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.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I just made this for Christmas lunch tomorrow which I will heat up in the microwave....it is soooooo good. The only change I did was used 1 tsp instead of 1 TBSP of cinnamon. Oh yeah, I used red and white Quinoa...I am on a Quinoa kick!!!!

A nice change from the usual rice or pasta side dish. The onion and chicken broth balance out the sweetness of the cranberries.
