Reader Cheryl e-mailed in another great frugal idea for French Toast Sticks:
“You can also use day old hot dog buns to make these. Split the bun in half and then cut the halves in half. You have 4 pieces of bun. Dip in the egg mixture and cook. Voila – French Toast Sticks!”
If you missed the other idea for making French Toast Sticks, be sure to check that out!
Thanks, Cheryl!

My mom used to use hamburger buns to do french toast! Those were the days! *sniff, ha!
Thanks for the tip- ususually I end up just tossing them. I never thought about using them in this way!!
Sometimes I use day-old hot dog buns to make garlic bread. Split the buns in half, then spread a mixture of spreadable butter/margarine, garlic powder, and dried parsley on the surface of the buns. Bake at 350 F oven for a few minutes (I usually check it after about 4-5 minutes), until the buttered surface is not "soggy". You can also put a little bit of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the butter mixture -- the cheese will melt in the oven to make cheesy garlic bread. Yum! :)
