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.

No cube steak? No problem. This version of chicken fried steak is made with ground beef patties that are coated with a cracker crumb crust before frying.

1 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 cups finely crushed saltine crackers, divided
1/2 cup oil, for frying
Combine the ground beef, parsley, chili powder, salt, egg and half of the cracker crumbs in a bowl. Mix until combined.
Form the meat mixture into patties.
Place the remaining cracker crumbs in a shallow dish. Press both sides of the beef patties into the crumb mixture, coating them thoroughly. Place the coated beef on a wax paper lined plate or tray and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken fried steak and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the skillet and serve hot with your favorite gravy.

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!
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
