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.

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
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.

Haven't much been a fan of couscous in the past but enjoyed this recipe a lot. I think most of my trepidation with couscous has been the tiny pearls so I used the larger pearls which seems to be what was used in the photo of this recipe. I liked them a lot better. I could see adding shrimp or chicken to this recipe too to make it a full meal.

This is a very flavorful couscous recipe. Fresh veggies combined with the spices and a little rich vegetable broth are a great way to dress up couscous!
