These Aren't Your Mothers 13 Food Hacks

Your mother has some good food hacks. These aren't them.

1. Clip your chip

If you don't you may end up with stale chips. Fish work surprisingly well for clipping your chips.

2. Cut the corn off the cob

You usually don't eat the cob so why put it on the plate? With a sharp knife you can quickly cut the corn kernels right off the cob and eat them with a fork or spoon.

3. Cook your fish

If you can wait to get back to shore after a long day of deep sea fishing, throw your fish onto the BBQ. This also works with shrimp!

4. Not your mothers cupcakes

Cupcakes can be shaped like other things. In the example above the cupcakes are shaped like Minions™. This is just one example of how you can decorate cupcakes. Use your imagination!

5. Take a pictrure, it will last longer

Just don't squeeze too hard.

11. Make a christmas jack o' lantern

You can make jack o' lanterns out of other things.

12. Worms

This might sound gross at first, but they have lots of B vitamins.

13. Waffles in a pinch

If you don't have a waffle iron, you can improvise with a simple pan. Just poor your waffle batter into a hot pan. Wait until the underside gets golden brown, then flip it over. Wait a little more.

Instant home made waffles without an expensive waffle iron. Sure they don't have the signature waffle ridges, but they taste the same!
