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.

Fried brussels sprouts are the perfect side for a comfort food meal. These are easy as could be, just sprouts fried in olive oil with some crushed garlic cloves. Crunchy and irresistible.

1 pound brussels sprouts (fresh is best, but frozen will do)
olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
If you're using fresh brussels sprouts, remove any bruised, wilted, or discolored outer leaves, and trim the stems. If you're, using frozen brussels sprouts; just thaw them.
In a heavy-bottomed pot or skillet, heat 1/2 inch of olive oil over a medium flame. Add the brussels sprouts and fry them,stirring occasionally, until they are very dark brown all over-you really want them just about burned.
For the last minute or so, add the garlic and stir it around well. Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the sprouts before the garlic burns: Unbelievable!

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.
