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).

No need to drag out the deep fryer for these tasty nuggets. They are just like regular hush puppies but are baked in muffin tins instead of deep frying.

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup melted fat or oil
Sift dry ingredients together. Add remaining ingredients and stir only until blended.
Place approximately 1 tablespoon batter into well greased small muffin tin wells. Place muffin pans on sheet of aluminum the size of the pan to prevent over browning.
Bake in hot oven, 425 degrees F, for 15-20 minutes.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Look yummy...must bake some. What is the difference between "Cornbread" and "Hushpuppies"?
Cornbread is, well, a bread. It's usually baked in a pan and served cut in squares. Hushpuppies contain some similar ingredients but they are usually deep fried as bite-sized pieces.
