First of all I would like to show off the collage from Laura Pace of Found Memories.

I signed up on her blog for the Get Excited and Make Things. I received in the mail the color block collage and a cute card with a recipe. I don't know Marion but I think I have a lot in common with her. Thanks Laura, It is so much fun to get art from others and see what they are working on .

Now for Croutons

Yes Croutons

We have lots of lettuce and spinach in the garden, it has been salad everyday.

I have been making my own croutons so thought I would give you the recipe.

This is the fast method for a small portion

Cut 4 slices of bread in cubes

put in a microwave safe bowl

cut 3 1 Tablespoon slices of butter or margarine and spread out on top

sprinkle about 2 Tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top

sprinkle about 1 Tablespoon Italian season on top

Now put in the microwave for 1 min.

take out and mix

microwave for 1 more min. and mix

now microwave for 1 more min.

let set for a few min. and you should have a nice crunchy crouton.

If your microwave does not cook as hot as mine you may need to put back in for 1 more min.

My Internet at home is not working, so I will not be getting e-mail or be able to respond to anyone this weekend. Have a good one!!!!
