Homemade Croutons

Before I get started about homemade croutons...

Tomorrow (Thursday, June 7th) we are shoving off for a few days to explore Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park. I will resume posting mid next week.

A great solution for that day old crusty bread is to make croutons. Croutons are simple to make and embellish so very many dishes such as salads, soups and casseroles.

• Preheat to 350 degrees
• Chop your day old crusty bread into bite sized pieces
• Toss bite sized pieces onto a cookie sheet and drizzle olive oil all over the bread bits
• Sprinkle Herbes de Province all over the bread bits
• Do a bit of mixing so olive oil and the spice are evenly distributed

Bake for about 15 minutes-until your croutons are golden brown. Croutons can be stored for a few days in a tightly lidded container.
