Tupperware
Yep. I talked about Tupperware. I referenced a dish I bought from my local tupperware lady. I fill it to the brim with veggies and leave it in the fridge (or on the counter). Easy access to healthy food.
You can use it for food storage or bust this little dream out at parties.
It's legit, and purchased from a for reals Tupperware lady. Meet Lindsey MacMurray -- she can hook you up!
You can get this dish HERE (just search for "Serving Center Set")
She also recommends the Snack-Stor Large Container
Note: NOT SPONSORED, I just do freaking love that dish.
Enjoy!

She is a founder of Miklat Israel, an NGO that assists the State of Israel in creating a sustainable solution for asylum seekers residing in the country and on the board of Women of the Wall.
> I have always wanted to be a mom -- and have always wanted that to include adoption. I think I have seen families as something beyond a crucial, loving entity, but a force for social transformation.
