Building a bridge of understanding between the East (with an emphasis on Japan) and the West (mainly the US) via the avenue of food brings me great joy. There is wisdom in the adage, “Write about what you love.” I delight in baking and sharing goodies with non-GMO ingredients and imported Japanese products. Quality is key to yummy outcomes. Love is also essential.
As necessary as milk is for growing children,
maybe love is even more important.
What do you think?
Seeing the smiles that appear on friends’ faces as they bite into a Ninja Baking goodie is priceless. As one who likes to add value to someone’s day and as a blogger who fills up a freezer with baked goods made for posts, I happily distribute a variety of yummies every week.

Until I was introduced to Dixie Quicktakes®, recycled (and cleaned!) containers were often used to give away goodies. On many an occasion, I also bid adieu many times to better storage cases….unless my fruitless rummaging resulted in no lid. (Have you ever experienced the strange and frustrating phenomenon of the missing lid?)
With Dixie Quicktakes® in my pantry, I can now say sayonara to digging for lids as a dinner party is winding down and people are walking out the door without the promised leftovers. Lids are attached on Dixie Quicktakes® boxes. Brilliant, right? With looming ginormous to-do lists who has time to go looking for lids?

Sushi and Chocolate Matcha Cupcakes were on the lunch menu.
And in the Dixie Quicktakes®.

Another win: 25 containers come in every package. The cost per container runs you a whopping 60 some odd cents. So, if the contents contain peanut butter, marshmallow fluff or some other sticky food, the container can be tossed without a twinge of guilt.
Also, if you find yourself immersed in a busy lifestyle (welcome to the New Millennium) and are always on the go, the Dixie Quicktakes® boxes can be discarded or recycled without feeling guilty about throwing away money.
The containers are perfect for traveling, too. My husband has a love-hate relationship with fare offered at airport restaurants. He prefers to bring his own food. But yours truly prefers he not take our best containers on long trips. Cleaning out said containers in hotel sinks is not my idea of fun.
Speaking of traveling, the Dixie Quicktakes® are perfect for packing non-food items, too. The containers are clear and come in small and large sizes.
Dixie Quicktakes® are reusable, recyclable and dishwasher safe...
And the perfect size for on-the-go sushi!
Dixie Quicktakes® containers are also BPA free. BPA (bisphenol A) is a chemical that has been used to make plastics. Apparently BPA leakage into stored food is a problem. Some doctors are very concerned about the damage BPA can do to the brain. The chemical also apparently has adverse effects on behavior and proper maturation in children.
Tuna, albacore and shrimp sushi are lunch-ready in a
BPA free Dixie Quicktakes® container.
In case you needed further convincing on the benefits of Dixie Quicktakes®, here’s a link to product reviews and a video. For your reference, the containers are available only on Amazon.
