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).

Are you looking for an easy sensory activity for your kids? Magic muck is the perfect solution! This slime-like substance is safe and non-toxic, making it ideal for kids of all ages.

1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup water
5 drops food coloring, any color or combination of colors
add-ins such as glitter, beads, sequins, etc
Mix the cornstarch, water, food coloring, and any additional add-ins in a glass bowl (or other material that won't stain from the food coloring).
Store the muck in an airtight container.
Do not use add-ins with small children as they could be a choking hazard if the muck is accidentally consumed.

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

Cute gunk for the kids to play with. Not sure what they were supposed to do with it though.

I've been making this for over a decade now for various kids I babysit. It takes seconds to make, and is truly magical (solid? liquid? try it and you will see...)
