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


The best solution for wintertime taco Tuesday. Top off the spicy, beefy chili with a bit of cheese and dip away with tortilla chips. Works beautifully with chicken or chorizo too, so you can switch up the soup to match your favorite tacos.


2 pounds ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cans Mexican style stewed tomatoes
15 ounces can pinto beans (or jalapeno pinto beans)
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can mixed vegetables
1 envelope taco seasoning mix
1 envelope Ranch dressing mix
2 cups water
Brown beef with onions. Drain fat, place meat and onions in large soup pot, add salt, pepper, tomatoes, beans, corn, mixed vegetables, taco seasoning, ranch dressing mix and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer about 30 minutes.

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.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

Pretty good. Recommend using 1.5 envelopes of Taco Seasoning. 1 envelope seemed a little weak for my taster.
