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).

A slow-cooker is your best bet for an all-day clam chowder that you don't have to keep an eye on. Evaporated milk and cream of mushroom soup do the trick for an ultra-creamy chowder.

4 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup chopped onion
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 can (10.75 ounce size) cream of mushroom soup
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cans (12 ounce size) evaporated milk
1 cup water
1 can (6 ounce size) minced clams
Add the bacon, potatoes, onion, carrot, cream of mushroom soup, black pepper, evaporated milk, and water to the crock pot. Mix gently.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 3 hours. Stir in the clams and their liquid and cook for 30 more minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Serve the cream of mushroom clam chowder hot.

In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.
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.
