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.
Cabbage and Noodles (Haluski)

What's haluski? It's a traditional Eastern and Central European dish made with just four ingredients! It's great with sour cream or cottage cheese and makes a perfect, comforting compliment to sausage or kielbasa.

ingredients
1 head cabbage sliced 2x1-inch pieces
2 medium onions coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cup butter, may need more
1 package (12 ounce size) cooked medium egg noodles
salt and pepper to taste
directions
Melt one cup of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Add the cabbage and remaining butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft.
Add the noodles. If the mixture is dry, add additional butter. Mix well so the butter coats everything. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve warm.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
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).

My mama made this with browned butter. She also added shredded mild cheddar cheese and she would also slice local smoked sausage into rings and saute them before adding anything else. What went into the Haluski depended on how much money she had!! Sometimes it was cabbage noodles and butter only!

I have Slovak heritage. My mother and grandmother used to make this dish and passed thier recipe down to my wife. Some differences are use bacon grease instead of butter and use kaluski noodles (like a thick egg noodle). After you plate the haluski top it with cottage cheese. Serve with sausage or kielbasa to round the meal. A very tasty ethnic meal.

I needed an easy side dish and had few ingredients on hand. This turned out good. A little on the plain side so I added some caraway seeds and cracked black pepper which spruced it up quite a bit.

Add some caraway seeds and paprika, and this dish is complete. Oh, plus a dollop of sour cream on top, when serving....

Been trying to duplicate my MILs halusky for years. This is the closest I've come. I think it's the amount of butter that I've had wrong in the past. Not heart healthy but very tasty!

This is exactly the dish I grew up with. Very good and easy to make.
Great recipe. The key to the best haluski though (as taught to me by my mother) is you must brown your butter. It really makes the haluski great.

This has been an Easter dinner staple my whole life. A great variation is to substitute drained rinsed sauerkraut for the cabbage - delish!

Terrific recipe. Simple and delicious. I used 1/2 egg noodles and 1/2 whole wheat noodles. Slightly healthier for this comfort food but still tasty.

This is a great recipe, I usually cook bacon first, then without draining the drippings I sautee the onions and add the cabbage. When the cabbage is cooked down I mix together with the noodles and add the crumbled bacon. This extra ingredient is the key!!!

I had never heard of this dish before my friend made it for us at her house several years ago. My kids and I couldn't get enough! I wanted to make it for myself and had to look it up because I didn't think it could be as easy as I remembered. Happily, I was wrong. This may not be a gourmet dish but it is delicious, simple comfort food - with a vegetable as its star.
