5 Ways with Leftover Bread

I am really enjoying my food waste prevention journey with Love Food Hate Waste Canada! I recently posted 5 ways to use leftover rice, and now I’m on to the next item that can be a challenge in our household. Any guesses? Yep, bread!
⠀
When that bag of bread gets stale or to the last few end pieces, what do you do with it? Well, I challenged myself to get creative and use my imagination to make sure that those pieces of bread aren’t wasted unnecessarily. Just another small change I can make to be a food waste champion.

#DidYouKnow Almost 2.2 million tonnes of edible food is wasted each year in Canada, costing an excess of $17 billion?
⠀
That is a ridiculous amount of money, wouldn’t you agree?
⠀
With everyone in our family working and learning from home, we aren’t necessarily in our routine of making sandwiches every day, we are cooking for brekkie/lunches etc and therefore the bread doesn’t get as used as quickly as it could.
⠀
In addition to freezing stale bread, I made these yummy French toast crusts AND I also made my own breadcrumbs (I know, I know, seems so simple right?), croutons for salad, a cinnacrust dessert and even some savoury bread crust snacks!
