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).

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.
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.

As with many recipes, I never follow them exactly. But this recipe was so good as is that I really haven't made many variations on it. However, when I don't have chicken broth I substitute water and: 1 tsp tumeric pinch dried sage (or 1 small leaf) dash cumin 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes I've also used Kabocha and Acorn squashes. As for the peppers, I get which ever redish peppers I can find at my local farmer's market. Comes out amazing everytime. My man can't believe he likes that "Quacky oat stuff" and vegetables!
