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 can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

Not a big fan of tofu, but as one ingredient among many in a soup I find it to be all right. You might want to shred the spinach before you put it in the pot, as it really retains its heat and can burn your lips/tongue in large-leaf form if the soup's too hot. Otherwise, very delicious overall!
