AVOIDING FOOD WASTE!
I get obsessive when it comes to party planning with a theme, so when G said he wanted a dinosaur party again, this mama made a dinosaur party happen! 😂🦖🦕💚
I wanted to make tiny dinosaur sandwiches but was worried about the wasted ingredients. To avoid wasting the crusts and cut off parts, we cut each ingredient separately as assembled the sandwiches after cutting them instead of assembling the whole sandwich and then cutting it with the dinosaur cookie cutters. Now I have separate bags of bread, ham, turkey, and cheese scraps that I will be using in other recipes.
First up was this FRENCH TOAST BAKE!
I googled “leftover bread scrap recipes” and found a recipe for “Leftover Bread Breakfast Casserole” by
@melaniecooks
Now listen up - I’m not the best baker (I don’t follow instructions lol). I didn’t measure the bread or the sugar, I used brown sugar instead of white sugar, I used maple syrup instead of vanilla, and I have no idea how long I baked it at firs...
