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.

Cauliflower is such an easy veggie to saute up into a side dish at a moment's notice, especially with the convenience of frozen florets. Adding in a chopped handful oil-packed, sun-dried tomatoes gives the side dish a Mediterranean flair and keeps it light.

1 pound frozen cauliflower florets
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup finely minced red onion
1/4 cup julienne sun-dried tomatoes in oil
salt and pepper, to taste
sunflower seeds, optional
Thaw cauliflower as directed on package. Drain off any excess water.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thawed cauliflower and cook, stirring for 1-2 minutes. Let the cauliflower cook for 2-3 more minutes, stirring occasionally, or until just lightly browned. Stir in the garlic and red onion.
Remove the cauliflower from the pan and place in a bowl. Add the sun-dried tomatoes. Mix and season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle with sunflower seeds.
You can use fresh cauliflower as well. Just cook it in boiling water for 5 minutes or until softened but not mushy. Drain well and proceed with the recipe.

Great taste! Liked that it looked so good to eat, too, instead of just white.
