Kinetic Go Green 14 Piece Food Storage Container Set & Book Giveaway

 

kinetic go green container set

After attending the Family Dinner Conference last week at New York University, I was even more motivated to continue my quest to serve home cooked meals for dinnertime.

But, I can’t argue, it’s hard work and sometimes a huge pain.

And, even though I meal plan for the week on Sunday evenings, there are many days where I just don’t feel like cooking from scratch.

At these frustrating moments,  my freezer plays a starring role.  Yes, I’ve learned to actually use my freezer to store dinner left overs rather than collect boxes of frozen pizzas and ice packs for injuries.

I actually know what’s available in my freezer because my food items are properly stored and LABELED.  How many times have you put something in tin foil and thrown it into your frozen abyss only to discover it months later with no clue as to the contents?

Yesterday I knew I wouldn’t be back home until at least 6:00pm.  As I was perusing the contents of the freezer in the morning for some meal inspiration, I took out the extra pesto sauce batch I made last month. I moved the frozen peas to the fridge and I found a full canister of elbow pasta…. A dinner dish was born.

Mom was lucky, she had the space for an extra full-sized freezer that was always jam packed with left overs.  However, everything was hastily wrapped in tin foil with no labels.  Needless to say, she was the only person who could navigate her way through the shelves as though she were on a scavenger hunt.

Make your freezer your friend.  You can start by organizing your food in storage containers.

  1. I love freezing meals ahead! Soup, lasagna, casseroles, etc. I also love freezing fresh produce for future use. This year we plan to grow much more of our own food. I’m anticipating eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes in abundance. Would love to freeze some in these beautiful containers!

  2. Sauce … tomato, bolognese …. braised short rib. There will always be sauce …

  16. Hi Shari! I would love these glass containers for storing soups and chili for quick nutritious homemade meals! Thanks! Ava

  18. I would take the opportunity to try some new freezable recipes. Tired of the same old lasagna and chili!

  19. I’m lucky if I get home before 7pm and having an 11 year boy waiting means that many time I need to have frozen homed cooked meals ready to heat up. I often freeze spaghetti sauce, pesto, chili, pasta dishes. Tried freezing beans once – they were just too mushy, not sure what happened. I normally use the freezer bags and do indeed write on them. I also separate steaks when I buy them and put into freezer bags.

  20. I have only recently begun to realize the joy of freezing food. I would use these fabulous containers to store leftovers (chili, stew, lasagne, rice dishes, etc.) and chicken stock. Labeling is nice, but being able to see the contents is a big help, too.

    Believe it or not, I actually keep a magnetized pad on my fridge, and every time I put something into the freezer, I write it down, then I cross it off when it’s taken out. This helps in many ways, and ensures that the oldest items get used first if there are multiple batches in the freezer.
