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.

Mashed rutabaga serves as the base for a buttery, mushroom-infused dish. This nutritious side is high in fiber and provides an alternative to traditional mashed potatoes.

1 medium rutabaga, peeled and sliced
6 tablespoons butter, divided
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Place the rutabaga in a pan of salted water over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, about 30 minutes.
Drain the rutabaga. Place in a mixing bowl with half of the butter and mash until smooth.
In a skillet, add the remaining butter and heat over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are soft and browned.
Combine the mushrooms and rutabaga. Stir well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
