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).

Because even potatoes deserve to dress up. Whip up these baked spuds with cream cheese and watch them go from humble to haute cuisine.

2-5 hrs
ingredients
4 large baking potatoes
1 package (8 ounce size) cream cheese, at room temperature
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 eggs
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut in bits
directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Scrub the potatoes and place in the oven. Bake at 400 degrees F for 40 minutes or until baked.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and cut in half. Let cool. Scoop out the potato flesh and place in a bowl (discard the skins).
Add the cream cheese to the bowl and beat the potato mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
Add the onion, egg, flour, salt, and pepper and beat until well combined.
Decrease the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
Spoon the potato mixture into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
Dot the top of the potatoes with the butter. Cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees F for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 20 more minutes or until lightly browned.
The potato mixture can be frozen before baking. Cool it completely then cover and freeze. If cooking from frozen, let the potatoes thaw completely then proceed with the baking time above.

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.
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.
