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).

Scrambled eggs with a hint of Mexicana
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped white onion
1/2 cup jarred cactus strips, drained and rinsed
4 large eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 large tomato, sliced
2 tablespoons crumbled cotija cheese
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and cactus strips until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes. (The cactus strips will retain their texture as they cook with the onion.)
Add the eggs and stir slowly to scramble. Cook until set, about 2 to 3 minutes, or to desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with sliced tomato on the side and scatter cheese over all.

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.
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.

I don't normally get overly excited about scrambled eggs but this was just such a delicious change from your usual varieties. I did cut up the cactus a bit (not chopped, just not the long strands it came in). So good and so easy!
