You get breadcrumbs of course. In my household, you won't see any pre-made or box of food stuffs. I grew up with a lot of food items homemade and I continue that. Why, because I control what goes into my body and I would prefer to know what I am feeding myself and my husband. Whenever we buy a loaf of bread, we hardly ever finish the loaf before it starts goes stale. So what do I do? I let it go stale and all dried up and then you have a loaf perfect for homemade breadcrumbs.
How do you make homemade breadcrumbs?

Easy enough, right? I just cut the dried bread up into chunks and pulverize them into pieces in the food processor.
Dip a chicken breast, or strips of chicken or or a filet of fish in some, flour then eggs and then coat the breast in seasoned breadcrumbs and then cook in the oven!
I made baked chicken stripes for dinner last night. Am I 12 again? Maybe...
Use breadcrumbs when making meatballs or when making a meatloaf.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs in place of croutons on your tomato soup or any other soup.
Put breadcrumbs in your spaghetti dish for an added crunch.
If you are making stuffed peppers, sprinkle some breadcrumbs on top of the filling for some extra texture.
There are many uses for breadcrumbs but do yourself a favor, don't buy a box of breadcrumbs but with that leftover loaf of bread you bought for dinner, make your own breadcrumbs.

I should really do that!!!
I love homemade bread crumbs! It's the only kind I eat too, that and I can't eat store bought because of food allergies. And you're NEVER too old to eat chicken strips (which I'm also allergic to, haha).
Instant bread crumbs, I love it! You're right, you really can add them to any meal. I love breaded chicken, so I say you're never too old for chicken strips. :)
You know, I have never made my breadcrumbs...but this is a super easy idea! :)
we do this too! except we toast the bread before putting it in the food processor because it makes them even crunchier! thanks for stopping by my blog- we already miss europe :)
Pray that I get engaged soon, so I can register for some awesome kitchen items!! lol!
Love this, so easy and a great way to use the bread before if goes bad!!
Haha, bread never lasts that long around here. We love our carbs :)
What great ideas!! Thanks for sharing Meg! We let our bread go stale way too often, so I just don't buy it much anymore. Do you ever add spices to your breadcrumbs?
great idea to make your OWN breadcrumbs!! especially when you use em to cook as much as I do!
the chicken looks great girlie!! never too old for chicken strips!! I always indulge in em whenever I have a chance!
I have that exact same food processor, don't you love it?
I don't have a food processor at home, but we do have this little chopper thing that makes cutting up vegetable super easy! ha

Now that I have a blender I can actually make my own breadcrumbs since our bread goes stale so often... Great trick :)
Wow, what an awesome idea!! definitely doing that!
what a neat and easy idea to cut back on processed food that way! I'm sure it would also give the chicken a much more fresher and yummy taste.
I am impressed that you do so much homemade! I've been trying to eat less processed food, and it sounds like you guys do that already! Thanks for the ideas!
Yummm! That chicken looks amazing!
How long do your crumbs keep?
this is so PERFECT! i dont have a machine like that thought :(
how long do they stay good??
So impressive. I definitely need a foot processor.

Looks yummy, I'm impressed! :)
We make our own bread crumbs, too, but I don't own a food processor so we just do it in the blender. It works the same, I think!
It takes us forever to finish a loaf off, too, but most of the time the extra bread goes to the chickens. They'll eat anything except celery! :o)
That's a great idea! I love the way you've stored the crumbs too. I'm doing this with any left over bread from now on.
GAH! Thank you so much for this! I've been wondering what to do with my food processor! LOL but seriously...
Make sure to stop by and check out my giveaway - it's a good one!

Great idea! And keep up the healthy habits. It's such a shame that Americans are fed junk that we can't even pronounce. Go girl!
We are following you now and would love to have you follow us back.
