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.

Macaroni and pizza were both Italian to start out with, but a combination of the two is totally American. A mac n' cheese crust topped with pizza toppings is sure to be a hit with the kids.

CRUST
1 2/3 cup elbow macaroni
4 ounces American cheese slices, cut into strips
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil
TOPPINGS
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
16 slices pepperoni
For Crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until tender but still firm, 6-8 minutes. Drain pasta.
While pasta is still warm, return it to the saucepan and toss with American cheese and eggs.
Lightly brush a 12" pizza pan or ovenproof skillet with oil. Spread pasta mixture in the pan, pressing firmly with the back of a wooden spoon. Bake crust for 10 minutes.
For Toppings: Spread tomato sauce evenly over the pasta, leaving a 1" border around the edges. Sprinkle with garlic and oregano, then top with mozzarella. Place pepperoni slices on pizza in a spiral pattern.
Bake pizza until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

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

This was very good. The kids were enthused that it looked like a pizza and tasted somewhat like one as well, of course. I recommend this recipe.
