Tip from the RFS Team: Package lunches in an insulated box or bag with a re-useable ice pack. Or make your own ice pack by including a smoothie or fruit juice frozen in a sealed container. It will keep your other dishes cool and by lunch time it will be ready to drink.

I just heard a two great recipes from Martha Shulman For leftover broccoli stems: Peel the stems Slice into coins about 1/8 inch thick Put coins in a jar with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, tighten the lid, shake the jar and place in fridge overnight, which will draw out the moisture. Next morning, pour out the water, toss with garlic, olive oil & vinegar for a fabulous fresh pickled snack or hors d'oeuvre Or for carrots: slice into sticks, steam for 5 minutes immediately toss with a nice sea salt, vinegar, olive oil and chopped fresh mint. Voila!
