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).

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Part of CDKitchen's 2005 Thanksgiving Menu. Outstanding. Definitely worth the time it takes to make. Not overly sweet or heavy, yet truly decadent. We highly recommend this cheesecake.
