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.

Fresh flavors without a lot of work. This easy to toss together meal can be made ahead of time. Package the dressing and chips separately and it makes a great lunch to take to work or school.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Scaled this recipe up to serve 25 people. Assembled it in individual bowls. Huge hit!

This recipe was so good! My cold taco salads used to keep turning out warm, but now I know I just need to cool the meat after I cook it! Thanks. Now if I could only find someone willing to eat with me.

This is one of those I-don't-feel-like-cooking-but-don't-want-junk-food recipes. It's simple, tasty, and not very fattening! The only thing we would do differently is substitute salsa for the french dressing for a zestier salad. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole on individual servings. For more taco flavor, add taco seasoning to the ground beef (as if making tacos). The nice thing about this recipe is you can adjust the flavors very easily!
