I was inspired by this post at Cents to Get Debt Free to share my stash of frozen bread heels and leftover bread chunks....I know, sounds appealing, right? I throw the lonely, forgotten bread heels, leftover buns or french bread into a bag, and the pieces that I would normally throw away get re-worked into something new!
But I use that bag of bread heels and random bread pieces to make:
- bread crumbs or Italian bread crumbs (throw them in the food processor)
- stuffing
- bread pieces for egg casseroles
- croutons
I make a big batch of bread crumbs and store them in the freezer so I can pull them out whenever I need them without having to lug out the food processor.
It's a great way to be frugal, economical, and pretty creative in the kitchen!
