Have some fun with hosting 'no waste' parties by using food as your serving pieces. Serve drinks in fruit shells like coconuts or pineapples. Dish out salads in citrus bowls. Create finger foods that can be served up on kale, lettuce, tamale wrappers and the like. Have a portable compost bin nearby and all leftovers can get served up lovingly back to the earth.
Supplies:
Double Duty Produce that you can also use as your serving pieces. A few good ones include:
Halved Citrus Shells
Cored Pineapples
Peppers
Lettuces for wraps
The greenery off the top of your pineapples make great 'scoops'.
Anything you can skewer on a bamboo kabob or toothpick...select natural materials and they can get tossed in the compost bin.
Large Seashells are great for holding nuts and condiments.
