OXO Produce Keepers

I found these containers on Amazon last year after mourning the loss of yet another head of market lettuce. I purchased one medium-size container to start. After a few weeks of using that container, I ordered a few more. The containers work best for storing leafy greens, such as: kale, lettuce, chard, collards, and herbs. I currently have three medium bins and one small bin.

Reusable Produce Bags

These are a new addition to my fridge organization system. The bags are a great storage solution for loose fruits and veggies, such as: a few zucchini, heads of cauliflower and broccoli, bell peppers, apples, etc. I keep the bags in the fridge produce drawers. The bags are reusable and reusable. I prefer the cloth bags linked to above over the bags in the picture (<–after much trial and error testing).

Pyrex Glass Storage Containers 

These are perfect for make-ahead foods, dips, small ingredients (such as: blueberries or raspberries), and leftovers. I purchased the 3-cup storage containers from Target.

Large glass storage container(s)

I keep one large glass storage container (OXO brand) on hand for anything that doesn’t fit in the glass storage jars mentioned above. I’ve found that one large container meets my storage needs. During strawberry season, I fill the container with fresh strawberries. Other times, I use it to store a large batch of leftover soup.

Mason, Weck, or Le Parfait Jars

These are great for storing homemade goodies, such as: broth, salad dressing, soup, nut milk, or even small berries. I also place fresh herbs in small mason jars filled with water. The tops of the herbs are covered with plastic bags, and then secured with rubber-bands at the base of each jar. This keeps the herbs fresh for at least a week. I find these jars on Amazon and at home stores (HomeGoods, Target, etc.).

Prep Natural Meal Prep Containers

I just recently purchased these containers. I’ve been using them for make-ahead (adult) lunches and leftovers that are turned into lunches (such as the stir-fry pictured above).
