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*

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.

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 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”

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”

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”
