How to reduce food waste?

0 votes

We seem to be throwing tons of food out after each meal, and I'd like to know how to reduce the amount of food we waste.

We've tried several strategies, including "family style" serving, but even in this case, our kids ask for pretty much everything, and then just take a bite or two of each thing, still leaving lots of uneaten food on their plates.

Is there an easy way to reduce food waste when feeding young children?

    I'd be interested to know how other families deal with this as well.

    As for our family, if the food can be saved we'll store it in the fridge then serve it again to them at another meal.

     Smaller amounts cooked.  Smaller portions !  Its all a great balancing act.  You'll get better at it as time goes on.
