
Repost: March 15, 2016
Have you heard the saying “Do something for 21 days ….” And it becomes a habit. After 10 weeks of Salad prep I am proud to say that making them has become a habit I love. I even tried to think up a new recipe this week, Veggie Goat Cheese and Chicken, you will see it pictured below.
Week 9 Sticking to my promise
Repost: March 8, 2016
As you can see, I’ve changed the title, mostly because I think posting blogs about just Mason Jar Salads will get a bit boring. But don’t worry, I’m still going to post the pictures and recipes, however I will try to find a fitting title each week.
Week 8 Mason Jar Salads
Repost: February 29, 2016
Week 8 started off kilter. Normally I reserve Sundays for meal prep and while I knew in advance that most of my day was going to be spent at a Women’s Rock Your Biz function, I was stumped come prep time. Luckily I had gone to the big box store on Saturday, so that left just a quick “outside” aisle shopping trip to the local grocery store. I say “outside”, because every time I can do the outside aisle of the grocery store, I do an a little inner fist pump.
Week 7 Mason Jar Salads
Repost: February 22, 2016
Week 7 is here and I can hardly believe it. While my oldest son and I made the salads, I mentioned that this is the 7th week of mason jar salads we’ve created. He was just as surprise as I was. Time has really flown by. I can honestly say that I have never, in my entire life eaten as much salad (vegetables) as I have during this part of my plan. *patting myself on the back*
After a long weekend
Repost: February 19, 2016
I admit, I was a bit worried when I got on the scale at tonight’s meeting. I mean, it was a long weekend, we traveled, ate out and visited family (6 hrs away). But at each lunch I would bring out a mason jar salad and at dinner … well, I would give it a really good effort. But come on, I discovered a new wine to add to my “big girl wine list”. It’s called Moscato (thanks Lina). Mmm. And the chips and dip while we played cards every night. *sigh* I love chips. Back to my weigh in, so here I was at WW, standing on the scale and I … lost. 1.5 lb. Woot! Continue reading “After a long weekend”
No fork, no problem
Repost: February 17, 2016
Just a quick check-in, it seems that I forgot my fork when packing my lunch today and only figured that out when I sat down to eat. I could have walked to the cafeteria to pick up a plastic fork, but I was working on a task and really didn’t have the time, so I improvised. It seems that you can eat a salad with a spoon. Continue reading “No fork, no problem”
Week 6 Mason Jar Salads
Repost: February 16, 2016
Week 6 is here and this week I let my boys each choose a favourite salad, with some slight modifications. This is an odd week, as you can see I’m posting this on Monday and not Sunday. Not because I forgot to post, but because we just got home from being away for the long weekend (Family Day). So, no shopping trip to Costco, but I did manage with the local grocery stores, which were open until 6pm today. I feel really good about today! Continue reading “Week 6 Mason Jar Salads”
Week 5 Mason Jar Salads
Repost: February 8, 2016
Week 5 is here and so are two new salads (we kept the Asian one with a bit of a twist). My family is looking forward to the Chicken Caesar with Kale. I’m up late today because it seems that my “plan” needs some tweaking. For the last month, I wake up Sunday morning, play Xbox (Elder Scrolls Online, ESO) with my husband and together we prepare lunch. At about 2ish, I start thinking of food preparation. This includes meal planning (dinners, breakfasts-on-the-go, mason jar salads and more), shopping (several stores) and finally, actual food preparation. Continue reading “Week 5 Mason Jar Salads”

Week 2 Mason Jar Salads
Repost: January 22, 2016
Thought I’d share the document I created last week for Katie and I to make our salads.
I’m a list type person and I found that having this document made it really easy to know what was going in the jar next. Continue reading “Week 2 Mason Jar Salads”
Week 1 Mason Jar Salads
Repost: January 21, 2016
There would be a picture of all three but the boys ate all the Asian Sesame (or so they thought, see below) Continue reading “Week 1 Mason Jar Salads”
