Friday Favorites:Divorcing My Plastic





I recently made the decision to throw out all of the plastic food storage containers. I have started replacing them with glass containers. It's so much neater and prettier in my fridge and cabinets and I'm less likely to try to save every little last morsel of food like I've made this terrible habit of doing.
The result: less to clean out on grocery day. It just keeps giving. It makes for a much prettier presentation too making everyone more likely to reach and grab for a better snack choice.



side note on my groceries I used our Kroger ClickList this past week and oh be still my heart. I do not know why I have not used this sooner. Yes, I have to drive a bit further to the nearest store seeing how our local store does not offer it yet, but the time I saved made it VERY worth it. I simply logged into my Kroger account, selected my store and my pickup time, then loaded my cart. It stores all of your recent purchases so it makes it easy to add items that you purchase regularly. It was just a breeze.

Washing your produce is important. Buy organic if you can. Washing it in water doesn't always get all the gunk off. A favorite product of mine for making sure all of my produce is clean is the Rebel Green Fruit and Veggie Clean. I found mine at my grocery store. You can purchase it online as well.  Not only will it get the gunk off of your food, you will not be putting that gunk into your body AND you will be extend the life of your produce.


From glass water bottles, to glass containers, to organic produce.....minimalism, money saving and time management, and health. If it betters me or my family I am all for it. 

Do you have any products or goods you are switching out for 2017?
