While walking him I was pulled forward on the cement when the dog saw a squirrel. I landed on both knees and this caused my kneecaps to be pushed out from their natural center position. About 4 years later, I had arthroscopy to re-align my right knee cap. The problem...

When it comes to making meals ahead of time (especially lunches), I love to make mason jar salads! These salads can be incredibly versatile (more videos on different kinds of mason jar salads to come), and they are simple to put together.
