A few days ago I shared my easiest and hardest reusable swaps on social media and I loved hearing the responses.  Because if you’ve ever tried to live a little more sustainably, you already know—some swaps are easy and some just don’t stick.

Let’s start with my hardest.

My hardest reusable swap: reusable grocery bags

Reusable grocery bags should be simple. But somehow, they’re not.

I always forget them. Either they’re in the car or at home when I need them. And I’m the one walking out of the store balancing 14 items in my arms looking ridiculous! 😅

My easiest reusable swap: casserole covers (and bowl covers)

On the flip side, this one was so easy!

Reusable casserole covers (and reusable bowl covers) are hands down one of my easiest swaps. I didn’t have to change my routine or remember anything extra, I just replaced what I was already using.

And honestly? I think they’re more convenient than the single-use version.

No dealing with plastic wrap that won’t stay put. Just grab one, pop it on, done.

What are casserole covers made of?

This is one of the most common questions I get!

Our casserole covers are made with:

• A 100% cotton outer layer
• A food-grade, waterproof PUL lining on the inside

That inner liner is what really makes the difference. It helps keep moisture in, so your food stays fresh, whether it’s in the fridge, on the counter, or on the way to a potluck.

They’re also:

• Easy to wipe clean
• Machine washable
• Washer & Dryer safe

Do reusable casserole covers actually keep food fresh?

Short answer: yes.

The waterproof lining helps seal in moisture, which means your leftovers don’t dry out.

Whether you’re storing leftovers, covering a baking dish, or transporting food, these reusable kitchen covers are designed to keep things fresh and contained.

My 3 favorite ways to use casserole covers

• Covering casseroles in the fridge
• Bringing meals to potlucks (no spills on the drive)
• Storing leftovers or baked goods on the counter

Not every reusable swap has to be hard.

Some take a bit more effort to build into your routine. And some, like reusable casserole covers, just slide right in and actually make life easier.

If you’re looking for a simple, practical sustainable kitchen swap, this is a great place to start.

If you have questions about reusable casserole covers (or want to share your easiest or hardest swaps), feel free to reach out, I always love hearing what’s working in real life.
