Behold, I have made the foods!
Take yer salad to work jars! Saw it on one of those afternoon talk shows and thought I'd give it a try. From bottom to top we have peas and corn (prepared from those frozen microwaveable bags, allowed to cool before putting in the jars), black beans from a can mixed with some fresh blueberries, a bit of chopped red onion, grated carrot, and romaine lettuce. Took me about 30 minutes to prepare, nice and easy to nab one to take for lunch in the morning. On TV they included the dressing on the bottom, but I've got a bottle I keep at work. Did this last week, too, and layering like this with the heavier stuff at the bottom did seem to keep everything fresh. I also have a bowl at work I can dump everything into, main drawback is it takes a lot more chewing than my usual PB & J or microwave meal, and work is often short on chewing time!
