      I froze a bag full off whloe limes recently and stuck it in the microwave to defost one yesterday. Worked well. Other times previously I juice them and freeze in ice-cube bags.

      ^^This, but I like mine in Coronas :drinker:

      Seriously, though, I'd make limeade. And a bunch of cilantro lime rice, and a Nesco full of carnitas served with avocado and lime wedges. And Coronas...FIESTA!!

      I like to make limeade or do what the above poster said of diet coke and rum. :bigsmile: But I also like to use it in guac, on chicken and fish, for salsa or pico de gallo, in my water, or just sliced and rolled in some rough sugar and suck on them. YUM.

      Ignorant me! I didn't think about freezing them whole. Thanks a bunch.

      I love margaritas & coronas with lime, but the Duke of Piglet doesn't favor either, so I'm on my own with using these bad boys up. I try to limit my adult beverage consumption on "school" nights and 10 limes makes for LOTSA lime wedges.
      It's a problem I'm happy to have! :bigsmile:

      Idk if u ever made the easy cake covered with lemon glaze?

      I see no reason this could not work with limes, bake vanilla cake in 13x9 inch pan. Make lime juice and powdered sugar into a glaze. Poke holes in warm cake with forks or skewers...pour lime glaze on top. Cool.

      If I made this I think I'd top it with whip cream and see if some candied lime peel came out tasty for garnish.

      Having this as I type - Yummy!

      The Key Lime Protein Shake is blended with half an avocado, juice of a lime, 2 tsp lime zest, 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder, 1 T coconut, a cup of milk, and 1-2 packets of Stevia (optional).

      Limeade: sugar, water, and limes.

      Also, tequila is a good idea.

      Vodka, Soda, triple sec, and ice!

      If you're not a big drinker, definitely guac & the below recipe:

      Tequila?

      That would be a lot of shots. She should invite some friends and share some of those limes.

      Squeeze the limes in with fajita seasoning and marinate chicken thighs with it. Add a little olive oil too.

      This salad is delicious and is supposed to use 4 limes. To be honest, I think that's a bit excessive and would probably use 2-3, but it still helps.

      You can mix it up and add extra vegetables as well. I added radishes and red pepper last time I made it.

      On behalf of all lime owners, I thank each and every one of you.

      Except those "lime in coconut" floozies. Shame on you for infecting me with that ear bug!!!

      I'm definitely a floozy. And I may or may not have put a lime in a coke before getting pregnant. Correlation????

      WARNING: Drinking before pregnancy has been linked to pregnancy :wink: True for me, at least :drinker:
