Garlic Dill Wheat Croutons

Listen, my dearest readers. I need a favor from you. It’s semi-important.

For the next 40 or so days, can you just be sure I don’t eat any candy? None. Not even gum. I’m not sure how I’ll last without gum, considering I chew almost a pack a day. It’s almost as dangerous as a cigarette habit.

Either way, Abby and I both vowed to give up candy for Lent this year. We figure that the Easter treats will taste so much sweeter if it’s been a long time since we last indulged. And with Abby in CCD and making her First Communion this year, she is very into giving something up for Lent. I guarantee she’ll be better at this than I will be. I mean, it’s candy.

Candy, for gosh sakes. I can’t remember the last time I attempted to give up my favorite treats. But I bet it was a hard as this will be…

So can you just check in on me every once in a while to ensure I keep my vow? If not for Lent, for Abby. I did promise, after all.

Now, about these croutons. They are better than any store bought crouton you’ll have. They jazz up any salad and taste fab. Give them a whirl!
