Breakfast In A Jar

Pictured: Peach Cobbler recipe

I am not a morning person.

I know, I know, you're not either...but I am really, really not a morning person.  When my kids are older and I have to rush them off to school in the mornings I honestly don't know what I'll do.  I have a deep appreciation for walking around in my pajamas for a while and waking up slow.

So breakfast in a jar has been revolutionizing my family's mornings.

Lately, I've been preparing breakfast for my whole family the night before in only 5 minutes!  It's cute, quick, healthy and another excuse to use adorable mason jars.  You make them, stick them in the fridge and overnight the ingredients get a chance to meld together into a lovely mix of textures.

I even use a mini-jar to make one for my one year old son, Cameron, who loves to eat whatever mom and dad are eating.

My favorite recipe so far is made with peaches!
