Kitchen Crumbs

Just until last year I used to always buy my breadcrumbs. That is, until I discovered how simple it is to make! Never spend another penny on breadcrumbs...

please.

Ever.

All you need are a few pieces of sliced bread. We prefer whole wheat. The key here is to read the label on your bag of bread to ensure that it does NOT contain any high fructose corn syrup. You will be amazed at how many out there do. High fructose corn syrup has been linked to obesity and high cholesterol.

Next, take out a few slices and leave them out overnight. You'll want them to turn stale. Then simply pop them into your food processor or blender and you're done - Breadcrumbs!

You can use this as an opportunity to show your little ones about measurements and counting. Daniel did most of the work, but Mia watched happily as we counted the number of pieces we needed to cut the bread into, in order to fit them into our Ninja food processor.
