    About this ebook

    Our readers say it best: "great ideas for on the go breakfast and lunch. Easy to follow, simple recipes, with ingredients you probably have". "If you are struggling, as I was, to get more fruits and veggies into your diet, this makes it so simple"

    Amy Fazio’s second book, The Mason Jar Cookbook, shows the versatility and convenience of creating dishes in the mason jar. No longer just for jellies and jam, mason jars are now being filled in the most creative and often super healthy ways, such as salads and casseroles. The easy-to-follow recipes in this book will show you how to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner in a mason jar. Oh, and dessert! Can’t forget dessert.

    Some of the recipes included in the book are:

    Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
    Creamy Polenta with Bacon and Eggs
    Spicy Watermelon and Cotija Salad
    Roasted Butternut Squash and Kale Salad with Pepitas
    Mexican Caesar Salad with greek yogurt dressing
    Lazy Lasagna
    Campers Sangria
    Pie in a Jar

    The Mason Jar Cookbook will feature, in beautiful full-color photos, over 100 ways to create, carry, and consume food in the mason jar. Many of the recipes will include tips on serving and storage. Several will also include notes on substituting ingredients to include seasonal fruits and vegetables.

    Beautiful, convenient, easy, versatile and just plain cool. Just some of the many reasons why everyone should have mason jars in their life.

      Mason Jar Lady

      I arrived fashionably late to the mason jar party. As you may or may not know, I was traveling on the muffin pan bandwagon for many years. I even wrote a cookbook about it: Do You Know the Muffin Pan? I was the muffin pan lady for a long time, and that suited me. While muffin pans were my first love, when presented with the opportunity to learn about another out-of-the-box cooking tool, I was all for it.

      Turns out, mason jars are also totally my thing. See, I have always loved anything self-contained. As a kid I loved kits. Any kind of kit! Art kits, makeup kits, stamp kits, DIY kits, even emergency kits. Everything you need for that task in one cute little box. As I got older, I started to make my own kits. I made traveling kits for my friends studying abroad, college dorm kits, thirtieth birthday kits, etc. Ask my sister—she receives a DIY kit every Christmas for our Christmas Crafternoon! It’s her favorite thing in the world, I’m pretty sure. Maybe that’s why I took to the mason jar so well. They are basically self-contained food kits. Everything you could need for breakfast, lunch, or picnics can be packed into a mason jar. The possibilities are endless.

      Just like with the muffin pan cookbook, I searched in old cookbooks, menus, and on the glorious Internet to find inspiration for how to use the mason jar for cooking and eating. I had only scratched the surface of just how big mason jars were! I wasn’t getting married, so I didn’t search for mason jar centerpieces or table numbers. I wasn’t a homeowner, so I didn’t need to make mason jar lamps or soap dispensers. And with school and work and life, I certainly wasn’t in the right state of mind to be thinking about turning mason jars into Halloween decorations. But now? Oh yeah, I’m considering it all!

      I’d like you to think of this cookbook as your own personal mason jar kit. Everything you’ll need to explore and master the art of mason jars meals is in this cute little book. So, head out to your local grocery store, super store, or hardware store and pick up a mason jar or two . . . or eighty-seven. (Guilty!)

      It’s going to be Ah-Mason!

      I hope you have a Ball!

      It is o-Kerr-ing to me that this is getting out of hand.

      All right, all right, I’m done.

      Enjoy!

      Amy
