Homemade Sourdough Croutons

it's common knowledge that when it comes to eating caesar salad, the best part is the parmesan cheese (in excess) and the crunchy, garlicky croutons (also in excess)

for dinner tonight i decided to make use of some bargain bakery stale sourdough bread and make my own croutons to accompany our weekly dose of greens.

fact:  making homemade croutons will..

impress your children.

and husband.

and yourself.

you should do it.
