In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.

What better flavor to capture summer than fresh melon, and what better way than gelato to make it into a warm-weather treat. These colorful scoops are ultra-easy in the ice cream maker.

1 1/2 pound fresh-cut cantaloupe, honeydew or watermelon, seeds removed
2 cups water
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Combine the melon, water, sugar, and lemon juice in food processor. Process until thick and smooth.
Transfer the mixture to the ice cream maker canister and process according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Store the gelato in an airtight container in the freezer.

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).
