You look on Pinterest and see all these cute ideas on how to decorate your home and organize every aspect of your life. You might try a few and get great results, I sure have. Yet sometimes, you might try those amazing looking cupcakes only to fail miserably. They probably still taste good but are not Instagram friendly. I've had a few of those lately as well. Just because I am a blogger, it does not exclude me from human failure. My home still get's disorganized and is not picture friendly at all times. While meal planning, I always look on Pinterest for some budget friendly vegetarian recipes to try out. I have found a few favorites and some dishes I will never make again. One neat idea I found was mason jar salads. While I have not ventured into the mason jar world, I loved the idea. I bought a few containers from the dollar store, adorned them with some chalk labels, filled them with an amazing salad for me to eat for the next three days. Simple enough right? It was a complete fail! I'll go into more detail as to how I failed miserably at something that seemed so straightforward.
I found this pin that shows a few different mason jar salads. After getting a rough idea of how it works and getting different salad ideas, I headed to the dollar store and bought three salad containers and a separate round container for the Hubby to take to work. When I got home, I placed some Chalkboard Labels on each one and dated each one for the next three days. I then began making my chickpea salad and dividing it between the three containers. Then I placed the rice, beans, lettuce, ext topping it off till one inch below the rim. I did this so when I shake the dressing around the inside, it leaves enough wiggle room for everything to move. Then when I went to place the cap on top.... they wouldn't close. They wouldn't "clip" on or anything. Why make containers with caps if the caps won't close?? That just doesn't make any sense to me! So we had to eat all three salads that day since I had no way of closing the damn things.
So that was my big fail within the past few weeks. I did do a few good things with the labels though. The first thing I did was label my plants in the kitchen. That was one of the first things I wanted to do. Just look at how big these things have gotten! I need to transplant that tomato plant outside because it is too large to keep inside. The basil is growing fantastically, and the Jalapeno has started growing fruit already. I decided to start growing more jalapenos and some strawberries as well.
Another project I did with the chalkboard labels was use them on these containers. We had these containers on the counter, but they take so much space, so we bought a shelf to put them on. Much better. But I couldn't see which was which since I am short, so the labels are really helpful when I am busy in the kitchen.
