In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.

9 ounces pitted dried plums (prunes)
1/2 cup hot water
Place the dried plums and hot water in a food processor and process until smooth.
The puree is best used as a fat/oil substitute in chocolate baked goods such as brownies and dense, moist cakes such as carrot cake.
To use it, omit the fat/oil called for in the recipe and replace it with half as much puree. So, if your recipe calls for a cup of oil, omit the oil and replace it with half a cup of your homemade dried plum puree.
The dried plum will keep in the refrigerator in a covered glass container for about 2 months.

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