I HATE wasting food. Its a personal bugaboo of mine. I've probably seen one too many commercials about starving children. I've been known to throw around the whole there-are-kids-in-Africa schpeel at my own table.
I never know what to do with the leftover bits and parts at the bottoms of cereal boxes, cracker boxes or pretzel or dried fruit bags that never seem to be quite enough to make a snack out of, but more than just crumbs. So I've started dumping them all into one giant bag and have made our own trail mix of sorts. All those little pieces have added up to a nice size bag of snack mix! And when it gets empty is usually time to dump a little more bits-and-pieces of something into the mix, so its always changing, which Sully loves.
I love it. Its healthy (cheerios, dried bananas, goldfish crackers, pretzel bits, whole wheat cracker bits) and has been a wonderful grab and go snack for the car or walks (dump a cup full into a small baggie or container) that has cost us nothing extra than what we already have on hand.
I love being resourceful sometimes!
