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).

crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

This recipe sounds so delicious but in order for it to turn out right, I think you need to follow it to the T. I used homemade cooked tomatoes instead of canned. The end product was too acidic for my taste (sour and bitter). I tried adding brown sugar and honey, but it just wasn't right. I would recommend not adding the lemon, as it only increased the acidity to the recipe. Some extra Kidney or other kind of Branson would be good too.
