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.


1 1/2 package (8 ounce size) light cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup icing sugar
7 tablespoons Marsala wine (Italian dessert wine)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 pint ripe strawberries
3/4 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder or instant coffee
2 1/4 packages (3.5 ounce size) lady finger style cookies
1 ounce bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, grated
Blend cream cheese, icing sugar and 5 tablespoons Marsala in processor until smooth. Mix in sour cream. Slice half of the strawberries. Cut all remaining strawberries in half.
Combine boiling water, sugar and espresso powder in medium bowl; stir to dissolve. Mix in remaining 2 tablespoons Marsala. Dip one lady finger briefly into espresso mixture, turning to coat.
Place flat side up in bottom of 8 inch square glass baking dish with 2 inch high sides. Repeat with enough lady fingers to cover bottom of baking dish, trimming biscuits to fit.

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.
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.
