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.

Salmon salad is an awesome option for a refreshing, protein-packed lunch. Diced onion provides just the right amount of bite to balance out the salmon and juicy tomatoes.

1 pound smoked salmon or canned red salmon
6 large ripe tomatoes
1/2 Maui onion (mild white onion)
green onions for garnish
If using smoked salmon, cut it into chunks and soak in several changes of water so it isn't too salty. If using canned, gently flake into chunks and remove any skin or bones.
Skin the tomatoes and crush them with your fingers, add the salmon and diced Maui onion. Serve icy cold topped with a sprinkling of chopped green onions.

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).
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
