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).

ingredients
1/3 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
directions
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the salt and milk and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil. Let the mixture boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
When the mixture is cooled to room temperature, add the vanilla. With an electric mixer running, slowly add in the confectioners' sugar. Beat the frosting until it is smooth and thick.
The basic batch of caramel frosting will frost a 9x13-inch cake.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
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.

I was looking for a frosting to go on a banana cake. This did not disappoint! Amazing!

This is a great recipe--not too sweet or too thick. I would recommend having dry ingredients measured out before starting. Also, quickly frost the cake when you're done blending as it hardens very, very quickly! I will definitely make this one again!

I really like this recipe. I have tried other ones but they seemed too thick. I add a little extra butter and powdered sugar. I have the best results when I frost the cake when it is still a little warm. You have to use the frosting quickly because it stiffens up while frosting the cake very quickly.
