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).

cook's notes
I enjoy the smokiness of chipotle's. They are the smoked jalapeno peppers that have been left to ripen to a red color. The peppers are then smoked and have a sweet smoky flavor. They are also very hot. You will usually find them in the Latino section of your grocery store. They are canned in an adobo sauce which is tomato based. To take some of the heat away, you can open the peppers from the can and scrap the white insides and seeds from the pepper.

crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data

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.
