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.

Looking to spice up your appetizer repertoire? Gene Autry's stuffed mushrooms combine earthy mushrooms with a cheesy filling featuring Swiss and Parmesan. The added kick of Madeira wine rounds out the flavor.
24 large white mushrooms
1/4 cup butter, melted
salt
black pepper
1/2 cup finely minced onions
1/2 cup finely minced shallots
3 tablespoons oil
2/3 cup Madeira wine
1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs
2/3 cup grated Swiss cheese
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2/3 cup minced parsley
1/3 cup whipping cream
Remove stems from mushrooms. Finely mince stems and set aside. Place mushroom caps on baking sheet. Brush caps with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Cook onions and shallots in oil and any remaining butter in skillet over medium heat until tender but not browned, 3-4 minutes.
Add minced mushroom stems to onion mixture. Raise heat to high and saute until liquid is absorbed, 4-6 minutes. Add Madeira and bring to boil. Boil until liquid evaporates. Cool.
Add bread crumbs, Swiss cheese, Parmesan cheeses, and parsley to mushroom mixture. Add enough cream to bind mixture. Adjust seasoning.
Spoon stuffing into mushroom caps on baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F until hot and bubbly, 10-12 minutes.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
