It is easy for the kids to eat healthy lunches. They don't usually fix the meals and can't reach the chips! For those of us in control and in a hurry (and in the know about where the dark chocolate is hidden), lunch is not always the best meal in our day. So one day when pinteresting, I was taken with the beautiful and healthful looking Mason jar salads. Here is how that is going for us:
Annalise especially likes to help prepare the jars - so I let her!

To assemble the salads, you build the salad upside down - crunchy veggies on the bottom, then proteins and cheese, then fill the top with lettuce. Some people put dressing at the bottom, but as we are eating them at home, this is not necessary. The result:

I usually eat what the children eat, so Rob eats most of these and he has really liked them. They are big enough to make a modest side salad to serve with a meal too (for all of us). With Annalise's eager help, it is not much work to put them together, and hopefully we can keep this up!
