This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.


Homemade beats canned any day of the week, and spaghetti sauce is no exception. Slow-cooked tomatoes with red wine and spices make a sauce with deep flavor that no store-bought sauce can match.


2 cans (28 ounce size) crushed tomatoes
1 can (12 ounce size) tomato paste
1/2 cup red wine
3 cups water
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
Place all ingredients into crockpot and cook on HIGH for 5 hours - if longer, turn pot down to a lower setting (especially if you have one of the newer ones that tends to boil the sauce rather quickly).
Serve with spaghetti, tortellini, or other pasta, along with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, if you like.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
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.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
