Why settle for preservative-packed frozen dinners, freeze-dried backpacking food, and military ready-to-eat meals when a healthier and tastier option can easily be stored in the pantry? Meals in a Jar provides the step-by-step, detailed instructions needed to create all-natural breakfast, lunch, and dinner options that you can keep on a shelf and enjoy at any time. Includes all-in-one meals, such as:

• Creamy tomato soup
• Artisan bread
• Lemon chicken piccata
• Chocolate cake

These scrumptious recipes allow even the most inexperienced chefs to serve gourmet dishes. Not only are these meals perfect for everyday events like camping trips, after-school study sessions, and rushed evenings, but they can also be lifesavers in times of disasters like fires, blackouts, or hurricanes. Perfect for the modern jarring and canning generation, this book proves that just because food is easy-to-store and long-lasting doesn't mean it can't be delicious and nutritious.
