Mason Jar Salads

I have always wanted to make these! I love my salad and this is a fun & new way to enjoy them! They are quick and a great salad for any occasion! 

What you need:

- Mason Jar/S

- lettuce

- spinach leaves

- any desired veggies

1. Clean your mason jars and make sure they are 100% dry before use! 

2. Pour in your choice of dressing 

    {We used a variety of dressings!}

3. Add your hardiest vegetable. This way your dressing doesn't soak up too much! 

{for example: peppers, broccoli, carrots}

4. Continue to layer your veggies and salad leaves

{tomatoes, olives, cucumber, horse radish etc...} 

5. When your jar has all the layers, seal tight and place in fridge.

6. When your ready to eat, shake & mix your salad from the bottom up

{add nuts for more flavour!}

Pour onto plate or eat straight from jar! 

Enjoy!!

First off: Whipped Flag Cake 

Here is what you need:

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter and cover base of pan with crumbs

2. Mix the melted butter with crumbs in pan and flatten ( use fork or parchment paper)

3. Once the base is done, cover with whipped cream

4. Begin layering your fruit

Done! Place into fridge for base to harden!
