This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

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.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I don't think I"ll ever eat macaroni and cheese any other way! I am hooked on this recipe. I've made it three times now - in the past few weeks!

I love this recipe! It satisfies my weekly craving for blue cheese... I have made this dish four times now and it's great every time. It is easy to prepare and my frinds love it too.

Lovely recipe thank you! Very tasty - of course you have to LIKE blue cheese to enjoy a 'Blue Cheese' sauce, the hints in the name!!

I have made this recipe 3 times now and each time it turns out better than the last! You definitely need to like bleu cheese and I omit the chives because I never seem to have them at home. It doesn't seem to make a difference though because I've made it for partys and it's always a crowd pleaser. I should also add that I am not a great cook and I don't cook more than a few times a week and this recipe was really easy.

Terible it was one of the worst things I have ever tried! My kids hated it just as much as I did!
Can you be more specific? WHY didn't you like it? Your review doesn't help anyone unless you can give more information than this
