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).

I decided to try this even though there was one rating that was only 1* so added some garlic to make it tastier. I have to agree with the other rating. It was still tasteless. We love artichokes so just knew this would be wonderful.

Terrible! Waste of money considering the cost of fresh crab. The result was tasteless and thick. I served it on Christmas Eve and no one of the nine guests asked for more, nor did they finish what was served.
