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 Bishop Cocktail

- #11197
If you thought all cocktails needed liquor, think again. This red wine concoction is sweet, tart, and a little reminiscent of sangria. Don't tell, but the Bishop is a great way to turn a not-so-fantastic bottle of red into something excellent.

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.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
