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

Pumpkin pie seasoning with kicks from allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. You'll find uses for it far outside the pie crust. Smoothies, granola, coffee, pancakes - pumpkin spice everything!

1/4 cup ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 1/2 teaspoon dry ginger powder
1 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Combine all the spices and store in an airtight jar. Label as pumpkin pie spice. Will keep for up to a year.

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.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

If you like a spicy pumpkin pie this recipe is for you. The ground cloves and allspice really "kick it up a notch". I love this spice mixture - it is easy to make, it is cheaper than storebought, and it is spicier than storebought.
