		<title>Party mix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The number of hits on my homemade thin mints post must mean I&#8217;m not the only one in the midst of a week-long marathon of holiday baking. All week I&#8217;ve been making and freezing dough for lemon cream cheese meltaways (a new recipe for me), thin mints (yum!), snickerdoodle pinwheels (a disastrous sticky dough experience [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strawberry salsa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On a sunny mid-summer afternoon, few foods are tastier and more refreshing than salsa made with tomatoes, cilantro and peppers straight from the garden. (Or, if you garden like I do, from the farmers market.)

		<title>The secret to great guac</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eastern Iowans, listen up. Tomorrow morning, when you stop by your favorite convenience store or supermarket or coffee shop, keep your eyes peeled for the newest issue of Hoopla. What&#8217;s Hoopla? A weekly entertainment magazine written for and by young adults about everything from nightlife to networking.

		<title>Mourn Pushing Daisies with pie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Oh &#8220;Pushing Daisies,&#8221; how I will miss your whimsical set, your quirky characters, your clever dialogue&#8230;. your homeopathic mood-enhanced fruit pies with Grueyere baked into the crust.
Wait. Stop. Strike that last item. I won&#8217;t miss those pies; not now that I&#8217;ve figured out how to cook up my very own Gruyere-crusted pear-apple pie (no additional [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cupcakes take the cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Since today&#8217;s column was all about cupcakes, I now present the top 3 reasons to love The Cupcake:
1. You get to eat an ENTIRE (cup)CAKE in one sitting. All by yourself. No sharing required.
2. An excellent cake-to-frosting ratio.
3. Endless potential for cute, clever and creative designs.

		<title>Eggplant, Indian style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every time I go to Taste of India, I look over the entire menu and consider trying a new dish.
