Visit the bulk food bins.
Most of my dishes center around a grain (basmati rice, quinoa or couscous), that I buy in bulk. Then, I make a recipe around it. Buying in bulk is nothing new to me. Besides, there is much less packaging to throw away. According to ShifYourHabit.com, If everyone in the U.S. bought in bulk, there would be 1.1 million fewer garbage trailer trips to landfills each year. Wow, think about that!
Once you made your mouth-watering dish that your family (even the kids!) enjoyed, do not heap the left overs into the usual pale-green plastic boxes, but into this stylish glass container. After labeling it, you can stow it away in the fridge or freezer.

This is great idea. My wife also buys food in bulk. At most times, she’ll be cooking 2-3 dishes of the same item she bought. After eating, the left overs are placed on the fridge. And when I often search for 1 particular dish she made on the fridge, I stumble opening each container just to find what I am looking for. It’s a hassle. But with your idea of glass containers, I know I will never stumble finding a dish on the fridge!
