If you follow our Facebook page you may have seen a Facebook live I did today about Meal-in-a-Jars. I’m really loving this concept lately and so are a lot of people in our Group. If you didn’t see it here is the video. I’d highly recommend joining our group too as there are some great discussions happening over there daily.
And here is the promised recipe for the Chicken Tortellini Soup, modified from a similar recipe we posted over at Food Storage Made Easy.

Do you have your cute printouts that you use on your meal-in-a-jar? I tried to find them, but couldn’t locate them on your blog if you already shared. Thank you! Carrie

There is a link to the labels on most of the actual blog posts for each recipe!
Sandra Green says
How long will this meal keep in long term storage with the tortellini in it? The only info I have been able to find suggests 2 years max which I wouldn’t consider long term.
Jodi Weiss says
Using an oxygen absorber should extend the shelf life but you are never going to get 15-20 year shelf life out of the meals. At the most I plan for 4-5 yeaers!
