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.

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.

I doubled the recipe and have made it 3 times. After the first time, I reduced the sugar to 1 cup/loaf and it was still plenty sweet. I used King Arthur white whole wheat flour. Everyone loves this bread/dessert!
