Some small steps on reducing plastic contact with our food

I have already taken some small steps towards reducing the amount of plastic that comes in contact with our food.

- Finally bought a travel mug. Yes there is a plastic lid but the container is stainless steel. As an added benefit I'm no longer getting take out containers for coffee when I do go out for it.
- Moved some unused Pyrex casserole dishes into our storage container drawer and am trying to consciously use them first.
- Took the food I was going to microwave out of the plastic container it was stored in and put it on a plate before heating it up.
- Decided to stop buying yogurt as I'm not that fond of it anyway. I don't eat enough of it to make it myself and Hubby is lactose intolerant so he doesn't eat it.
- Started to look for the availability in glass packaging of products we do buy. Bought some raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing at Trader Joe's to try. 

Products I have found in glass containers at Trader Joe's but haven't tried yet:
- Other salad dressings
- Low fat mayonnaise
- Maple syrup (Publix does too but at a higher price)

Also, they have baking powder with no aluminum added in cardboard containers with a metal bottom and plastic lid. That is better than the one I have been buying that is an all plastic container. I'll be checking out Whole Foods today and see what else I can find although I'm not buying anything until it is needed.
