How To Guide: Seasoned Croutons

Understandably so, my parents were never huge fans of the sleepover. As young kids, my parents were always super hesitant about letting us sleep over at a friends house. Sleepovers for me and the boys meant a night full of fun with friends, but to Mom and Dad it meant really cranky children the next day.

It was a real treat when we were actually spend the night at someone’s house.

At sleepovers, lots of games and pranks were always played. But my favorite was always the scavenger hunt. To this day, if a group of young hunters come to my house, I always try and give them as many things as I can from my list.

So you can understand my excitement when I tell you that we are having a team building scavenger hunt at work tomorrow. I’m not sure I will sleep I’m so excited.

I hope adult scavenger hunts are as awesome as childhood ones were. I’m sure they will be since I plan on having an adult beverage while hunting.

What I don’t need to search for anymore is the perfect salad accessory.

You will need…

1 loaf day old French bread, cut into cubes


¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons garlic powder


1 tablespoon dried oregano


½ tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon fresh black pepper

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F.

While the oven is heating, combine the garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl and gently combine.

Put the bread in a large bowl and toss it with the olive oil so all the pieces are lightly oiled.


Slowly add in the seasoning while you toss the bread so that every piece is well seasoned.


Spread out the bread onto a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. 


Just till the croutons are lightly browned and crunchy.


Remove from the heat and let them cool slightly.

Use immediately or store in an airtight container for future use.
