2 new recipes

I have 2 new recipes to rave about. Today, I decided to get creative and made my own homemade croutons. I'd been planning on making them for weeks. I've been saving the heels from our bread and finally accumulated enough to make croutons with. I didn't have a recipe so I just winged it and here's what I came up with.

Melt 1/2 stick (really depends on how much bread you have) butter in a 9X13 casserole dish. Add garlic salt, garlic powder, parsley to taste. Toss uncooked bread crumbs in butter mixture. Cook in oven @ 200 degrees until dry.

I also wanted enchiladas yesterday. I really didn't want to go buy enchilada sauce so I went online and looked up some recipes to make sauce. I didn't have everything they called for so wound up experimenting again. I'm happy to say that I've come up with an enchilada sauce that is VERY, VERY similar to Mexican Villa's enchilada sauce. I think I'll keep this recipe to myself, but for immediate family members that really want it let me know and I'll email it to you. I think I could bottle and sell this stuff!
