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).

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
5 eggs

directions
Stir together ground hazelnuts and butter. Press the mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

Turn the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pan. Bake in a 350 degrees F. oven for 1 hour or until the center appears nearly set when gently shaken. Cool for 15 minutes in pan on wire rack.
Loosen from side of pan. Cool for 30 minutes more. Remove side of the pan. Cool. Chill the cheesecake at least 4 hours before serving.
Beat whipping cream with the 2 tablespoons hazelnut liqueur. Serve the flavored whipped cream with the cheesecake. Makes 16 servings.
*Note: You can use almonds instead of hazelnuts and substitute amaretto for the hazelnut liqueur, if you like.

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!
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
