I really think there is a little gnome who lives in our cupboards and delights in separating bowls from their matching lids.  I have no idea what happens to the various lids and bowls the gnome steals, but the result is that we have 9 million plastic bowls, 7 million plastic lids, and about 3 matching sets!  Unfortunately this means that leftovers typically end up covered in plastic wrap (which ends up sticking more to itself than the bowl) or foil (which means I have no idea what is in each bowl in the fridge).  Last week I was saved from my leftover misery by the arrival of a box of CoverMate Stretch to Fit Food Covers!

CoverMate Food Covers come in a variety of sizes and will stretch to fit a variety of size bowls.  They are also microwaveable and dishwasher safe and reusable (saving lots of money on foil and plastic wrap…not to mention it’s better for the environment).  In the last week, I have used them to cover:

• a pan of macaroni and cheese
• a half-used can of tomatoes
• a bowl of cut up fruit
• a bowl of chicken
• a plate of food that I microwaved
• a half eaten container of yogurt
• a container of sour cream (the original lid disappeared….it could be the gnome)

My oldest daughter is currently in charge of clearing the table and putting leftovers away and CoverMate Food Covers have saved her a ton of time.  Everyone at our house loves them and I think you all would love them too.
