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).

In between filming Marvel movies, Scarlett Johansson enjoys cooking and one of her famous go-to recipes this tasty banana bread. It's simple to make and it freezes great.

1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 small mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs
1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Lightly grease the bottom only of a 9-1/4 by 5-1/4 by 2-3/4 inch loaf pan. Set aside.
In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except small chocolate chips and walnuts; blend well on medium speed. Stir in small chocolate chips and walnuts.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 60 to 65 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely.
