		<title>Black Eyed Pea Fritters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While in Burkina Faso, I spent some time in my mother&#8217;s village of Nouna, in the southwestern part of the country near the border with Mali. It was a very rewarding and entertaining time during which I got to know my extended family and partake in village activities. I particularly enjoyed helping my extended cousin [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pure Unadulterated Lamb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ouagadougou may not rank high on the list of top vacation spots, but when it comes to good meat, aficionados know to come here to get it. Farming is a big part of the economy and thus, the city boasts a multitude of roadside shacks that make use of the most rudimentary methods to create [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crepes Citron Miel &#8211; 2 Eggs. Breakfast for 4.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The East Coast received another snow storm warning today. I feel bad for DC. Just when they thought the snowpocalyspe was over, another snow storm is preparing to hit the town again. We, New Yorkers expected a few inches last weekend as well, but we got nada. I don&#8217;t really know what&#8217;s going to happen [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vanilla Cupcakes with Pop Rocks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Looks like the Fierce and Sweet bake-off win was the ego booster I needed to morph into a baking enthusiast. Up until then, I used to think that baking was an activity better left in the hands of the likes of Pierre Herme, Gaston Lenotre and Francois Payard. But after a series of successful experiments, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roasted Grape Tomatoes with Rosemary and Garlic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every so often, I forget that I have grape tomatoes in the refrigerator and then when I remember and check them out, they no longer look cute enough for a salad. When that happens, I roast them with garlic and rosemary.  This has turned out to be a great way to salvage any tomatoes before [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baked Eggs with Spinach and Cheese</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Freemans is one of my favorite places to grab brunch in New York city. It almost feels like a hidden gem located at the end of a tiny alley. The food is socially conscious sans the pretentiousness and the vibe is very nice&#8230; um despite the animal heads hanging on the wall. But maybe you [...]]]></description>

		<title>PinaPassion Cocktail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s post is going to be very short. I fell victim to the mischievous swine flu last week and my engine is not 100% restored. They say booze makes everything better, so here&#8217;s a recipe for a cocktail I wish I could be enjoying on a warm tropical beach. PINAPASSION COCKTAIL 8 mint leaves 3 [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Winter Steak Dinner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing like a big, fat and juicy steak to crank up the temperature during these cold winter days. You may argue that steak is not a thrifty food item, but there&#8217;s nothing wrong with splurging a little from time to time. That said, there are plenty of economical ways to enjoy a steak dinner.
