Make-Do Breadcrumbs

Sunday, May 10th, 2009 | Food

Make Do Mondays What, two make-do posts in two weeks? I must be on a roll! And this one is actually my own tip.

I needed some breadcrumbs the other day and didn’t have a loaf sitting around. I dug into my freezer praying that something would turn up, and found a frozen bun way in the back. You know, the one that’s leftover from the kid who won’t eat a bun with their hamburger. I pulled out my grater and grated the frozen bun into a bowl. And it made really great, fine breadcrumbs. I’ve since also just broken it apart with my fingers, which is even easier. Kids love to do this kind of stuff, so you can put them to work, too. Any leftover bread with a fine crumb will work. The key is to make sure it’s frozen. After you’ve grated it, you can toast the crumbs in the oven if you like. :)

Great tip–and you can post it again for Food on Fridays!! I just found an old bag of stuffing cubes. They’re flavored, so I’m not sure how to best use it. Thoughts?

Great idea! My kids like to eat the left over buns plain, but if I hide them in the freezer I could make our own bread crumbs like this.

Thanks for the great tip!
