How To Use Mason Jars

Well, not actual Mason jars because we don't have them here in the Netherlands. I used some basic food container-jars but they work just as well, even though they're not as cute as the official Mason ones. I wanted to share 3 of my favorite ways of using your jars with you because it's a cheap solution for all your problems!

 Use your jar as a cute little vase to display cute little flowers, like I did here. :-)

You can drink from your jar if you're really thirsty. Add some lemons, cucumber slices or strawberries to make the drink summer-proof (even though it's still winter), stick a straw in the drink and you're ready to go (even though you're not leaving, I should really think about my sentences a little bit more).

You can use it as a bowl. It's not really practical but you could search for a smaller jar with a wider opening, for example. Add some fruit and it looks extra cute.

There are many more ways to use your jars. You can use it as a candle holder, storage bowl and many more options (I can't think of more right now). I hope you liked these options!

Good Food

I don't like quick meals and when I have enough time on my hands, I like preparing big dinner. Today's lunch was easy, semi-quick and healthy and I wanted to share it with you.

The few ingredients I used. I changed the ingredients a bit afterwards: I distracted one onion, I added one egg, and I let away the minneola. I also added a miniscule amount of cheese to the eggs to make it more 'juicy'.

First thing I do (always) is chop up all the ingredients and put them in small bowls. This makes the division more clear and this helps me cleaning up the mess afterwards. I chopped up the banana and pear and added a few grapes to the small fruit salads, I cut some chease and stirred the eggs.

This is how I like my omelets. I bake the eggs and add the onions when the egg is getting solid. I add a super small amount of cheese when I'm almost about to serve which adds some extra flavour and makes the egg less tough.

I hope you liked this sneak peek into my lunch. It wasn't an extremely special lunch but it's delicious and easy to reproduce. I drank a green smoothie I made this morning: I'll share the recipe for this one in the near future.

Have a lovely day! - Sjoukje
