Caesar wraps are my new favorite lunch item, and homemade croutons take them from not-at-all-homemade to semi-homemade. :) I can't believe this was my first time making croutons. I had so much fun!
There are a hundred ways to make them, but I made these with half of a big loaf of ciabatta bread, cut into cubs; 4 Tablespoons butter; 2 (small) cloves of garlic; and a dash of fresh rosemary and dried oregano. I also happened to have a couple leftover basil leaves, so I sliced those and threw them in as well. Bake on a baking sheet for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Stir the croutons halfway through the baking time. Voila!
May I also recommend Girard's Light Caesar dressing. As I'm sure you know, Caesar dressing can have more than 20 grams of fat in 2 Tablsespoons, so beware! Girard's Light Caesar has 8 grams of fat and is still delicious.
I hope you find this little lunch idea helpful. (Lunch is the hardest meal for me—Am I alone??) Anyway, as always, thanks for visiting!

How funny! I was just getting some pics ready to post about homemade croutons and caesar salad. I think we're on the same wavelength :)
I LOVE homemade croutons. So delicious! I'll have to toss in a little garlic next time.
And I agree, I really hate lunch. I never know what to eat. I need something substantial enough to last until dinner, but I don't want to feel like I'm eating a big, heavy meal. I often eat dinner leftovers for lunch, but I don't actually like leftovers very much. I think I'll try your wrap idea this week.
