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.

The simple blend of pepper and onion makes for a quick veggie side dish that goes well with almost anything.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 green or red bell pepper or combination, seeded and sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pinch dried oregano or basil
salt and pepper, to taste
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Season to taste with oregano or basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well, cook for 1-2 more minutes, then serve immediately.

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.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
