Can you tell from the title that this is going to be a post about Pyrex?
I have a very serious relationship with my Pyrex.
Honestly y’all, my Pyrex dishes are one of my favorite (and most used) wedding gifts.
It’s not that I don’t love the gold rimmed crystal goblets and gold and silver sterling silverware sets… but, we aren’t fancy people 
Y’all have seen pictures of my favoritest-favoritest-favoritest Pyrex thing before
Remember those? I even wrote a post on Blissfully Domestic about my 5 Must Have Kitchen Gadgets (non-electric) and they were at the top of the list.
I haven’t gotten into once a month cooking yet, however, I am a huge proponent of easy cooking and especially since we’re so busy with PTA and Soccer and Birthdays and School and… you know, life! I’m always ready for anything that makes cooking and life easier 
I love one dish meals, preparing veggies ahead of time and keeping them in the fridge for easy snacking and grabbing for adding to meals. I love when I can prep, cook, serve, refrigerate/freeze something all in the same dish.
It really is the little things that make me the happiest, y’all.
Nathan works looooooong hours and unfortunately he can’t come home for lunch; so I tryto send healthy, filling, delicious meals with him that he can keep in the work refrigerator and easily re-heat. Home cooking, there’s just nothing like it and just because he can’t be at home, doesn’t mean he should suffer , right?!
Pyrex makes that easy for me and when I was contacted by Pyrex about reviewing their nifty new line of No Leak Lids Glass Storage Products… YES PLEASE!
I did a little happy dance when the box arrived at my house and I saw all the goodies inside; I also giggled when I saw my measuring spoons
These rockin’ dishes and lids– I love! L-O-V-E, y’all. LOVE!!
I especially love the nifty little steam release on the lids so that the food can be microwaved with the lid on, allowing for the steam to release and NO MESSY MICROWAVE! YAY!!! (Now, if I can only get Nathan to remember to bring the dishes HOME from work!)
I got the goodies right before we left for our cruise and I started using them as soon as we returned, I have ALWAYS used Pyrex, I looove Pyrex and the addition of a few new goodies, like the flat whisk (awesome for sauces and soups), the grater with attached measuring cup (perfect for grating parm for my pasta sauces and salads) makes my kitchen a happier and more efficient place for me .
Guess what – One of y’all gets the same Pyrex goodies that I got!!!!!!
Here’s what you’ll get:
Pyrex Supper Saver Package
* Grocery list pads – For meal planning before you head to the store.
* Reusable grocery bags – Plastic is so 90’s.
* Three (3) Pyrex No Leak Lids Glass Storage products – You can bake in them, store in them…what’s not to love?!?
* Mezzaluna – Good chopper tool for easy prep, plus, let’s face it, I think it looks cool.
* Pinch bowls – Perfect to prep and measure.
* Small spatula – Good for mixing and cooking.
* Grater with container – Everything tastes better with a little cheese on top!
* Basting brush –If all else fails, brush some BBQ sauce on previously prepared meats for a tasty re-heat dish!
Are you as excited as I am?

It’s so hard to name my favorite Pyrex product because I have so many and love them all. But I have to say the one that gets used day in and day out is probably my set of glass liquid measuring cups. A tried and true classic, and the only thing I ever make pancakes in.
Angie @ Just Like The Number´s most recent brilliance ..It Can Probably Wait
We eat nearly all our meals at home, and the one thing that keeps us eating at home instead of running out for dinner is having a meal plan. Once a week I sit down with my calendar and plan my meals, making sure we have easy meals for those hectic days and leaving the more time consuming meals for less busy days. I also try to do as much prep work as I can during the day time or during nap time to make the witching hour a little more manageable.

I love my Pyrex measuring cups!
I am such a Pyrex fan too! One of my favorite pieces of pyrex are my small glass storage bowls with lids! I’ve had them for 7 years and they’re still in great shape AND I love to use them to store tomato products because they don’t get stained! yahoo!
One thing that I do to make suppertime easier is to have my kids help with small things. That way they don’t get as impatient waiting for supper to be on the table!
I have a baking dish that has a lid and a christmas type holder and the hot/cold bag to carry it in and I love it. I use it for every function I need to bring something to.

