Bread Crumbs

Why throw the heels of bread or that one hot dog and hamburger bun away?  Keep a bag in your freezer and keep adding to it until its full.  Then, make bread crumbs!

1.Preheat your oven to 350
2. Place your bread on a cookie sheet and bake until dry.  You're basically making toast.
3.  Tear the toast in chunks and put them in a big, deep bowl
4.  Blend with your immersion blender until you make small crumbs.
5.  You can also do this by putting your toast in a gallon baggie and either roll with a rolling pin or letting your 3 year old smash the dickens out it!
6.  Store in an airtight container for about 6 months
