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).

Let's face it: flavor makes everything better. This all-purpose spice rub is your new secret weapon in the battle against bland food.

3/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup ground black pepper
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 6 months.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Used this rub on beef brisket (five pounds). Coated thoroughly, rubbed into meat, refrigerated overnight. Seared brisket in two tablespoons of olive oil, placed in slow cooker with one can of beef broth, cooked about six hours. absolutely delicious! Recommend this one *****
