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 beer cheese spread is the life of the party... on a cracker. Perfectly tangy, creamy, and a hint of malty goodness.

8 ounces mild cheddar cheese, shredded
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 green onion, finely minced
1/4 cup beer, at room temperature
1 dash cayenne pepper
Combine the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, green onion, beer, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the cheese mixture is light and fluffy.
Transfer the beer cheese spread to a ramekin or bowl. Serve immediately or if serving later, store in the refrigerator, covered. Let the cheese spread come to room temperature before serving.
Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents like potato starch or cellulose, which can create a gritty or lumpy texture. Freshly grated cheese has a higher moisture content, making it ideal for recipes that require a creamy, rich texture.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
