Single-Serve Pasta Sauce
Who
doesn’t love a homemade pasta dinner every once in a while? The
problem with pasta is that if you are only making it for yourself,
the sauce will often go bad before you can eat it all. Solve this by
pouring a jar of your favorite marinara sauce into an ice cube tray
and freezing it. Next time you make a single serving of pasta, just
reheat a cube and you will have the perfect amount of sauce!

not worry about the flavor becoming diluted.

Strawberries
Strawberries
Chocolate-covered
strawberries are a classic dinner party dessert, but making enough
for all of your guests to enjoy can be tedious and time-consuming. To
speed up the process, fill as many ice cube trays as you need
two-thirds of the way with melted chocolate. Then, place a fresh
strawberry in each slot and stick in the freezer for about an hour.
You know have a delicious, chocolate covered fruit for all to enjoy!
