How to Thaw Frozen Spinach
Frozen spinach works in a pinch. This green plays nice with pasta dishes, meat-based entreés and in your favorite smoothies. To thaw your spinach, place it in a saucepan over medium heat until it softens. Use a colander or sieve to strain out excess liquid.
How to Keep Basil Fresh
Herby and aromatic, fresh basil adds flavor to dishes and a beautiful smell to your kitchen. To keep your basil fresh, remove the leaves from the stems. Wash and dry the leaves and wrap them in a dry paper towel and seal in a plastic bag. They should keep fresh for up to 2 weeks.
