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.

How about cheesy spinach manicotti for some make-ahead magic? Shells stuffed with spinach, spices, and three different cheeses are perfect for night-before prep or even to toss in the freezer for later.

I can't believe how simple this recipe is! And it tastes great. I'd never done an overnight pasta dish and was worried it would be mushy, but it wasn't. Does anyone know if you could freeze this and then cook it after it thaws? I would love to find a way to keep one on hand in the freezer.

My husband and I were having a large dinner party so made this recipe for 24 and it was perfect. I made it, a salad, buttered the garlic bread, dessert and set the tables the night before. It was perfect, everyone loved it and I was able to spend my time being a hostess.
