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.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

I actually found beet borscht at the supermarket. Eww, it looked like it had been sitting on the store shelf for a decade. Regardless, I shook it up and applied it as the marinade and the roast tasted darn good. You've really gotta plan this recipe out in advance, though. Two days of marinating.
