What about mason jars are you wondering? Well, the reason this is about mason jars is because mason jars can help you eat healthier! One of the easiest ways to start eating healthier is to start making double or triple batches of anything you prepare. This way you will make the recipe only once but have enough for weeks to come. Mason jars come in reallly handy for this because they are great for storing and freezing leftovers, broths, chili, soups, spaghetti sauce or whatever you decide to prepare. They come in many sizes and can easily be found at your local hardware store. I do suggest looking for wide mouth mason jars as they tend to work better for freezing. Make sure you don’t fill it all the way to the top to leave space for expansion. Having meals prepared and stored in your freezer can cut down on a lot of stress and headaches when you don’t have time to make a healthy meal or you know your week is going to be hectic. The only thing is you do have to plan ahead to make sure you have your freezer stocked. I do this 1-2 times per month where I just make a bunch of meals all in one day and fill up my mason jars. That way I only get the kitchen dirty once and have all my meals done in one day for the next few weeks!
