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).

under 30 minutes
ingredients
1 pound acorn squash, seeded and cut in 2 inch squares
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon hon-dashi powder
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon mirin
1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
directions
Shave off the skin in spots on the squash to make it look decorative and give the broth flavor a chance to permeate.
Combine water, hon-dashi, sugar and mirin in a saucepan, add squash pieces and boil covered 7-8 minutes, turning the pieces once halfway through cooking.
Add soy sauce and boil covered 7-8 minutes longer or until tender, turning pieces again halfway through.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
