Crazy Croutons!

Instead of garnishing your your soup or salad

with the same old toasted bread croutons,

amp it up with something different

A crazy crouton!

Fresh Butternut Squash Ravioli will cook in 3-4 minutes

Then it’s topped with Parmesan and broiled for 2-3 minutes~

A delightful surprise to your Power Greens Salad

Lucky Croutons will make you lucky indeed

When they come with a bowl of Pot of Gold Soup

Bacon wrapped roasted Brussels sprouts are wonderful

with this veggie filled beer cheese soup

Just as the title suggests, Broccoli Candy is hard to resist

Put on top of Spinach & Kale Salad for a healthy lo-carb salad

vegetable salad with broccoli croutons

Parmesan Squash Croutons go with soup or salad

Lightly fried coated with Parmesan and Tempura batter,

and watch them disappear!

I don’t think anyone can resist a

Grilled Cheese Dipper and Vegetable Soup

Or a Berry Salad with Orange Marmalade Vinaigrette & Monte Cristo Croutons

Crazy croutons will take the every day from

Bland to Bam!
