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 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup pure 100% pumpkin puree
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease baking sheets.
Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and gradually add sugar. Add beaten eggs and pumpkin, mixing well. Blend in sifted ingredients until well mixed. Add chocolate chips.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheets, spacing well apart. Bake on top rack of oven for 15 minutes.

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.
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.
