ZESTY CROUTONS 
1/4 c. no oil Italian dressing
2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
4 c. shredded wheat & bran (spoon size)

Mix salad dressing, cheese and spices in a large bowl. Stir in shredded wheat until well coated; spread in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet or jelly roll pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes. Spread on absorbent paper to cool. Store in an airtight container.

Microwave: Prepare cereal mixture as above in a 3 quart microwaveable bowl. Microwave at high (100% power) for 6-7 minutes until golden, stirring every 2 minutes. (Makes 4 cups.)

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
