		<title>Fallen Chocolate Soufflé Cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Every year as Passover draws near my friends begin giving me pitying, almost apologetic looks. As a foodblogger and someone who frequently writes about baked goods, folks often get the impression that I can&#8217;t live without flour. &#8220;What are you going to eat during Pesach?&#8221; they ask me, &#8220;How will you manage?&#8221; Case in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mistress of the Revolution (Interview &#038; a Giveaway!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Of all the book genres, historical fiction is by far my favorite. If it&#8217;s done well it allows you to completely immerse yourself in the events of another place and time, and when you finish the story you feel as if you&#8217;ve learned something too. From Bernard Cornwell I learned about the battle tactics [...]]]></description>

		<title>Homemade Buttermilk Pretzels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
I&#8217;m not much of a sports fan but one thing I do love is &#8217;sports food.&#8217; Cheesy nachos, popcorn, pizza, Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars, and especially soft, jumbo pretzels topped with oodles of yellow mustard. My husband learned long ago that if he wants me to get excited about going to a baseball game [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Folks are often surprised to hear this, but for most of my life I&#8217;ve hated peanut butter. &#8220;What about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?&#8221; they ask, &#8220;Didn&#8217;t you eat those as a kid? Or Reese&#8217;s Peanut Butter Cups? You have to like those.&#8221; No and nope, I always respond. My mother couldn&#8217;t even get [...]]]></description>

Yesterday was my friend M&#8217;s 29th birthday and to celebrate we threw a little party at my place. On the menu? Butternut squash soup with crème fraîche; mini spinach quiches; blue cheese, walnut and pear sandwiches; and homemade French fries (the best kind!); all served with tall pitchers of pink lemonade and kiwi slices.

		<title>Vegetarian Pad Thai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
If you are one of the millions of people who commute to work or school every weekday, then you have probably asked yourself the ultimate question on a fairly regular basis: What&#8217;s for lunch? I have certainly struggled with this conundrum, and the answer will never become definite. What I enjoy eating this week [...]]]></description>
