		<title>Give It a Whirl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember when I described my lunches comprised of quinoa and veggies and bragged that I never get tired of them? Well, I finally did, so I made some hummus. I rarely eat hummus anymore because my assistant is allergic to legumes, but making it myself reminded me how much I adore it. In fact, before [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chocolate for Breakfast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can remember my mother making &#8220;banana nut bread&#8221; back when I was wearing school uniforms, and she almost always has some on the counter when I go home today. To me, it&#8217;s always symbolized southern hospitality &#8212; something to give as a gift to a friend or teacher, or something just to have around [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eat Dessert First</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no accident that even when there is absolutely no time to spend an hour cooking dinner, dessert always seems like a manageable time commitment. Such was the case the other night when I threw together a spinach salad, starving, and was fully nourished by 7:45 &#8212; and found myself with most of the evening [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Substitutes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you&#8217;re craving a juicy, old-fashioned, no-nonsense steak, I find there is no substitute. A delicate filet of fish can&#8217;t compete, and even a hearty pasta dish falls short. It must be the umami flavor that makes your mouth water at the mere thought of red meat (I stopped myself from writing &#8220;je ne sais [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ham &amp; Cheese Bliss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was flipping through my new Southern Living the other morning before work, and my coffee cup stopped en route to my lips when I saw their featured seasonal ingredient. I love fresh figs, and it seems like they are one of those tricky fruits that&#8217;s only good for about a second out of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Other White Meat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since we made that delicious pork tenderloin in our Napa Valley cooking class, I&#8217;ve been dying to try some more pork dishes of my own. The catch, of course, is that I couldn&#8217;t just rip off the same recipes we cooked in the lesson, so this time I went in a completely different direction. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Southern-Style Shrimp &amp; Grits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although most people imagine Mississippi as a hub for consuming grits, my mom only makes them once a year, at Christmas brunch. Along with about a hundred other side and main dishes, she whips up her version of gruyère grits that I adore, topped with mouth-watering grillades that take her all day to make (it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farmer&#8217;s Market Lunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I tend to blog about my farmer&#8217;s market creations more than my grocery store ones, probably because I&#8217;m just more excited about the former. Aisles of flour and dishwashing detergent don&#8217;t do too much for me. But on Saturday my assistant and I built a lunch entirely based on our findings at the market, a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Indoor Grilling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My complaints about not having an outdoor area to grill in have been well-documented on this site, and I guess my generous dad took note! He sent me a very cool product, the Sanyo Electric Indoor Barbeque Grill, so I can fire up some meat and veggies in my little one-bedroom. The grill doesn&#8217;t get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pizza Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love pizza. Especially the fancy Neapolitan kind with the rich, moist cheese and crispy crust that bubbles up. In fact, I love it so much that I gave it extra attention on my About page, but I&#8217;ve never made it for the blog before. Truthfully, I&#8217;ve been waiting for a very special ingredient that [...]]]></description>
