Beyond the benefit of a packed school lunch giving parents more control over what kids eat at school, we often don’t talk about the financial benefits of packing school lunch. It’s a point I’m always quick to point out to my husband when the kids request “hot lunch” — the lunch the school serves.

When I fold school lunch shopping into my regular grocery shopping I find that not only do I save money by skipping prepared lunches at school, but I also save my sanity — no last-minute scramble to fill lunch boxes in the morning or trying to hold back dinner portions to make sure that I can pack lunches. When I have this list on hand, packing lunch boxes is way more fun.

A box of puff pastry stashed in the freezer means magical things can happen, including a tart with a colorful mosaic of summer vegetables layered on top of fragrant basil pesto and topped with a sprinkling of feta cheese and red pepper flakes. A still-warm slice of this buttery tart is just the thing you’ll want to eat outside with a frosty glass of rosé.

The height of summer promises leisure. We dream of long days spent outside eating food that barely needs to be cooked and of cold drinks that last all afternoon and into the evening. It’s also my favorite time to pick up a new book or two and get lost in someone else’s story. Need some recommendations? I’ve found five deliciously awesome nonfiction books all about food that you need to pick up right now.

I’m all for reducing waste. I try really hard to reduce my environmental footprint by using reusable materials whenever possible. That means I opt for microfiber cloths over paper towels, glass storage containers over zip-top baggies, and real forks and knives instead of plastic ones whenever I have takeout.

So I was pumped when those universal silicone lids started to hit the market. The premise: The seemingly simple lids sit on top of all sorts of bowls, pots and pans, or baking dishes to create an airtight seal for cooking and storage. Because they’re made of silicone, they can go in the freezer, oven, microwave, and more. Plus, you can throw them in the dishwasher when they’re dirty. Cool! But I had some questions: Would they work with my existing kitchen stuff, would I actually use them, and are they worth buying? See? So many questions!
