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).

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Actually it is very tasty if you like extra sweet granola, the coffee is a nice touch. Baking in the oven it smells great. But. Firstly, it did not stay together enough to even get a any bars. Way to much sugar and honey, and with the coconut and raisins even sweeter. I baked it the full 35 minutes and let it cool 5 minutes, cut the squares, and let it cool completely; only the edges in the corners were solid, but when I got it out of the pan the top separated from the bottom. I tried taking from the middle but the bar fell apart. I ended up crumbling it up and using for granola cereal, with fresh almond milk, it is a nice change, and it is wonderful with yogurt. I was disappointed; sorry for the negative feedback, I would not make this again.
