Mason Jar Salad
Today I decided to make Mason Jar Salads. The idea is simple put all the ingredients of salad in a jar for easy and quick meals. First, the dressing went on the bottom, then vegetables and finally lettuce. I used two types of dressing and picked my favorite healthy salad toppings. I also used a lot of spinach versus lettuce. Overall, I made eight jars and figure I spent about ten dollars on ingredients. It will be interesting to see how long these will last. I hope it works out for me and am already excited thinking about how the ingredients can change as the season progresses and I can include fresh ingredients from the garden.

Quick Update
I know it's been awhile. I have the best intentions to update my blog often, but that never seems to happen. Midterms are over and were a success. For the two weeks where I had eight papers due, I basically became a hermit. Now since that is over, I am back to the routine of things. I have about another month before this semester is over. I can't believe I am almost done with my first semester of my master's program. Only three more and I graduate. I don't think April 2013 can come soon enough.
My internship is going GREAT. It is so much better than I would have ever anticipated. I love the people I work with. both the clients and the staff. Last night, the agency celebrated it's 5 year anniversary. In the 5 years, they have served about 625 people, and that doesn't include the 56 people that are currently residents. Of those people, 74% successful move from our agency to a home of their own. The mayor was there last night and said:
“In order to serve the chronically homeless in our region, we need three Drexel Houses"
“This facility is the best example of federal, state and local collaboration that we have in the entire region"
You can read the entire story that was published in the Olympian here.
Besides that, things are about the same I guess. Oh, I am still tutoring at Sylvan Learning Center and just picked up more hours which is exiting. It's so fun to work with the kids. Plus, my friend hired me to work at Portrait People at South Center Mall. It's nice because she is working around my schedule but kind of sucks because it is a heck of a comute. But, it is nice to get a little extra money here and there. So, as you probably guess, right now, my life is consumed by school, my internship and work.
I will try really hard to post more and hopefully I really will this time!
