Weekly Mason Jar Salad logo

It’s that time.  Time for a new Jar Salad to try!  I found this recipe on Pinterest and just had to try it as a jar salad. It’s so tasty and good.  Of course, I made this up for the week and enjoyed every bit of them!  If you are just starting with jar salads you may want to check out my mason jar salad tips and tricks.

Avocado Chicken Jar Salad

Avocado Chicken Jar Salad

I’ve suddenly grown to like avocados so this was a recipe I just had to try.  It’s also a lot easier to hide avocado in salads and get people to eat it.  My evil plan is working!

I used this recipe and layered the jars in this order.

  1. Make up your dressing and put 1/4 cup into the bottom of the jar.
  2. Dill
  3. Chives
  4. Corn
  5. Hard-boiled eggs
  6. Avocado
  7. Bacon
  8. Chicken
  9. Stuff it full of lettuce

Yes, I said stuff it full.  No matter what people tell you mason jar salads are not made for you to shake and eat out of the jar.  Stuffing it full with the lettuce keeps it fresh and you need it stuffed full.  Need more tips and tricks for mason jar salads check them out here.

That’s a wrap

Thanks again for joining me here today!  Hope you enjoy this salad and take it to some parties with you over the next few weeks.  Being prepped and ready helps so much during this season.  It’s easy to say no to other goodies when you bring an option you can enjoy and stay on plan with!  You can do it mama’s!

Another yummy and healthy Freezer meal for you today.  This one is coming at you from the new Trim Healthy Table Trim Healthy Mama (THM) cookbook.  I know I know but you don’t have the cookbook…well it’s time to get it but if not here is a similar recipe you can try online.  Sometimes the recipe doesn’t matter it’s just not having to think of a new recipe to try.  I have got you covered.

This recipe is in the Trim Healthy Table Cookbook on page 139.  If you do not have the cookbook this recipe will work well also. The Recipe went together really well.  I did cook the base “crust” layer until almost hard before putting the topping on top.  I like to really see the crust.  It’s wasn’t HARD but I mean fully cooked.  Then before the final baking, I let it cool and froze it.

When I’m ready to use it for dinner I will thaw and cook according to the directions.

Family Friendly Breakfast Egg Cups- THM S Quick and Easy

By

Freezer Meal logoI’ve talked about that morning rush before.  You know that one that happens every morning no matter how prepared or ready for it you are.  Yes, that one!  Well here is a great freezer option for those mornings.

I hate starting my family out with sugar-filled cereal that doesn’t keep them full past the bus ride.  I’m sure the teachers don’t appreciate that either!  These breakfast egg cups can be made in bulk and frozen.  Pull them out for a super easy breakfast that your family will LOVE!

I’m working on a full family-friendly Trim Healthy Mama (THM) menu and this is one of our favorite fast and easy breakfast options. My kids love to help make them also!

To make these I start by cracking a dozen eggs into a large bowl and mixing with 1/2-3/4 cup almond milk.  Really mix that around so it is all scrambled up.  Then I take a pouring cup and kind of ladle it into my silicone cupcake holders.  You can use any cupcake or muffin pan and can even make these in a 9×13 and just cut them into pieces.

After the egg is portioned out into my cups I add some meat like ham, bacon, sausage, etc.  Whatever I have on hand so it’s fast and easy.  You can also throw in some veggies if your family likes that.  I recommend peppers but spinach and other veggies are great too.  Top it off with some cheese or leave that off to keep your cheese intake down.  Either way they will taste amazing.

Bake at 350 for about 10-20 mins.  ENJOY!
