Croutons And Garlic Bread.

I'm making spaghetti and meatballs and Caesar Salad tonight for Youngest Hawthorne's special dinner, i.e. all the things he really likes. So I need a homemade crouton for the salad and garlic bread for the spaghetti.

I went out to the herb garden and picked basil, rosemary, sage, parsley, thyme, and oregano.

I chopped one loaf for croutons and sliced the other for the garlic bread.

Here's the bread, chopped herbs, and garlic.

I melted butter with Bertolli's Extra Light Olive Oil, added garlic and parsley.

Dipped my bread slices in the butter/garlic/parsley, and set on a baking sheet.

I added the rest of the herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano, and sage) and tossed in the bread cubes to coat.

Placed the garlic/parsley bread slices and the multi-herbed bread cubes on baking pans. Placed in the oven on 250 degree - broil.

Broil very low, until nicely toasted. Save the croutons for the salad, the garlic toast for the spaghetti. And try not to snack on the croutons. Impossible.
