If you do bento lunches

What do you do with the scraps / leftovers?  I know my kids would love the cutesy shapes and cutouts, but it seems like there'd be an awful lot of food crusts & scraps leftover.

Re: If you do bento lunches

  • I try to have as little waste as possible.  With the sandwiches, I make them with a half sandwich - one piece of bread - and there's not that much waste (and I'd be cutting the crusts off anyway.  The veggies, I usually use the "negative space" in the bento (see this post).  And whatever is waste?  My husband is usually around to make sure nothing goes in the trash :)

  • Oh, and if anyone is bento-ing, or just wants to try in the hopes to win some great stuff, today's the last day of my bento challenge.  Even if you make the lunch in a tupperware, who cares - give it a try!
