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.

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

This is a very very good cake. It's pretty easy to make I followed the ingredients except I used chunk pineapple ( the last time I made it with crushed I couldn't taste the pineapple) & it was wonderful. If you like carrot cake you'll love this Thanks for the recipe. Duane
