Little League: Odds and Ends

I just cleaned out my pantry. Not my favorite job in the world, no surprise huh? Well, when I took everything out, I found a bunch of odds and ends. You know, bags with 3 pretzels or 5 croutons, boxes with half a dozen chips or a can with a handful of nuts. Stuff you didn’t throw away but it’s not enough to o anything with. Here’s something to do with it. Better yet, let the kids do it.

Get a big bowl and put a colander or strainer inside it. Have the kids dump the odds and ends into the strainer. Give it a shake to get rid of the crumbs and dust that accumulate in the bottom of those bags. Then put the mix into something to keep it handy for snaking.

You can use cereal, dried fruit, cookie crumbles and odd bite sized candy to make a sweet mix for desserts too.
