Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

For a proper plate of fried fish, unseasoned batter just won't cut it. This cornmeal blend with garlic powder and seasoned salt adds a bit of oomph to your fish.

1 package (24 ounce size) self-rising yellow cornmeal mix
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons garlic salt
Combine the cornmeal and seasonings in a zip-top plastic bag and mix well. Seal the bag and store for up to 1 month at room temperature.
To use, mix the seasoned flour mixture with just enough milk to create a batter. Dip fish fillets in flour first then into the batter mixture. Fry in hot oil, as desired.

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).
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

This is a very good batter. We use it to make fish fingers. Nice and crisp.
