Rustic Buttery Garlic Croutons

January 17, 2021

Overhead shot of a wooden spoon full of Rustic Buttery Garlic Croutons held over the baking sheet full of Rustic Buttery Garlic Croutons.

Never underestimate what homemade Rustic Buttery Garlic Croutons can add to your steaming hot bowl of soup or fresh crisp salad! They are so easy to make, and I just love the crispy, buttery, crunch they add.

Overhead shot of a hand tearing the French bread into pieces over a baking sheet, with a square bowl of the butter mixture next to the baking sheet.

Many homemade crouton recipes start with cubing the bread, but we’ve found that tearing the bread rather than cutting it gives rough edges that brown more readily and add additional texture. Day-old bread works well for this recipe. If you have a larger loaf of bread, you can tear half of it for croutons and then freeze the other half for croutons another day.

How to Make Good Oatmeal

November 15, 2020

When the weather finally turns cooler, the mornings call for a hot bowl of perfectly cooked oatmeal. I used to buy individual packets of instant oatmeal and microwave little bowls for my kids and myself, and then I discovered it was much faster, healthier, and more economical to make it from scratch on the stovetop….

Raspberry Jello Salad

November 1, 2020

This Raspberry Jello Salad has been a cherished addition to our family table quite often. I can’t believe I’ve never shared it here. Maybe because Jello isn’t as stylish now as it was when this recipe was published in the Evangelical Free Church cookbook from Huntington Beach, CA in 1968, but I’d say it’s definitely…
