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).

Something as basic as a side of green beans is elevated with a simple, effortless sprinkling of toasted nuts. Works wonders for both flavor and textural interest.

ingredients
1 1/2 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped salted pistachio nuts (or toasted pine nuts)
directions
Place green beans in 3-quart saucepan; add enough water to cover. Cook over medium-high heat until water comes to a full boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until green beans are crisply tender (12 to 15 minutes). Drain.
Return beans to pan; add butter and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted (1 to 2 minutes). Sprinkle with pistachio nuts.
cook's notes
You can substitute brussels sprouts for the green beans if desired.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Very easy yet tasty. Adding nuts such as pistachios to veggies really does a lot to dress them up both appearance and taste-wise. This could also easily be made with frozen or canned green beans.
