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

The pork was perfectly done. Very tender and the simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and oregano was all it needed. The sauce was easy to prepare, but the predominant flavor was cilantro. With all those fantastic flavors melding in the sauce, it would have been nice to taste more of them. We'd cut down the cilantro (which is a powerful flavor in most recipes) to 2 tablespoons at the most. Or, we'd even omit it! It wasn't a bad sauce, we just really expected to have a more varied flavor (especially with the title "Sunflower Seed Sauce"!) Still giving the recipe 5 stars as it really was delicious overall. Note: goes great on flour tortillas, fajita style!
