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.

Simple homemade meatballs are shrouded in bacon to make... a super meatball. Hint: we like to brown the meatballs a little first before wrapping in bacon. That ensures that they cook through before the bacon gets too crispy.

1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup cold water
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoned pepper
8 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
Combine the ground beef, water, onion powder, and seasoned pepper in a bowl. Mix well. Form the beef mixture into meatballs using about 2 ounces of beef for each.
Roll a half-slice of bacon around each meatball and secure with toothpicks as needed.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning as needed, until the bacon is crisp and the meatballs are cooked through.
If the meatballs aren't fully cooked, cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 more minutes or as needed.

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.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
