Pizza Masonable

Here is a #Masonable for the kid in everyone. The Pizza Masonable! This jar is just assembly really. Buy your favorite pizza ingredients and pack them to go. Now this jar looks a little empty. It just did not fit in a half pint jar. It was close but just didn't make it. So I used a pint jar. So there is room in that jar for more pizza toppings. Maybe veggies, olives or Canadian bacon anyone? Just load it up. Just between us once you assemble you little pizza you can heat it in the microwave until the cheese melts. YUM! Hot or cold these little pizzas are a great snack or lunch.

Shrimp Cocktail Masonable

Here it comes another #Masonable idea! This might be my favorite so far. The idea for this Masonable came from dear sister. Mom, sis and I were enjoying some boiled crawfish at home. She asked if I had a little disposable cup for cocktail sauce. I said I have those fruit cups? She grabbed three and brought cocktail sauce to each of us. That is when it hit me, wouldn't a shrimp cocktail make an awesome lunch. So guess what I made the very next day. The Shrimp Cocktail Masonable! So easy! Think about this! You could make a ton of these and put them in a bowl of ice for an outdoor party. Such an easy make ahead summer party appetizer. With or without crackers this would make great party food. You could use any number of dipping sauces too. Try Deckhand Sauce or Piri Piri Sauce or Kickin' Po Boy Sauce or even Thai Style Peanut Dipping Sauce. So many possibilities. I think I need more shrimp.

Masonables

I think we already discussed that an empty Fruit Cup + Mason Jar = delicious snacks and lunches! And even breakfast or dessert! Well now introducing the Masonable! It is the Mason Jar equivalent to a Lunchable. Check this out those fruit cups fit on top of a wide mouth Mason jar too. Now you can pack your crackers on top of your Tuna Salad, Chicken Salad, Egg Salad, or Deli Meat and Cheese. You can make your own Mason jar lunchable or a Masonable.

You might ask why not just put your crackers in a food storage bag? Well they could easily be crushed by a heavy soda can or bottle of water in your lunch bag. With the mason jar and fruit cup they have their own protective bubble. The crackers arrive to your lunch destination in their original shape. Doesn't that make meal prep a little exciting? 

Well when I started thinking about lunches that included crackers, the first lunch that came to mind was tuna salad. So that is what I did first. It worked perfectly! I used our family recipe but you could use any recipe you like. Just fill the jar, top with the lid, stack up round crackers you love, cover with an inverted fruit cup and the ring. You are ready to go. So easy!

Tuna Salad Masonable
Serves 1

Supplies

1 wide mouth half pint Mason jar
1 empty fruit cup

Ingredients

8 round crackers
1 cup Tuna Salad

Directions

Fill mason jar with tuna salad. Place lid on top of jar. Stack crackers on lid. Place fruit cup inverted on top of crackers and lid. Add mason jar ring to secure everything in place. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Guess what! You can use two fruit cups with each mason jar. One inside the jar and one on top. The ring still secures the jar. Now you can pack crackers and a sauce. Think about what that could do for Mason Jar Salads? You can have your salad, dressing and crackers or croutons too! Am I too excited? I might be. Anyway...

Many, many years ago when Lunchables first came out, dear sister's favorite was one that came with a little packet of herb mayo. They do not sell anything like that today and she still mentions it now and then. So when I was thinking about making these Masonables I wanted to include one with a sauce. So here it is a Ham & Cheese Masonable with a Dill Mayo. This mayo is delicious with ham and cheese. The dill and mustard makes it zesty. It is also great with turkey and cheese too.

Place fruit cup inverted on top of crackers and lid. Add mason jar ring to secure everything in place. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

I hope this meal prep idea will help you with your future lunches. Don't forget to pack a fruit cup too! You need more empties to make more Masonables. And watch out for more Masonables in the future. I have at least four more ideas to try out.
