Raise your hand if you cut the crust off sandwich bread. Keep your hand raised if you feel bad throwing them in the trash.
A frugal fix is on the way! I believe in ‘No food left behind.’ There is always a way to incorporate the little bits of food here and there that get left on the sidelines.
This is a 5 minute recipe to converting sandwich crusts that picky eaters won’t touch, into yummy, warm cinnamon sticks that will have them saying, “More, please!”
One morning after cutting off the crusts of no less than 4 pieces of bread, I had 16 sad crusts staring back at me.
When my son asked what was for breakfast, I blurted out, “Cinnamon Sticks!”
What a great time saver! Make breakfast and lunch at one time, just like the recipes at MOMables.

Can you freeze these? These would be great to give my little one for breakfast, but she goes to a babysitter.
MOMables
you could..just freeze on single serve portions.

This is a great idea. I wonder if you could cook it up in a toaster oven? My oven takes forever to heat up. Morning time this would be hard for us.

i suppose! just be careful not to burn by being too close to the heater elements.

Yes, you can make them in the toaster oven! These were actually made in one. :)
