for $1.04... (and a giveaway)

[In case you didn't see the original post (below), I'm hosting a little spring giveaway this week.  You have till Friday night to leave a comment on this post, simply telling me you're here.  It's my way of thanking you for sticking around these parts and encouraging me in so many ways].

Onward...

Have you discovered the day-old bread section at the grocery store?  I make a beeline for this display each time I'm there and stock up on French Bread.  For $1.04 (plus a few added ingredients), I can quickly pull a loaf from my freezer and make a whole array of inexpensive dishes.



Cinnamon Baked French Toast (minimal ingredients, always a winner)
Stuffed French Toast
Sausage Kale Breakfast Strata
Garlic Tomato Bruschetta (one of my most frequented and requested recipes)
French Onion Soup
French Bread Pizza (any variation; easily customizable for every member of the family)
Pumpkin Bread Pudding (though it's not currently in season, this is my favorite bread pudding recipe)

...not to mention garlic/cheese bread, grilled cheese, croutons, etc...

So how 'bout you?  How do you work wonders with a loaf of French Bread?
