Homemade Croutons for Soups and Salads
Rather than throw out the ends of bread, or your stale bread you can turn them into something useful and delicious that will save you money on your grocery bill. It means one less thing to buy at the market and less waste coming out of your kitchen.
Aside from the economical reasons, I love making my own croutons because it gives me complete control over the seasonings and the size of them. I prefer smaller ones for salads and larger ones for soups. Once you see how easy they are to make you will never go back to the store-bought variety.

I made a big batch a month ago and they are still good with no signs of mold. Check out the many more recipes we have available here at MommyMatter today!
