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.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

I doubled the recipe for our church's Souper Sunday, leaving out the wine (didn't have it on hand)and added more garlic and got rave reviews! The only mistake in the recipe was not telling you when to add the broth. . .

This soup turned out great! I didn't have any red wine in the house so I omitted that and used chicken broth instead of beef broth. Delicious - thank you!
