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.


1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoon margarine or butter
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup dry sherry or chicken broth
2 teaspoons dried minced onions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup instant rice
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Cook and stir garlic in hot margarine in large skillet 1 minute. Add mushrooms and red pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes.
Add broth, water, sherry, onion flakes and salt. Bring to a boil. Stir in rice. Cover. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes.
Fluff with fork. Sprinkle with grated cheese and parsley. Garnish as desired.

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.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Love the combination of sherry and mushrooms so adding them to a rice dish seems quite appropriate. The recipe was really simple and full of flavor. And using instant rice makes this a quick recipe too!
