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).

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
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.

I used chicken thigh meat because I was going to cook this for the 8 hours and I find it holds up better than white meat. Didn't really notice much difference between chicken taco seasoning and regular taco seasoning so if you can't find it don't worry. The flavor was good but the rice can get mushy. If you prefer a firmer rice texture you might want to cook it separately and add it during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Very good dish! I made a couple of alterations--I couldn't find chicken taco seasoning, so I just added a regular taco seasoning. When I served it, I sprinkled a Mexican cheese mix over the top and added a little sour cream. Delicious!
We're not really sure what the difference is between regular taco seasoning and chicken taco seasoning, but this recipe is on our testing menu this week and we did actually find chicken taco seasoning in our local supermarket. We'll report back on any noticeable difference between the seasonings.