I try to cook enough for two meals at least. We eat one and I freeze the other. When we have a hectic day or if I just don’t feel like cooking I can go to the freezer for one of these meals.

I love the baking dishes…they are my favorite!
I have a Pyrex portables baking dish that I love love LOVE.

To make suppertime easier: I plan. If I don’t have a plan, we’ll end up eating cereal every night! So I make a (rough) weekly menu and shop for that. Leaving a few nights for leftovers to give Mama a break, of course

I use the Pyrex baking dishes for brownies all the time!
To make dinner easier I use my freezer! Love that thing. Lately I’ve been roasting chicken breasts, cutting them up in chunks (or shredding) and then freezing in 2-cup portions in ziploc bags. I can pull it out for a quick chicken salad, or chicken enchiladas, etc. It’s a fabulous time saver! (And PS – you’ll get juicier chicken if you get the bone-in chicken breasts. And it’s cheaper too!)

I love my baking dishes. They are used so many days of the week and hold up so well. Unlike the non-stick metal ones that eventually are no longer non-stick, but also poinonous to those eating from them, you just can’t go wrong with Pyrex glass! It can go from fridge to oven without breaking. Oh, I do love my baking dish!

To make supper time easier, I cook chicken or turkey i larger amounts and freeze it for easy use later. I do the same with many veggies. Did you know that a can of corn is about the same amount as an ear of corn? When it’s on sale fresh in the summer, I stock up, blanch it, cut it off the cob, and freeze an ear’s worth in a baggie. Why spend $1/can when I can buy it for 10 cents an ear in the summer and have it frozen from fresh all winter? Easy peasy.

I love my Pyrex mixing bowls with plastic lids. Perfect for summer salads! Of course I’ve had those and my measuring cups for 18 years!
Easy tip. If you forget to defrost meat the night before. You can put frozen boneless, skinless chicken in crockpot a small can of enchilada sauce. Cook on low 8-10 hours. High 5-6. Shred for perfect chicken soft tacos.
I just found your blog and am in love! Going to poke on around. Feel free to stop by Domesticallyobsessed.com to take a peek.
I have three of their baking dishes, different sizes and they are by far my favorite things to use in the kitchen, besides a wooden spoon (*smile*). Clean up is easy and the lids are perfect for fridge storage. Plus one came with a wicker bottom to use for display when sitting on the table.
Magnetic measuring spoons sound pretty awesome! I love pretty much ALL my Pyrex stuff. I love that it’s glass and safe, compared to a lot of the nonstick stuff. And all the dishes have lids. Makes life easier — no needing to move to separate storage container at the end of the meal.
I can go a day without using my glass 2 cup measure.
I run all my veggies that need prep for the week through the food processor in the same day. I separate them into zipper bags for each meal. If I know I’m going to need sauteed onions, mushrooms, etc more than once in the week, I’ll cook all of them and put portions in the freezer for later.

I love my pyrex portables! It makes bringing dinner to people SO easy!

I try to do a lot of prep work for dinner during naptime. That way when it’s time to cook I don’t have so many steps.

My favorite piece is the 9×13 baking dish. I have 3 or 4 of them…I have others too – 8×8, pie, loaf. Love them!
I started once a month cooking earlier this year & I LOVE it!!!

That is an awesome kit! I love my storage containers. So good to keep left over chili in and take to work to warm up. I def could use more pyrex!!

OK, easy peasy! My favorite Pyrex container isn’t even mine! It’s my mother’s! I, of course have some of my own and love them, but there is an ancient glass, Pyrex measuring cup that my mother has and has been using for as long as I can remember. There are a few specific things like that in her kitchen that make me all nostalgic.
To me suppertime flows so much better if I have someone bustling around behind me cleaning as I go. A sioux chef, actually. I can frequently draft a child or my husband in to help in that department. I remember doing it for my mom as well. Not to mention having an extra set of hands to grate, stir, or slice.

