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.

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).
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

Part of CDKitchen's 2005 Thanksgiving Menu. This recipe probably received the most rave reviews of anything on our menu. Not exactly heart-healthy, but neither is its traditional sweet potato marshmallow casserole counterpart. The oranges kept the flavor from being overly sweet making this a very enjoyable side dish to our meal. It's also an extremely easy dish to prepare.
