Seasoned Croutons

Well it snowed all night and today. We finally were closed for a day at the bakery which was nice for my husband to have a Saturday off. I was determined to make something that I love with my salad but usually cost me some extra points. Croutons I love croutons yes they are simple food but oh so good when done right. Crunchy and seasoned make your salad worth it when you take a forkful of salad and your croutons in your mouth it is a happy marriage to me. Store bought croutons are high in points so I decided to try making my own. Of course I used a loaf of the Town Crier Bakery french bread that I had brought home. The bread was a day old which was perfect for my crouton adventure a small one but still a adventure for me. I sliced the croutons keeping the cube together. You sprinkle with 1-1/2 tsp salt free seasoning and blend with 1 tsp of garlic powder. Bake until golden brown about 30 minutes. You can store up until a week. 6-8 croutons are only one point. Even a bakery can hold some surprises for us dieters.
