No effin' whey!
Mason jar salads, parfaits, overnight oats, etc definitely add to the fun and visual appeal of meals. The idea is great for gatherings or even just for making"healthy" food more enticing to folks who are not so open to the idea, both young and old. I could see this being great for a kid's lunchbox or a summer picnic/barbecue. The only trouble for me is, they don't make Mason jars large enough to contain the volumes of salad I eat when the mood strikes, haha.

You're most welcome. And you're right. I was going to make cinnamon buns one times and was distracted so I left out some key ingredients in the dough. So I made savory buns instead. Gone and done that a few times actually. I'm easily distracted. lol

I agree! I think I will start doing that.Great idea to freeze using the ice cube tray!
I'm still suffering the effects of a stomach bug, so my food intake has been minimal at best. I've had a piece of toast with EB and half a baked potato. Boring, but not too hard on the tummy.

YES!
It's been a while since I popped on this thread 
I made this delicious quinoa & fava bean burgers today and we enjoyed them for dinner. I've been working on the recipe and this is finally the one!
The quinoa & fava beans are grown in the UK - I love the fact that they are grown in my own country cutting out all the food miles etc.
I made a nice salad to go with them and then a home made pouring tomato sauce.

Orange, banana with peanut butter, and an iced coffee with soy milk
Salad of mixed greens, almonds, walnuts, dried cranberries, red onion and shredded carrots topped with a balsamic vinaigrette
Tofu scramble...which I just love because you can pretty much put whatever you want in it and it always tastes great. Tonight's had roasted red peppers, scallions, garlic, fresh basil and parsley (thank you, Mom), tomatoes, green olives, nootch flakes and spices and topped with hot sauce. I also had toasted ciabatta bread and a side of green grapes and blueberries.
