I love mason jars probably because they are so versatile. They can be used for lighting, drinks and fresh cut flowers. My favorite use is to drink out of them. I like to give them as gifts filled with goodies too. Do you have a good use for a mason jar?

Strawberry Parfait in a mason jar...

As you can see I have found yet another use for a mason jar. This weekend I whipped up these strawberry parfaits they are layered with cut up strawberries, angel food cake and whipped cream. The whip cream recipe I got from the latest issue of Martha Stewart, Martha used it in her Pound Cake with peaches and cream.

Whipped Cream Recipe:

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup cold heavy cream

all you do is whip it until creamy with a hand mixer. My Grandma use to whip her whip cream by hand, I have no idea how she did I tried and then ended up pulling out the mixer.

Enjoy!

I {heart} Mason Jars!

I love the simplicity of mason jars and filling them with goodies. For Valentine's Day I filled a jar for each of us with our favorite candy and sadly mine is empty :( It is so hard to eat just a few peanut M & M's. I found these pint size cuties at Target.

So tell me what are you favorite type of M & M's peanut or plain? Or maybe one of their new varieties?
