If you’re anything like us, you’ve been meal prepping during quarantine instead of cooking a big meal every night. (By the way, if you’re looking for easy meal prep ideas, we’ve got you covered.) But what if you could take your nightly meals to the next level? Say—to a galaxy far, far away?
Pyrex is selling a Star Wars storage set in honor of the greatest movie franchise of all time. And yes, there’s a Baby Yoda dish, too.
The Force Will Be with You Always
Perfect for a stylish and spacey work from home lunch, the Star Wars storage set comes with eight total pieces. They’re stamped with all your favorite characters, like Yoda, Chewbacca, Darth Vader and C-3PO. If you decide to take the plunge into space and snag some for yourself, you’ll get two 4-cup glass dishes (ideal for stashing homemade snack mix), two 3-cup glass dishes and four lids, two for each piece.
What’s better is the dishes are made with durable, tempered glass and are designed to stack on top of your other Pyrex sets. There’s also a special Baby Yoda snack storage container, just in case you’re as much of a fan of The Mandalorian as we are. We don’t know about you, but we plan on collecting them all!
These adorable Star Wars gadgets bring The Force to your kitchen.
How to Become a Jedi
Get cooking just like Skywalker with this storage set, available on Pyrex’s website. It’s only around $36 to take your meal prep to a new planet, and you can also get each dish individually for about $8 a pop. If you’ve got your Costco card ready, you can find these dishes—and the Mickey Mouse Pyrex collection—in-store at Costco for just $17.99 a pop, according to IG user @CostcoSisters. That’s a pretty sweet deal for all these out-of-this-world goodies.
Fly fast, though—we can’t imagine these dishes will be roaming the galaxy for too long. These are our favorite Star Wars food creations we’re seriously craving a bite of.

Slow-Cooker Char Siu Pork

Roasted Cauliflower & Red Pepper Soup

Thai Coconut Beef
My husband and I love Thai food, but going out on weeknights can be challenging with busy schedules. I wanted to create a Thai-inspired dinner that could double as an easy lunch the following day. The beef is fantastic in this dish, but chicken or pork would be equally delicious! —Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin

Make your next office party a taco bar or burrito bar! Set out the beef in the slow cooker on warm, along with tortillas, bowls of shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, and chopped lettuce, jalapenos, onions and tomatoes.

Hearty Chicken Gyros
I love reinventing classic recipes to fit our taste and healthy lifestyle. This recipe is quick to prepare and can be served with oven fries or on its own. You can add Greek olives, omit the onion, or even use cubed pork tenderloin for a new taste. —Kayla Douthitt, Elizabethtown, Kentucky
Ham, Potato and Pepper Chowder
I have been serving this chowder for years now. When I’m feeding family members who don’t eat dairy products, I substitute oil for the butter, and use coconut milk or soy creamer instead of heavy cream. And it still turns out great! —Eileen Stefanski, Wales, Wisconsin

This recipe for the classic southern comfort food was the first thing I ever cooked for my girlfriend. It was simple to make but tasted gourmet. Lucky for me, it was love at first bite. — Kael Harvey, Brooklyn, NY
