Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Brussels sprouts hater? Try them this way. The texture is completely different than usual and they have a naturally slightly sweet flavor that really shines through.
2 pounds Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large sweet white onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Check Brussels sprouts, and remove any yellow or spotted outer leaves. Cut each across equator into about 1/8-inch slices. Use a sharp knife or the slicing disk attachment of a food processor.
Use your finger to separate rounds into shreds. Set aside. Chop onion. Set aside.
Heat a heavy 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to hot pan, and then add onions. Saute onions until limp but not brown, 1-2 minutes. Add a handful of the shredded Brussels sprouts.
Saute, tossing to coat with oil. Add another handful and continue until all have been added. Saute until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes total cooking time. Color should remain bright green. Do not overcook.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix well. Taste. Adjust seasoning if needed. Cover until ready to serve. Serve hot.

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).
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

This is a great way to eat Brussels sprouts. It is, however, a bit of work. I used the slicer attachment on my food processor. It's hard to make sure the sprouts get sliced "across the equator" that way, but the end result is still good and shredded.
