How do you store your leftovers?

Here are some things to think about when storing food:

Try to store leftovers in GLASS containers instead of plastic.

• Not only is there lots of research on the release of chemicals in food from plastic storage containers, but the environmental impacts of actually producing plastic is extremely high!
• I love using small Pyrex containers. You may also find you like using leftover canning jars!

Try to limit the use of platic baggies.

• If you have to use them, by all means WASH AND REUSE them as many times as possible!
• In my family, we save and reuse the bags that our food comes in (i.e. bread bags).

Think of how incorporating these simple changes will stretch your budget as well!
