Did you see all the fun posts I wrote while I was on vacation at the lake?

Here’s a list of posts in case you missed any – there are some gorgey photos there (thanks to the beauty of nature):

From old bread to gourmet breakfast!

Despite us taking our leftover bread to the lake, we STILL had some left when we got back! By this time, the bread was far from fresh but still good to eat.

What do you do with old, dry bread?

Well, there are a lot of things you can do but one of my favorites is to make FRENCH TOAST!

Ok, so maybe it’s not “gourmet” in the classic sense but it’s gourmet to me!

Especially topped with blueberries and sliced almonds, with a drizzle of real maple syrup.

I also recommend these uses for old bread:

  • Toasting it
  • Making a breakfast casserole
  • Making a bread pudding dessert
  • Making bread crumbs
  • Making a panini
  • Feeding it to the birds
