I like to buy lemons or limes when they go on sale but then never seem to use them up. Slice them and stick them in the freezer to add to iced tea, water, or any other cocktails you might like them for!

Thank you! I love my zester, I generally zest lemons to add a bit of hidden flavor to blueberry things, but always have too much zest (we eat A LOT of lemons). Thanks for these instructions!

My husband doesn’t come up with many ideas, but if I suggest anything he rolls with it! I love a husband willing to help out in any regard to this!

Lemon zest is also yummy in fish fillets baked with cream in the oven or in buttermilk shakes. I know, it sounds strange, but it tastes like cheesecake.

Love the post. I told my husband a couple months ago that we should try to not waste any food at all and coming from a family of 5 he was all for it as they never wasted a morsal of food. I came home last night and proudly told me how he ate the rest of the lettuce, ranch dressing, crackers for croutons and turkey meat in the fridge for a salad, then proceeded to give me a cheese and crackers snack idea for the kids to use up the enormous amounts of sliced cheese and ritz crackers we have from my couponing stockpiles. It makes it fun when your spouse in on board with the ideas also.

I think the liquidy bits and the onion are the best part. I’ll add foods that need to be used up but my favorite input is onions only.
