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.

Beef and barley is textbook savory goodness, and a pressure cooker makes short work of the barley and thick-cut vegetables. A big bowl of this stew is heaven on a chilly night.

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.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Tasty with added salt and pepper. I substituted orzo for the barley but no other changes. Very nice for a cool fall evening!
