A Mom Not a Professional Nor a Perfectionist: What to do with BREAD ENDS?

I love to have fun with paper, food, paint, music and events and just being creative in all of it. However, I don't feel the need to be a perfectionist nor a professional in any of my creations. I wish I could have a blog JUST about the art of cooking, photography, sewing, art, mothering, jewelry making, card making, dancing, gardening, deep spiritual thoughts, decorating, poetry, party planning, baking.... and the list goes on but I can't. I don't think I was created with the ability to focus on one task. I like all of these hobbies layed out before me and the freedom to pick whatever I choose depending on the mood or time I have.

What to do with BREAD ENDS?

Waste not....... I keep my bread ends in a ziploc bag and once the bag gets full I make a breakfast casserole. Here are two recipes I love and use often.

2 loaves sour dough bread (crusts removed)
