What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
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).

This is pretty close to the real Chicken Fricasse recipe. But what will give the distinct fricasse flavor is the bay leaves and the wine. Also, add 3 garlic cloves (what is a tropical dish without garlic?!) Add 3 bay leaves and 1/4 cup of red wine. You will have a supperb sauce that will combine perfectly with the white rice.... Enjoy!
