In reply to KKG. It's so so helpful and all these years later I still do it! Just find a big box with a lid, the glass snap on storage containers are great but don't travel well (but the veggies seem to store extra well in glass, but I also use a big rubbermaid tupperware with a red that's pretty huge because my family is big (and I use it to store things like quick bread and cookies in or to take a muffins somewhere!) I really like the big one. If you look for Rubbermaid 687965439399 Plastic Easy Find Lid Food Storage Container, 1.5 Gal, 1777163 Set of 2 on amazon it'll pop right up.

In reply to Astrid. Great to know! We aren't veg either, but like you, I like to keep some great meatless meal in rotation. It's good for our bodies and budget!

Loved this latest mailing. I’m not a veg but like 2 or 3 veg meals a week. Re veg box I use hummus, peanut butter, & “I can’t believe it’s not cream cheese” (tofu)

This is a great idea. My kids love veggies and have no problems eating them, but I ended up using this idea today to make a nice array for a selection to go with their lunches. The problem that I see happening? They’ll eat all the veggies in the first few days and we won’t have any for the rest of the week! And chipotle? Yum – I love chipotle anything.

In reply to Rebecca. That is a good idea! For anyone watching sodium, just keep in mind that cottage cheese is a lot higher in sodium than sour cream.

Love the veggie box idea! I prepped a bunch of veggies two days ago but made the mistake of separating the veggies by type into small containers. I haven’t been eating them because it’s a hassle to pull out all the containers. You are so right about the convenience of using one big box! I’m switching my veggies into one box ASAP. 🙂

Great idea! I can’t stomach the price of store bought hummus, but otherwise I think I’ll give this a go! Try making your ranch with cottage cheese instead. You can feel good about serving your kids cottage cheese with a few herbs!

Love this post. Usually I hate sponsored posts but everything you wrote is solid health information (I’m a retired newspaper medical writer) I’m going to start a veggie box this weekend – especially handy since Passover started last night? And for sure,Sabra is the best store-bought hummus – and no, I don’t work for Sabra in any capacity. One qualifier: although hummus is a powerhouse food, it contains sodium and carbs – so anyone with health issues may not want to go hog wild with the stuff (ask me how I know.)

I do all sour cream. The recipe I have can be used for ranch dressing with half sour cream and half buttermilk. It’s from an e-book called Simple Food for Spring (https://www.nourishingdays.com/simple-food-cookbook/). The amounts of each seasoning are a little different from yours but the only additional ingredient (besides the sour cream) is a little vinegar. I’ve honestly never liked ranch dressing, but I LOVE homemade ranch dip. Probably a little too much. 😉
