Sorry Mom!

I have been making different breads over the past few weeks especially with our recent storm. I never thought I would have bread on the verge of going stale as it is a staple in the Carondelet Kitchen. I realize that explains why it is a cardinal sin to run out of butter!

I was determined to do something with it and not just be lazy about throwing it out to the birds. Do not worry, they have plenty of seed to keep them happy.

I flashed back to a memory of my mom making croutons. I did a quick search on the internet and realized it was an easy recipe of olive oil and seasonings. I was able to quickly cut up the bread, mix in the oil and seasonings and bake it in less than an hour.

I was never a fan of my mom and her croutons. I could never understand why she was excited to make this one recipe when you could easily buy them from the store. I need to put the apology out into the ethos and let her know she was wise to repurpose her bread into a delicious food to enhance our meals.
