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.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

This recipe always gets positive to excellent results from guests to our table. We find it one of the best also: flavor, texture, ease of preparation and, a bonus, lasting quality stored in refrigerator. People always ask me for this recipe.

This is a wonderful dish for a picnic in the summer heat. I always buy my coleslaw at the Amish Market, but this time I didn't make it to the market in time. I am so grateful that this recipe was posted on this website. Thank you for a great recipe for those who don't want to use mayo.
I first found this dish at Country Market,they told me it was Amish coleslaw, so I have been looking for the recipe and finally found one, this dish is very good and with out all the mayo.

My daughter found this recipe for us to try. It's better than regular cole slaw made with mayonnaise! We took it to a pot luck and was told by someone there, that didn't like cole slaw, that she had had 4 helpings! She also asked for the recipe, as did several others. Be sure not to make this in a plastic (Tupperware type) bowl, as I would be afraid of it melting. Thank you! YUM :)
