Breads

Homemade Bread Crumbs

In this day and age, we have an opportunity to live by the motto our parents and grandparents did, “Use it up, wear it out, make it due, or do without.”  Making your own bread crumbs is easy and a great way to be practical while saving money.

If you’re like my family, most of them won’t eat the crusts of the loaves of bread.  All you have to do is set them on a plate or in a bowl and let them dry out overnight.  Or you can put them in an oven and toast them for a few minutes.

The reason why I made these breadcrumbs is 1) because I had made ribbon sandwiches and we always have a lot of leftover bread that I can’t stand to just throw away, and 2) because I was out of breadcrumbs anyway.

It’s easy to do.  Just set your bread out to dry, as I mentioned above.

Becoming a Good Cook
Grandma rolls 1 For some reason, I have always associated good cooking with being a good mother. Maybe it’s because my grandma was always a good cook and my mom, too. In spite of the fact that I was the PICKIEST eater on the planet, she raised me with good food and a love for fresh foods from the garden, although I was an adult before I ate any vegetables outside of corn and potatoes. Hopefully this site will give you some quick tips and pointers about making cooking easy and fun. I LOVE good food and I enjoy cooking it, but it has to be easy and fast. Once in a while I’ll take on a challenge, but for everyday feeding your family and their friends and some neighbors or whomever drops in, I need fast and easy. Perhaps this site will help you to become a good cook.
