Evinrude!

I can't see a dragonfly without thinking of the adorable dragonfly named Evinrude in Disney's The Rescuers.

  • Green grapes with a dragon fly cupcake pick
  • Carrots with ranch
  • Hershey's minature candy bar

    Cute! I have a question though - what do you do with the leftover bread and crust? I made breadcrumbs a few times, but didn't end up using them much! Are there any other ideas to use the leftover bread?
