Mason Jar Salads

It's all the craze on Pinterest and my sister and I took the challenge this week.  We created our first round of mason jar salads.  It is so much easier than you would ever believe.  First we cut up the veggies we wanted in our salads:

We placed the dressing in the jars first.  Two tablespoons for 2 WW Point Plus.  Then we stacked the veggies in, putting the lettuce in last.  On top of the lettuce I placed cheese (2 WWP+) and crispy onions (1WWP+).  This is what they looked like after I got them finished.

I had one jar left over and had some left over peppers and onions so the next night I sautéed them up to place in the jar.  This jar wasn't as full as the other but I will heat up some rice and add some salsa to make some a little southwestern for my meal on Saturday.

Now when it comes time to eat these suckers my best advice is to shake them and get the dressing flowing throughout.  But them you should put them on a plate to serve and eat.  I tried to eat it out of the jar yesterday and it wasn't so great.  

Here's to a week of success in the kitchen and on the scale!

Crockpot Stuffed Peppers!

We tried something new...

CROCKPOT STUFFED PEPPERS!

You can't say they don't look amazing!  They tasted even better!

We stuffed them with:

1 pound ground turkey

4 ounces of fresh squash

1 can of drained corn

1 bag of whole grain rice

tomato sauce

We did put a little chicken broth around them but I don't think we will do that next time.  We pre-cooked the ground turkey before stuffing the peppers.  Crockpot set on low while at work!

They fell apart on the plate:
