Lunches are Made!!

Tomorrow I head back to work.  I really need to focus on making good food choices.  Sometimes I get so busy that I just grab something quick, easy, and shitty for me!  I am going to work hard to not do that.  I am going to work hard to make time to prep foods.  I set aside some time today to make these mason jar salads. They are supposed to last up to a week. I found some tips on pinterest about how to layer them to keep the ingredients from getting soggy.  Here they are:

Layer 1: dressing
Layer 2: hearty veggies like cucumbers, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli...
Layer 3: beans and less hearty veggies
Layer 4: grains ( I didn't use any this week, but I will)
Layer 4: proteins and cheese
Layer 5: lettuce, nuts, seeds

Here is what I made from left to right...fyi...I don't tomatoes, onions, and peppers


1. poppy seed dressing, cucumbers, cauliflower, chicken, cranberries, spinach
2. ranch dressing, corn, tri-bean mix, chicken, shredded cheese, iceberg lettuce
3. oil and peach basalmic dressing, cucumbers,  crab meat, goat cheese, strawberries, spinach
4. ranch dressing, cucumbers, chicken, ham, turkey bacon, eggs, iceberg lettuce
5. poppy seed dressing, carrots, cauliflower, chicken, shredded cheese, spinach
