I found these natural wax paper bags at Whole Foods a few weeks and they are my new favorite thing. Although I buy products in glass containers when they are available, too often there isn’t a non-plastic option. Plastic wrap is everywhere and often unavoidable. The meat I buy at Trader Joe’s, the Applegate Farms pepperoni, ketchup, mustard,cereal and cookies are all wrapped in a think coating of plastic. Not only is our over usage of plastic not good for the individual–it is also not good for the planet. And of course, when you have two kids on a gluten free diet, you seem to be taking snacks everywhere. These natural wax paper bags are the perfect solution when you need a snack size bag, but don’t want to use a ziplock. I also love their warm, golden color and retro feel. I use them for sliced apples, cereal, chips and pretzels.
