Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

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.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

This is basically how I have been making Spanish Rice all along. I usually add browned ground beef to it for my stuffed peppers and any variety of sauteed meat and stuff my enchiladas. I make a big batch and freeze.
