Meals In A Jar -- Salad In A Jar

[Mini Mia]

Okay. I came across this on YouTube, and it's blowing my mind. I wish I had had some stored for when I was without power for 15 days. Anyhoo, for the 'meals in a jar,' you put dehydrated foods in the jar and just add boiling water when you're ready to fix it.

Can't do that with the 'salad in a jar' though, as it's fresh food. But it's supposed to last up to 5 days, so that might be cool.

Thought I'd give it it's own thread in case it becomes a hot topic, and interesting ideas start flowing.

Just do a search on YouTube for:

There are cookbooks out there as well, so can also do searches on Google, and bookstores.

I had something similar years ago - a couple of 'in a jar' books - "Cookies in a Jar", and "Soups in a Jar" I believe. They were from one of those school fundraiser things the kids had to do when they were younger, and I felt obligated to buy something since I generally did not take them out to door-to-door peddle their fundraising wares. I think I only used both books once - the idea was to layer the dry ingredients oh-so-prettily in a mason jar and include a recipe card from the book and give them as gifts. Apparently other mother's got suckered into buying these books too, because I got more jars full of layered ingredients that year as gifts than I gave.

I used them even less than I did the books.

I've heard of meals in a jar. Of course, they were mason jars and had home made jelly, pears, peaches, or cherries, but I made a meal out of them!

Most of the "Meals in a Jar" videos on YouTube are for storing dry foods for when you lose lights, or go camping, etc. They might even be something to hand out for those who are suffering from natural disasters. That'd be a great idea to donate those along with canned goods.

I really should make a few of these to have in place for when/if I lose electricity. I'd only need to boil water.
