It's bread crumb day. The gallon ice cream tub I store bread crumb "croutons" in is empty. So I pulled out all the random bread heals and stale buns that have been tossed into the freezer the last few months, thawed them, and toasted them until dry and crouton-y. We use them on salads, sprinkled in some soups, and in bread puddings/stratas. I'll also smash them with a rolling pin for breading certain things.
Cheaper than buying croutons, panko, or shake n' bake type stuff, since I'm using something that would otherwise go to the garbage. Bonus, my freezer has a ton of empty space again!
