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.

common recipe questions
Is this breakfast healthy?
Apples contain fiber and Vitamin C. Pears are also an excellent source of fiber, they also have copper (good for the immune system), and have a low glycemic index. Bananas are well known for their potassium and Vitamin B6. Almonds, while calorie-dense, contain good sources of vitamin E, magnesium, and riboflavin.

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.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
