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).


4 boneless pork chops (3/4-inch thick)
1 can (15 ounce size) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup salsa or picante sauce
1 cup picante sauce
1 can (4 ounce size) chopped green chilies, undrained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
vegetable oil
sour cream (optional)
In a medium bowl, combine black beans, salsa, chiles, cilantro, chili powder and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush chops lightly with oil and brown on each side. Remove chops.
Add bean mixture to skillet and bring to boiling. Return chops to skillet, cover tightly and cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes or until chops are just done.
Serve chops with bean mixture, with sour cream if desired.

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.
