Goodbye Plastic Sandwich Bags




Ok, I told you at the beginning of the month I was on a quest to get rid of plastic in the kitchen. I admitted to having a few hold outs and if you're a mom who makes school lunches everyday, you can imagine the sandwich bag dilemma. And they zip so nicely too.
Well here we are the last day of the month and I FOUND THEM! Waxed paper sandwich bags! A box of 60 by Natural Value costs $2.69 at Whole Foods and depending on where you buy those plastic ones, that could be more or less than what you're used to. But when you consider these bags are non-toxic when incinerated, landfill safe, and not even bleached...it's hard to justify perpetuating our plastic addiction.
So, brown bag warriors, fret no more. The Everyday Organic has found your answer: Unbleached Natural Wax Paper Bags to the rescue.
An Easy Go Green!

The bags are great for sandwiches, but my friend is looking for a way to store breast milk in the freezer with out using plastic bags which she feels will "taint" the milk. Any suggestions on that one?
