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.

The night before Thanksgiving or other big family event, make this easy recipe for mashed potatoes. This is a great way to cut down on your cooking time during these busy times because all you have to do is heat up the potatoes. You'll be able to focus on more important things like getting everything else done around the house instead of spending hours making everything from scratch.
serves/makes:
ready in:
over 5 hrs
over 5 hrs
ingredients
10 potatoes, peeled
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut in bits
directions
Add the peeled potatoes to a large pan of boiling water. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain well.
Beat the potatoes lightly with an electric mixer (just enough to break them up a bit). Add the cream cheese and sour cream. Beat until just smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes in the prepared dish. Dot evenly with the butter. Cover the dish tightly with foil and refrigerate until the next day. The potatoes can also be frozen at this stage, just thaw before baking.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Place the potatoes in the oven and bake, covered, for 15 minutes at 325 degrees F. Remove the foil and bake for 20 more minutes or until heated through.
Serve hot.

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).
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!
