He did not want the toast

I am going out tonight and I was planning to have pork stew and rice but then we had company, the minister of my church paid us a visit, so I did not get the pork stew from the freezer in time to defrost and cook.(We have dinner at 5 and I start making the stew meat at 3 so that by the time it is dinner, it is fork tender, and a half an hour to an hour, I will add the vegetables.) We could have had spaghetti, but we had macaroni casserole the night before. So I was going to do my stand by, pork and beans. Now my husband does not like veggies, so I usually make a couple of pieces of toast, but this time he would not eat them. He just wanted the beans and weiners. Now I know you can crumble stale bread to mix in meatballs, meat loaf, hamburgers, etc or you can make bread pudding, but what do you do with left over white toast? I cannot eat much bread especially white bread, let alone white toast. Any suggestions?

OMG...I just got entirely lost reading this. You were going out and yet planned on cooking pork stew and rice but then had company and then on to how you make it but didn't? And then why not spagetti cuz you had macaroni and the beans and weiners and all this to ask...what to do with toasted white bread? Sorry...I'm blond and this just struck me funny...maybe because usually it is me that would write something this confusing. Ok to your question...what to do with the toast...I'd just throw it out.

Well here we have pork and beans with toast. I know some places they have pork and beans and mix it with ground beef. But we're Canadian. OH and we usually have cole slaw on the side and I usually have some salad greens. It is more of a "want something quick and do not have that much time to cook," or "I am running out of money and have to budget' meal.

I never had white toast as a leftover before... whatever leftover i have... i just eat them the following day... by adding them to my soup or as garnish to my fried rice... but i think if i had that sort of food in my fridge... i will just heat it up and eat it as a snack... but i will add butter or cheese or jelly to make it more tasty...

Nice idea if I did not have to be careful about having white bread. I can eat multi grain, but I have to limit my white bread. And it was for my husband who had no problem. He's not diabetic. Now if it were bread and not toast, I could have made bread crumbs since I use a mixture of white, whole wheat, rye, and multigrain and use it with hamburgers, but white toast is a different story.

I've used leftover toast as croutons in salad or soup. I like to cut it in cubes and rewarm it in the toaster oven, maybe seasoned with a little garlic powder.

That sounds like a good idea. I should have thought about that.

I wouldn't even think about what to do with it as I would bin it. Maybe now I'm started to be more frugal then I would use it as croutone in soup. Sorry, I am just not that imaginative. I am sure that others will come up with something better than this poor effort! Blessings

I put left over toast into my toaster oven and bake at at very very low heat until it is completly crispy this can take some time but makes the best bread crumbs for breading meat or fish.

Beat a few eggs in a bowl large enough so that the beaten egg mixture covers the toasted white bread and then allow the bread to soak until soft, or at least softer. Next, melt butter at a low heat in a frying pan and make french toast. Then feed it to some birds. You also might consider beating your food-retard of a husband to a bloody pulp with this leftover bread, and then when he is nearly unconscious, about to black out and in the throes of a hallucinatory state, force feed him the leftover toasted white bread crumbs and whisper in his ears, left ear right ear left ear right ear, pushing him deeper and deeper into a delta mindset, repeatedly, insistently, "This is vegetable matter, this is vegetable matter, you are eating vegetables, vegetables are eating you, you are vegetable matter." And the next time the minister of your church stops by unannounced, pretend you're not home until he goes away. Or perhaps you could just eat dinner later, like at midnight, or not at all.

Well, it depends if you have put any butter on it yet. IF not then you can put it into a plastic bag and crunch it all up as use it as you would use bread crumbs. you could put it into your meatloaf and you wouldn't know the difference. But if you have already buttered it then it is pretty much garbage if you don't eat it. Unless someone else has an idea, I will read all of the responses you have and see if someone else knows of something that I don't know about. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day, Chris

You could butter it, cut it into little cubes, sprinkle with garlic salt and bake it till it's crispy and have croutons for a salad. You can also bake it till it's crisp and crumble it to sprinkle over a tuna casserole the last 5 minutes of baking for some nice crunch.

I would make bread crumbs out of the toast ,or like you say you could feed it in to something else,I personally would not make bread pudding out of the toast as it will go like leather and not absorb the milk.xxxx
