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).


5 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 teaspoon tarragon vinegar
1 pound asparagus, steamed just until tender-crisp
Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the pecans and saute, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the pecans are golden and crisp through. Stir in the tarragon vinegar.
Place the asparagus on serving plates, and spoon the sauce over it. Serve immediately.

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.
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.

I liked this quite a bit. Simple flavors and easy to prepare. The tarragon vinegar added a very nice flavor to it.

Extremely easy to make! The buttery pecans add a nice nutty crunch to the fresh asparagus. The tarragon vinegar helps to balance out the richness of the butter.
