Holiday Centerpiece

This is the perfect centerpiece for a holiday party! Just place a candle in the center of a vase or hurricane. Next, add acorns and cranberries. It is nice to bring nature inside of your home. Enjoy! ~Ali

Homemade Croutons



These crunchy little guys are enough to make your mouth water for hours! I use them in salads and to top off certain types of soup. They are also a pretty tasty snack.



Ingredients

1 loaf of Cibbatta bread

EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

garlic powder

season all seasoning

shredded parmesan cheese

Directions:

Set your oven to 350 degrees. While the oven is heating up, cut the bread into small cubes-the size you would like your croutons to be. Next, spread the cubes of bread over a baking sheet. Cover the bread with EVOO. Sprinkle garlic powder and season all seasoning onto your croutons. Make sure the bread is evenly coated. Use your hands to mix if needed. Pop into the oven for 25 minutes. Cook until light brown. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. TIP: Sometimes I will add more seasoning half way through.  These have taken me years to get right! Don’t get frustrated if they don’t turn out the way you like them the first time. Try again J Enjoy! ~Ali
