nutrition data
Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.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.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Nice change to typical ham & pea dinner. Recipe didn't say how it was to be served, so we put the pea sauce over the ham slice. I guess could be served in seperate dish. Next time may add fresh mushrooms & maybe even almond slivers to pea sauce