I love my glass bowls with lids. They’re perfect for leftovers!
my favorite pyrex product is the big glass baking dish. anytime you make something in that dish, you know there will be plenty to go around! at least enough for seconds and a couple of take-away lunches!
the best way i know to make suppertime a little easier is to make sure that you have everything ready beforehand. i hate to make stops at the grocery store on the way home! i also pack up the leftovers in take-away dishes, so i can have a few frozen lunches ready for the week or when someone wants a quick meal. always wash dishes and clean up as you go along, so you don’t end up in a filthy kitchen with no clean dishes. i try to have the dishwasher ready to go before dinner, so i just rinse the plates and flatware before i tuck them in the dishwasher. everything is ready to go!sweep the floors and swipe the counters and the job is done!

I LOVE my Pyrex too! My favorite might be my giant glass measuring cup. . .good for measuring, making jello, pancakes, heating water, etc, etc, etc. Pyrex, pyrex, I love you! (and thanks for the giveaway.)
Here’s my tip to make dinner prep easier: I keep a special plastic container of toys and crafty stuff that my boys (5 and 2) can only get out while I am making dinner. They love their “special” box, and it gives me usually 10 or 15 minutes of uninterrupted time.
thank you!
I love my pyrex glass bowls. They are simple and durbale. And they are one of the “bigger” items we got for our wedding that are still around! It is just my husband and I for now and we’ve started making the bases of many dinners on sunday’s between football and relaxing to make week nights easier!
I love my pyrex glass measuring cup and my pyrex pie plates! Though sadly I broke my 1 cup measuring cup! But I still have the 2 cup! One tip I learned earlier this year from another blogger is to freeze a whole package of bacon in individual slices. Just lay them out in a single layer on a small sheet pan (that will fit in your freezer) lined with foil and freeze. Once the slices are frozen you can pop them into a ziploc bag for future use. They thaw incredibly quickly and I have even put them in a pan frozen. I have come across so many recipes that call for just a few slices of bacon and I hate having to deal with a whole package so this makes it really easy!
I love all my Pyrex baking dishes. I use them all the time!
One thing I do to make dinner easier is cook all my ground beef as soon as I bring it home. I freeze them in 1/2 pound portions. When ready to use it, all I have to do is pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds – 1 minute and I already have my cooked ground beef. Ta-da!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I do love the baking dishes. When my mom died she had 8 – 13×9 baking dishes in her cabinet!! We were in shock, but my guess is they came from people who brought dishes over the years and she ever returned the dish – never knew… but everyone in the family got one when we packed up her house! And believe it or not, I did not get one, and am the one who can never find that size when I need it. She must be rolling in her grave!
Very cool set you got, glad you like it!

to make dinner easier, I either 1. have my 17 year old daughter fix it
or 2. use as few ingredients as possible and try to work with what I have on hand…it doesn’t always come out beautiful but it’s usually edible

I LOVE Pyrex!!! I am a soaper and I have a set that I use just for that purpose. I also, with my family, make candy every year for Christmas and I have another set that is used just for candy. On top of all of that I have a set that I use every day for dinners. We don’t eat out much and we are a very busy family of five, so making extra one night and freezing half is my lifesaver! Pyrex is always there for me!!!
I love my Pyrex measuring cups – use them nearly every day!
Meal planning makes dinnertime easier for me. I do as much as I can the day before, then dinner comes together much more quickly.
My favorite pyrex product is my glass measuring cup/mixing bowl. I use it for everything!
Chris´s most recent brilliance ..Picture Kindness
My favorite is my Pyrex storage dishes, they are all we use to take leftovers to work.
To make suppertime easier, I plan my meals out on Sunday. Makes it easy when I get home, no having to decide what to make.
I love my Pyrex big glass measuring cup! I would be lost with out it!
Wow! Choose my favorite Pyrex item is like asking me which of my kids I like best!!!! I love it all for different reasons-I have all different side clear dishes and pretty white baking dishes and I have some spoons (that have been discontinued : ( ….so sad) that I absolutely love!!
