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).

It's like your grandma's sweet potato pie recipe met a gourmet chef - sweet, spiced, and everything nice, minus the lecture on using your phone too much at the dinner table.
2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, whites and yolks separated
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 unbaked 10-inch pastry shell
whipped topping
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, brown sugar, butter, egg yolks, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the evaporated milk and mix on low speed until just combined.
In another mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Slowly beat in the sugar until the egg whites are stiff. Fold the egg white mixture into the sweet potatoes then gently spoon the sweet potato filling into the unbaked pastry shell.
Place the pie in the oven and bake at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 45-50 more minutes or until the pie is set in the middle.
Remove the pie from the oven and let cool on a wire rack then chill, if desired.
Serve with whipped topping.

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
