Make the Most of Thanksgiving with U-Konserve

With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away, there's one thing you're guaranteed to have a lot of--and that's leftovers. Thanksgiving is all about being grateful for our blessings, so the last thing we want to do is waste good food. U-Konserve glass and food grade stainless steel containers are the perfect way to guarantee you get the most out of your leftovers.  I tried out the glass containers and they move safely from table to fridge to oven to dishwasher, and they seal up tight, saving you both time and money. The silicone sleeves are as stylish as they are functional, and you can even save space by storing them inside of each other.

In addition to working great for leftovers, the U-Konserve containers are also perfect for transporting food. If you aren't hosting but want to contribute, these lovely containers won't need to be swtiched over to fancier bowls when you get there. You can take off the lid and lay them right out on the table. If you're not sure what you want to bring along, here is a  simple fall-themed recipe courtesy of U-Konserve that might make your holiday a little less stressful.
