I snacked and snacked...and snacked



I am definitely on a Lemon-Sage kick. This also feeds my obsession to try and make as many things from scratch as possible. Oh how I yearn for the day when I have space to properly knead bread...or have a stand mixer. Until then...I add croutons (made with store-bought bread, dammit) to my list of homemade staples...

I based mine on this recipe.

What I tend to do is come up with an idea, research recipes online and then go rogue. Sometimes I make it true to form once...but mostly I go my own way.

I do that in a lot of areas lately ;)

For my croutons, I bought a loaf of unsliced, brioche style bread from Fresh Direct's bakery and went from there.

Originally I intended these as a topping for some butternut squash soup and quinoa but in the end I mostly ate them as a snack ;)

Croutons were always one of those things I always just bought...but they can be kind of expensive (if you want organic and minimally processed) for a pretty small amount. Then I had a  light bulb moment and thought... "Wait a moment, croutons are basically cubes of seasoned toast...surely I can make them!" And make them I did!

I've been having these light bulb moments a lot lately...with shampoo, dish/laundry soap...etc.

I find it all sort of fascinating, to tell the truth. And old fashioned. All the things we are conditioned to pick up at the store...when we really don't need to.
