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).

Corn and beans stew with the venison in a tangy tomato sauce for a hearty bowl on a cold day. Garnish with sour cream and scallions for presentation points.

1 pound ground venison
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pint tomato juice
1 can (8 ounce size) tomato sauce
1 can (10 ounce size) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (15 ounce size) pinto or kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 envelope (1.25 ounce size) chili seasoning mix
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the venison, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the venison is browned.
Add the venison mixture to the crock pot along with the remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the flavors have melded.
Serve hot with any desired toppings (sour cream, chopped green onions, minced jalapenos, cheese, etc)

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.
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.

Love this, making again and super easy. Will continue using this recipe. Could add 1 cup diced cooked potatoes if you have some on hand, I did the last time.
