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.


Why buy Italian seasoning at the store when you can whip it together yourself? Eight common household spices are ground up together to make this seasoning that'll store for months.


2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons dried marjoram
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons dried cilantro
2 tablespoons dried thyme
2 tablespoons dried rosemary
2 tablespoons dried savory
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or spice grinder. Process for 30 seconds or until the spices are finely ground.
Pour the seasoning mix into an airtight container. Store away from heat for up to 6 months. Use anywhere calling for Italian seasoning.

Just used up the last of this and came back to get the recipe to make another batch. I used it on everything - very handy spice mix!
