Save Bread Ends for Bread Crumbs
Save your bread-ends in a plastic bag in the freezer until you have a quart or more. These should not be dried out first. Thaw out and process in a blender or food processor until crumbs are coarse. Spread out on a pan and let dry. Regrind them into fine crumbs. Now you have bread crumbs to use in recipes.
Mix them with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and whatever herbs you like and use them for breading chicken or pork chops to bake in the oven. This makes a delicious crunchy coating.
Mix them with butter, cinnamon, and sugar for a sweet, crunchy topping for muffins, apple crisp, and such.

Tip: Save Bread Ends for Bread Crumbs
If your family does not like to eat the heels of bread left from a loaf, you can put them in your food processor and make it into fine bread crumbs. We usually store it in the bread crumbs container in the refrigerator to keep it from molding. It is perfect because we eat wheat bread and it is hard to find wheat bread crumbs. You can get some fiber while you have your meat.

Save the two crust ends of bread in the freezer, then when you need to make stuffing or bread crumbs for a recipe you have the bread on hand. You can even save the bread in the very bag it comes home in from the store.

I also save the bread ends to make bread pudding. Since we never have leftover bread the ends work perfectly and otherwise would not get eaten. (07/01/2004)
