It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

A bit of wine for the marinade, the rest with dinner! You can boil the herbed marinade until reduced and use it as a sauce to top off the steak.

1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cup red wine
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Combine the olive oil, red wine, basil, thyme, black pepper, onion, and garlic in a zip-top plastic bag or non-reactive container.
Add the steak and let marinate in the refrigerator for 4-10 hours. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill or cook the steak as desired. Discard the marinade.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Pretty yummy! It did a competent job making cheap meat taste good and tender! It smelled wonderful too! I would use it again. After marinating the steak over night we broiled it for lunch. It may be a good idea not to leave it in the marinade too long as it may fully take over the flavor and texture of the meat, unless of course thatââ¬â¢s what you want.
