Meals In A Jar Recipe Book Review

June 9, 2013 by Momstart 1 Comment

A Fantastic way to make home made gifts. Pull it off the shelf. Mix with water. Give Cook. Serve.
Is dinner an issue every night where you spend half an hour just deciding what to cook, then you have to get everything out, measure it and cook it? Well using this book can save you some of the time because once you decide just grab the pre-made jar and cook!

imageOr make up a whole bunch of jars and you have Christmas in the jar. I love how quick and easy the directions are, each one is as easy as preparing a box of mac and cheese. Good news is: it’s not store-bought junk, it’s your favorite dishes made from scratch. With Meals in a Jar and a little planning, you’ll have your pantry stocked with healthy, delicious ready-to-cook meals, like:
• Tomato Soup with Cheese
• Cheddar Garlic Biscuits
• Cornmeal Pancakes with Syrup
• Breakfast Burritos
• Chicken Chipotle Soup
• Carnitas
• Braised Short Ribs
• Turkey Pot Pie
• Coq Au Vin
• Rustic Fruit Pie


Meals in a Jar is packed with step-by-step instructions for natural breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts that allow even the most inexperienced chefs to make scrumptious, nutritious dishes. Not only are the recipes in this book perfect for carry-along camping fare, rushed weeknight dinners and meals for Dad (or even a teenager) to prepare, they can also be life-savers in times of disasters like fires, blackouts or hurricanes.

Chocolate Marshmallow Muffins Recipe

December 6, 2011 by Momstart 10 Comments

This recipe is actually a baking fail in my opinion. I found this recipe in the Entenmann’s Big Book of Baking recipe book and thought let’s give it a go. The first recipe we tried out of this book was an amazing recipe and well received by everyone. This one however, not so much. However, I’d love to know your opinion on it.

I used vanilla marshmallows

I mixed the dry ingredients together first
