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).

Add remaining ingredients, except for the ham, and cook, covered, for about two hours. Peas should be very tender and falling apart.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

This is the easiest and best split pea soup I have ever had, I think it is the cayenne. It can be done as vegetarian by omitting the ham so everyone can enjoy it. Served with biscuits it is my family's favorite comfort food!
