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).

Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Haven't much been a fan of couscous in the past but enjoyed this recipe a lot. I think most of my trepidation with couscous has been the tiny pearls so I used the larger pearls which seems to be what was used in the photo of this recipe. I liked them a lot better. I could see adding shrimp or chicken to this recipe too to make it a full meal.

This is a very flavorful couscous recipe. Fresh veggies combined with the spices and a little rich vegetable broth are a great way to dress up couscous!
