2 hearty winter potluck ideas for work to please the crowd! 2 recipes included: beef stew with onions and soup packed with sausage, buckwheat and beans by ilonaspassion.com I @ilonaspassion

During fall and winter we eat more hearty food. Probably we are preparing our bodies for cold winter. Especially for this season I came out with two winter hearty recipes Beef Stew and Hearty Soup. Both recipes are very fulfilling and they are great for lunch at work or weeknight dinners. Making these two recipes I also thought about men that are working outside during winter. The stew and soup is great for them.

However, beef stew and hearty soup is perfect as potluck ideas for work. If you’ll have any potluck soon at your work make these 2 recipes. They are great for fall/winter season, fulfilling and delicious. The stew takes a little longer time to cook so start making the stew and when it’s cooking start preparing the soup.

To store my beef stew and hearty soup I purchased Rubbermaid Brilliance at my local Walmart. These food storage containers are great for storing liquid food like soups, stews, pasta sauces or smoothie bowls. They come in 4 sizes from 308 ml to 2.3 Liters.

What I liked the most about Rubbermaid Brilliance is they are leak-proof and nothing spills when containers are closed. Even when you put containers upside down or on the side. They are clear and you can see exactly what kind of food is inside. These food storage containers are stain and odor resistant which means that you can easily store beef stew with onions in them today and after washing you can use it for smoothie bowls. You won’t taste onions in your smoothie bowl.

Rubbermaid Brilliance food storage containers stacks perfectly one on another. It is great solution for storing them in the cabinet or refrigerator. They are very easy to wash by hand or in dishwasher. You can also heat up your food in microwave using Rubbermaid Brilliance food storage containers that are having vent flaps.

Therefore, Rubbermaid Brilliance storage containers are great for storing liquid food like beef stew or hearty soup. So if you are looking for any potluck ideas for work these two recipes are great. Easy to make, many servings and satisfying!

The beef stew is packed with lots of onions, sliced carrots and mushrooms. It is more like a traditional beef stew. However, the hearty soup is packed with many yummy ingredients like red kidney beans, bratwurst sausage, cabbage, carrots and buckwheat.

Are you ready to make your potluck?

    These recipes have my mouth watering. Yum! I love that you can make them both ahead and store them in those amazing containers. I can’t tell you how many spills I’ve had in my fridge and in carrying bags when taking items to a potluck. I have to get some Rubbermaid Brilliance. #client
