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).


1 can (15 ounce size) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup tahini
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato pesto
2 cloves garlic, minced
extra virgin olive oil, as needed
In the bowl of the food processor, add the beans, tahini, pesto, and garlic. Process until mixture starts to come together.
While the processor runs, begin drizzling in the olive oil, adding as much as necessary to create a smooth paste. Serve pita wedges, vegetables or crackers.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

This easy to make hummus was ready in just a couple of minutes time. The pesto gave it good flavor without the tartness you often get with sun-dried tomatoes. The garlic was mild and not overpowering but if you like your hummus more garlicky feel free to add more. We used about 5 tablespoons of oil but how much you need will also depend on the pesto you use (some are more oily than others).
