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).

You'll be eating plenty polenta with this as your go-to recipe. Cornmeal and butter with a touch of paprika and cayenne churns out a polenta that can be served warm and creamy or cooled in slices and browned.

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 dash cayenne pepper
6 cups boiling water
2 cups cornmeal
2 teaspoons salt
Grease the crock pot with half of the melted butter.
Combine the remaining butter, paprika, cayenne, water, cornmeal, and salt in the crock pot. Stir well to combine.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours, or 2 hours on high, stirring occasionally.
Serve the polenta warm.
Or, spread the cooked polenta into a greased loaf pan and chill until set. When firm, cut into slices and brown in a skillet on both sides before serving.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
