    I have always made my own croutons. My mom always did, so I take after her. Homemade is way better.

    Funny that I seen this post today since I just did this yesterday without a recipe. I wanted croutons with the salad I was going to make but didn’t feel like running to the store. Luckily I had a few slices of bread that were beginning to stale, so it worked out great. I used Italian dressing before baking them.

    Whoa, I love croutons and this seems really easy thought i’ve never tried making them before. Well, first time for everything. Will give this a shot when I make a huge pot of tomato soup this week.
