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).

Spread this chive butter on dinner rolls, toss with steamed vegetables, or load up a baked potato. Add some garlic for a tasty flavor variation.
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
Combine the butter and chives in a bowl and mix until well blended. Transfer the butter mixture to a piece of waxed paper and form into a log shape. Roll the waxed paper around the butter. Place in the refrigerator until firm.
To use, slice off amount needed. Store the butter in the refrigerator.

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.

I chopped chives and minced a little garlic into the butter along with the freshly ground pepper. Mixed it thoroughly then piped rosettes on wax paper and refrigerated. Presentation looked very nice. Used it as butter for croissants. Very nice with subtle flavor.
