Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

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).
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.

Found this recipe after a botched attempt to freeze pears, then make a tart out of them. Turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Thank you so much :)

This is delicious served with fresh-baked apple pie...I served it at an autumn harvest party and it was the hit of the entire menu. It has a caramelized pear taste that would go perfectly with a variety of desserts--fruit pastries, chocolate, or even fresh fruit. The pear flavor is amazing!!!
