I’m lucky enough to have a husband that cooks. While I don’t really enjoy cooking, I have the ability to make my children decent meals during tax season when my husband isn’t around for dinner. (Decent meals include spaghetti and macaroni and cheese, right?)
There are others out there who might be slightly more culinary challenged. For those people, I give you the following recipes.
I saw a post from a Facebook friend the other day that included a link to this recipe for Ice Cubes:
Ingredients:
2 cups water (approximately)
2 tablespoons water (additional if needed)
Directions:
- Empty the ice cubes that are left in the trays (if there are any left) into the bin.
- Take the trays over to the sink and fill them with cold water.
- Place the water filled ice trays back in the freezer.
- Replace the ice bin if you had to remove it.
- Shut the door to the freezer.
Ingredients:
2 cups water
1 cup ice cube
- Place water in large enough pot to hold 3 cups without boiling over.
- Add ice cubes.
- Turn burner on high.
- Do not watch pot or it will take forever.
- Do not leave unattended or you will burn the house down.
- Bring to a boil.
- Remove pot from burner.
- Turn burner off.
- Use immediately or you will have to repeat recipe.
What is even better than these recipes is the comments on the recipes themselves. (Seriously, there are more than 500 comments.) For example:
This recipe is horrible! Maybe I should have left them in longer than two minutes (the recipe doesn’t say how long to leave them in the freezer so I just kind of guessed) but mine came out all watery. I won’t be making these again.
Oh man, so happy to have this recipe! My grandma died and took the recipe with her. You are a life saver!!
THANK YOU!! my ice maker on my fridge just stopped working, and i missed my ice. I had no idea i could “make” my own. Thank you so much such an amazing recipe!
Made it as per directions. A Little Bland. Thanks for the great recipe.
This was such a great recipe and so simple too. I even doubled the recipe. I know I’ll find many uses for this, thank you for the great post
Great recipe – A family favorite – we have it a couple times a week. The kids love it when I add whole eggs!
Do you have any fun recipes to share?
Specialty pizza from the freezer:
Preheat oven to desired temp…or read directions on the package.
Take out the pizza and unwrap it carefully watching for falling cheese or topping particles to fall on the floor.
Add more cheese when necessary, depending on the pizza.
Place pizza carefully in oven to prevent spillage of cheese or loose toppings from falling onto the oven floor and burning into black coals that will eventually set off the fire alarm.
Set timer for instructed cooking time.
watch and wait…
Take out the pizza carefully, and make sure the gooey cheese that has melted all over the oven rack doesn’t also fall on the oven floor.
Cut with Pizza cutter and serve!!
I recommend having several of these specialty pizzas in the freezer at all times.
Great recipe, Chris. Thanks for sharing! Luckily, I have 3 dogs that help with the falling cheese on the floor.
I found a recipe for a glass of water, but all I had were cups. I’m sure it would have been great!
Darn. Maybe next time! 🙂
NOOOO!!! That’s brilliant.
Oh good. I hope you can use these helpful recipes. 🙂
