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.

These pecan pralines come straight from the heart of Louisiana's culinary heritage, offering that well-known balance of richness and nuttiness.

2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup chopped pecans
In a large, heavy saucepan, cook sugar, baking soda, buttermilk, and butter to soft ball stage (240 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Stir frequently while cooking.
When mixture reaches soft ball stage, remove from heat and beat until mixture lightens in color and thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla and pecans.
Drop by scant tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet. Allow to cool completely and harden for at least 12 hours.

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).
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
