No Waste Tastes Great / A Sweet Story

It’s Friday Guys – time for No Waste Tastes Great

Click here to learn more about my Friday routine

Rather than a photo of my Friday fridge, I thought I’d mix it up a little this week.

After not such a great week, last week, things definitely improved on the food waste front. That talking to myself did the trick!

Below is what I have in the fridge that needs using up

The story behind this melted (and re-hardened) white chocolate is so sweet, I’ll always remember it.

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. Lover’s across lands exchanged cards, treats and kisses.

Upon entering class my 4-year-old son was given a packet of Love Hearts. It was one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen.

Such an act of sweetness deserved to be reciprocated.

A few digestives, lolly sticks and melted chocolate…

Some more melted chocolate, Love Hearts (not from the gifted packet of course!), and sprinkles…

Voila! The perfect Valentine’s gift from one 4-year-old to another.

I had a dilemma however, I knew once my 4-year-old saw it – he’d also want one, and then there was his Big Sis to think about…and a few of their friends.

Before I knew it, I had a production line going on.

They were a hit on the playground after school. So worth the time and effort.

I’m wondering how many times Mom will come to the rescue when my Son forgets a birthday, an anniversary, or other special occasion in the future?

I wonder? 😉

(p.s the chocolate will be used as part of the frosting for a birthday cake I’m whipping up this weekend)
How’s your Fridge looking this Friday? Anything to declare? Or is it nice and bare? Please share…and don’t forget to drop a link in the comments if you’ve blogged about it!
