		<title>Lemonade with Stevia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

After last year&#8217;s crop of fresh lemons, I made several batches of limoncello. Since the liquor requires only the peel of the lemon, I had a considerable amount of lemon juice left. I froze it in 1 cup quantities for lemonade. I used 6 teaspoons of stevia in my first batch of lemonade but find [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=verdavivocooks.wordpress.com&blog=2676738&post=86&subd=verdavivocooks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pasta with Arugula and Goat Cheese</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve made the following recipe with both arugula and Red Russian kale. If you like the sauce a bit more juicy, add some sour cream to thin it out. I get country-style bacon from a local butcher and freeze it in packs of three slices each, perfect for adding to dishes for a bit of flavor.
Ingredients:

1½ [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=verdavivocooks.wordpress.com&blog=2676738&post=34&subd=verdavivocooks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Shrimp with Tabbouleh, Tomatoes and Feta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bulgur is cracked wheat that has been parboiled and broken into different size granules: fine, medium and coarse. And because bulgur is partially cooked, it has a nutty, roasted flavor.
Fine bulgur is used in breads and desserts. Medium bulgur is the all-purpose form that can be used in salads, stews, chilis and soups. Coarse bulgur [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=verdavivocooks.wordpress.com&blog=2676738&post=31&subd=verdavivocooks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Margarita Shrimp Salad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The flavor of this salad is reminiscent of a margarita &#8211; tequila, triple sec and lime juice. Fresh shrimp, diced avocado, red onion and crisp romaine lettuce are tossed with a creamy, spicy sour cream dressing.
