Food Ice Cubes - Might be a new idea for you !

For the person that has never seen this done before, I thought I would share my most recent cube idea.

In my family, we don't use any dressing on our salads except for oil and vinegar; however, our grandson loves ranch dressing.  Since I never know when he will be eating dinner with us, I know that he likes ranch dressing on just about everything.  Personally, I prefer the homemade ranch dressing and since it does not have a lot of preservatives in it (like bottled dressing does) I was making it from scratch and throwing it away every couple of weeks.

I then remembered my dad, Bob.  He used to make food cubes back in the 1970's.  I know for a fact, that if he would have known what we all know today from the +foodnetwork, he would have owned a food network himself.  He was so ahead of his time;  I mean on a lot of things.  I love sharing these things with you on my blog and I am very proud to give him the credit.

He used to make Au Jus and only thicken some of it for the dinner we were having and whatever he didn't thicken, he would pour into ice cube trays and freeze.  Then when he needed a little beef flavor for something, he would pull a cube out. 

So, getting back to my ranch dressing, I poured it into ice cube trays and froze it.  Now, when he comes to visit I can just thaw a cube out and put on his food.

I hope you like this idea and share my blog with your friends.  Please come to my Facebook page so you can get videos and other photos of my food during the preparation.
