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).
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

I made these christmas pickles last year and I used too much clove. The recipe doesn't tell you how much clove or cinnamon to use, so if anyone knows please post it. I want to make them again, they were good but a bit overpowering and I don't remember how much clove I used last year.
