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.

Frozen veggies never had it so good. Crunchy jicama and a bite from green onions turns some basic frozen vegetables into a healthy, bright tasting salad that'll hold its own as a side dish anywhere.

1 package (16 ounce size) frozen white corn, thawed
1 package (16 ounce size) frozen baby peas, thawed
1 cup chopped peeled jicama
2/3 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup thinly sliced green or red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash white pepper
1 tablespoon snipped fresh mint (opt.)
In a bowl combine corn, peas, jicama, celery, green pepper, and green onions.
In a jar mix together the rice vinegar, brown sugar, parsley, salt, and white pepper; shake well. Pour over salad; toss.
Cover and chill 2 hours. Add mint, if desired.

Delicious recipes for red velvet cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Don't usually try new recipes on special occasions, but needed something less rich so decided to serve as a side dish for Thanksgiving this year & my family especially enjoyed the crispy refreshing taste of the JÃcama! Thank you.

Very good and healthy. A nice salad that everyone likes. Doesn't keep long though so don't chill more than maybe 6 hours or the fresh herbs will sort of melt in it.

Adding lots of fresh ingredients is a great way to dress up frozen veggies. The rice vinegar dressing had perfectly balanced flavors. Loved the crunchy jicama!
