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).
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.

My family all liked this recipe and I would do it again. I mostly followed this recipe with few exceptions. Added corn and used a tomato mixture that I had from my summer garden that included a bunch of herbs blended together instead of tomatoe juice. Chopped tomatoes would also be good. I would improve on it by adding some cajun spices as we prefer spicy food. You can replace the clam broth with some chicken broth if you don't have any on hand. But very yummy, a complete meal for us with a fresh bread and fruits for desserts.
