Leftover Bread?

Don't throw out whatever bread you have left just because you don't know what to do with it. You paid for it and you can still use it. With the economy the way it is, you might not be able to afford to toss it out.

You can "recycle" the bread into something else. It's good for thickening soups, and can be turned into crutons or bread crumbs if you toast it first. Cut the bread into cubes and put the bread in a low-heat oven until it's crisp. For breadcrumbs, pop the cubes into a food processor and Pulse until they are the consistency that you want.

Maybe you've never cooked with breadcrumbs or crutons because you didn't have any. Since they're so easy to make and a good way to get the most fromo the money you already spent, maybe now you will try something new.
