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 one-dish skillet meal made with ground beef, onion, rice and barbecue sauce.
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 3/4 cup water
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 cups instant white rice, uncooked
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the water and barbecue sauce to the skillet. Bring to a boil.
Stir the rice into the skillet. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to a low simmer. Let cook for 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and sprinkle beef and rice with the cheese. Cover the skillet and turn off the heat. Let sit for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Serve hot.

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.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

I thought it was good. However, I would go a little less BBQ sauce, or a quite mild tasting one. Maybe some green peppers? haha I have a feeling this would be good cold, or on a bun kinda thing.
