Pack a "Green" Lunch

Every day, more than 20 million sandwich bags from school lunches go into landfills in the US. These high-quality lunchskins are perfect for sandwiches and snacks on the go and can also be used for messy cosmetics, dog treats, pacifiers, toys and crayons. They are dishwasher safe and will outlast hundreds of plastic baggies.

This Food is so...Architectural

Designer Alessandro Zambelli was challenged to come up with a solution for hiding dinnerware in plain sight. The way cool, Palace Collection was Mr. Zambelli’s solution. At first glance, the pieces look like porcelain renditions of Renaissance palaces in Florence, but each “building” is actually made up of a stack of six plates (dinner or dessert size) or bowls (cereal or soup) with a “roof” that, when turned over, becomes another usable dish.

Organize: Pantry

1. Double your space: stack a few of these platforms gets the most out of high shelves.

The Container Store

2. Display basics: decanting rice and other cooking staples into canisters allows you to see when you need more.

3. Create a system: labeling shelves corrals everything in its designated place, no matter who's putting it back.

Paper Cup Design

4. Stowing tilted wide-mouth jars on the most grabbable levels let you snag easily. Ex. Cookie or Dog Treats

Target

5. Secure storage: baskets prevent large items like paper towel rolls or bottles from toppling over.

Bon Maison

Kitchen: (Nigella Lawson) Cookware

Nigella Lawson, an English food writer, is renowned for her flirtatious manner of presenting. I think her own cookware range, Living Kitchen, plays up that vibe very well.
