I always make my breakfast at work in a jar! Those measurements on the outside of the jar come in pretty handy. I always make oatmeal with ground flax and fruit (fresh when in season, otherwise some preserves-jalapeno apricot is a favorite) in a mason jar. I also make my own yogurt and store it in the cutest little Weck jars–and sometimes I’ll bring yogurt to work, too.

I make something similar: Granola with greek yogurt and whatever fruit happens to be around. I’m going to try it with jam next instead of the occasional drizzle of honey, that is a great idea! I bring it in a screw-top ziplock container — until now.

your site is great, thanks for writing it!

First visit here & I’m loving it!!!! I just started canning last year and just picked a flat of strawberrries this morning to start off this new canning year. I work from home so breakfast varies from day to day, but I had to smile about the clink of the glass on the desk. I use my jars for everything now. I usually take snacks with us for my boys when we’re out and about and I always pour things in the jars and toss them in the van or my bag. I love it and there is no waste, plus my little guys can just hold the jars themselves and dig in those wide-mouth openings without a mess. I love ‘em!

Irish oatmeal cooked with honey and cinnamon, plus frozen blueberries or cherries (frozen over from the summer — I keep reminding myself of that oatmeal when I’m slogging away in my kitchen now).

And I work from home, so no container needed!

I love breakfast but never have no time to eat in the morning:( It seems as though I run a 3 ring circus in the morning. With kids crying and playing around, roosters crowing, dogs barking . . . I don’t seem to have time for myself and before I know it I pack up the kids and I’m off to work without eating. This is a fantastic idea. I too have bunches of jars and jam, I can do this.

Thanks

Thanks for posting this!!! I was dubious about eating raw oats, but it’s delicious and super filling. I’ve got a new breakfast for my repertoire!

My breakfasts are seasonal. I always eat breakfast at my desk (if I eat breakfast at home, I’ll be hungry again long before lunch) and I keep a stash of breakfast fixings there. In the winter, I make oatmeal. In the summer, I keep a bag of granola (homemade whenever I’m sufficiently motivated) and some yogurt. Sometimes I’ll do bagels or muffins for a change.

Your picture looks a lot like my granola breakfasts – but much prettier with its jar!
