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.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

We substituted onions for the leeks and feta for the goat cheese. Omitted the walnuts, did not have any on hand and this was super!!! We will be having this again. We were burned out on the portabella mushrooms but will be eating them again.
