There was a great article on Sat about ways to use your left overs to stretch your grocery budget. The post mentioned using stale bread to make croutons.
I love making my own croutons. I cut up bread into small chunks, toss them with 1 T of olive oil and italian seasonings. Then I roast them in the oven at 350 until brown.
I also love to blend up stale bread and then put it in the freezer as bread crumbs for meatloaf and breading chicken and making my own onion rings. It is tasty. If a recipe calls for seasoned bread crumbs I just mix in the required seasonings. Keeping the crumbs in the freezer helps them last longer.
I also love to remake bbq pork or beef into enchiladas or tacos. I just freeze the leftover meat until I need it.
