I do not like wasting food.  When we make homemade bread it usually disappears quickly, but there are some weeks that we just don’t get around to eating it.  I then put it into the freezer and it seems it might sit there for quite some time.  When I take it out, it is usually a little bit harder and not so soft. That is when I came up with this idea……

I cut my bread in slices, almost cutting through to the bottom but leaving it still in tact.

I then poured melted butter down the center of the bread.  Paying careful attention to make it into each and every slit.

I then mixed up some cinnamon and sugar combination and sprinkled it over top of the bread.  I wrapped it in foil and put it into the oven with dinner.  It was on 350 for about 20 minutes.  

Finally I mixed up some powdered sugar and water to a drizzle consistency.  Poured it over top of the bread, making sure to reach into the crevices.

There you have a delicious alternative to day old hard stale leftover bread.

Teenage girls seem to be the easiest to make gifts for.  Especially if the girl is into makeup and spa items.  Then this gift is perfect gift to make.

We bought a muffin tin and put a cupcake liner inside.  We then hot glued nail polish into the liners and stuffed foil confetti strips around the polish

We saved one of the holes for a homemade nail polish remover jar.  We cut a sponge into a strip as high as the jar and wrapped it around in a circular snake pattern and put into the jar.  We then poured nail polish remover into the jar.  You can stick your finger into the hole to remove polish.

We made a raw sugar hand and foot scrub to go along with the polish.  Take 1 cup of raw sugar and add 2 T coconut oil.  Mix around and place into a container .

 To have the smoothest hands or feet apply this with wet hands and rub .   I usually purchase a peppermint foot scrub during the summer months to remove all that yucky heel hardness and that still doesn’t seem to work 100%.  This my friend is amazing.  Try it, you won’t believe at how much better your feet and hands feel.  I absolutely love it and recommend it to everyone.

We put the sugar scrub in a jar and placed it into this cup.  Topped it with a bath pouf and a straw.

This was a hard item to package without spilling things, so we took a cardboard box lid and covered it with wrapping paper on the bottom.  We lay tissue paper inside the lid and put the gifts on top.  
 Simple and easy.
