I volunteer with a church youth group. We made these awesome lanterns for Girls Camp for the first time a couple of years ago and now it’s a yearly tradition!
.
We had friends and family donate jars. We have found that we like them best without the embossing – mayo jars and spaghetti sauce jars work really well! We use a Cricut® to cut shapes out of contact paper. The youth are able to choose their own designs – but we found that having some already cut out is a good idea! Some kids chose to free-hand their ideas on the contact paper (they’re so creative!) and cut them out with scissors.
.
Once their shapes are cut out, they can position them however they want on their jar.
.
Then we sprayed the jars with glass frosting and crafted wire handles for them. We put tea lights in each of them and they look amazing. We prefer the tea lights that look like they are flickering. This is a photo of them hanging from our canopy!

One of our favorite “freezer meals” is just a batch or two of muffins. Muffins freeze GREAT and it is almost as simple to make a large batch as a small batch. You will want to freeze them AFTER you bake them. One of our favorite muffins is this breakfast muffin – great to grab and go or for the kids to grab in the morning during the Summer! Feel free to double or quadruple to stock up!

Delicious Breakfast Muffins
.
Preheat oven 400*
.
Combine:
.
3.5 C flour
2 T baking powder
2 t salt
2 T sugar
Meat of your choice – bacon or sausage (I use about 1/2 C – 1 C of real bacon bits to save time!)
1 C shredded cheese of choice (I like sharp cheddar!)
Parsley to taste
.
Combine in smaller bowl:
.
2 Eggs
1.5 C milk
2/3 C canola oil
.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Stir until just moist (will be lumpy as usual with muffins). Bake at 400* for 20-25 minutes. Remove to rack to cool. Makes 24 muffins.
