I have the privilege of sharing food storage ideas with the sisters in our Relief Society. I've decided to share with my sweet family some of these ideas. Let's start with leftover bread. When I think of all the heels of bread I've tossed I could scream! Now I take the heels and cut them into cubes and put them into a bowl to dry out. After I have about 10 heels worth I put them into a larger bowl and add 4 Tbls Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp oregano, celery salt and garlic salt. After I mix this into the cubes I then add 4 Tbls salad oil. Now I toss it all together and pour the cubes onto a cookie sheet and cook for about 15 minutes in a 300 degree oven. TaDa! You now have great croutons! They are so good!!! Store them in a clear container in the cupboard. I also put leftover bread into a big ziploc bag and beat with a rolling pin to get my own bread crumbs. It's so much better to make your own food items whenever possible!
