		<description><![CDATA[Tired of heavy mayonaise-laden cole slaw?  Here&#8217;s a very healthy version of the cole slaw without any mayo in it! Even if you are not watching your calories, this recipe is a really nice change from a traditional cole slaw.  It tastes very refreshing, light and crunchy! Ingredients For The Healthy Cole Slaw Without Mayo: 1 small cabbage 2 carrots 1/4 lime 1 tbsp olive oil Salt and pepper to taste How To Make Healthy Cole Slaw Without Mayo: Cut cabbage into 8 parts and discard the core.   Peel the carrots.

Put shredded cabbage and carrots into a large bowl, and pour oil and lime juice mixture over it.  Mix.  Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix.

		<description><![CDATA[I went to Trader Joe&#8217;s and saw that unusual lettuce sold in packages.  It had tiny cute crisp green leaves.  The name of the lettuce on the package was Mache Lettuce, and the package also noted the lettuce&#8217;s alternate name &#8211; Lamb&#8217;s Lettuce.  The package with lamb&#8217;s lettuce also had an orange sticker that said &#8220;Great With Avocadoes&#8221;.  So I came back from Trader Joe&#8217;s with the mache lamb&#8217;s lettuce and a couple of avocadoes, ready to make a yummy new salad! Here&#8217;s a picture of Trader Joe&#8217;s package of Mache (Lamb&#8217;s) Lettuce: Ingredients For The Salad: Mache (Lamb&#8217;s) Lettuce Avocado Balsamic Vinegar Olive Oil How To Make A Salad Whisk together balsamic vinegar and olive oil to make a dressing (3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar).  In a bowl, toss the mache lettuce with the dressing.  Put the lettuce on a plate. Peel and pit the avocado.  Thinly slice the avocado.  Put the avocado slices on top of the lettuce.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Baba ganoush (also sometimes spelled as &#8220;baba ghanoush&#8220;,  &#8220;baba ghanough&#8221; or &#8220;Baba ghanouj&#8220;) is a Middle-Eastern eggplant dip.  This recipe for baba ganoush is authentic and tastes just as good as the baba ganoush in Middle-Eastern restaurants! Ingredients For Baba Ganoush Recipe: 2 large eggplants 2 garlic cloves 4 tbsp tahini Juice from 1 lemon 1 tbsp olive oil 1/4 tsp salt Directions On How To Make Baba Ganoush At Home: Preheat oven to 425F.  Prick the eggplants in several spots with a knife (so they don&#8217;t explode in the oven).  Put the eggplants on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, or until very soft. Remove the eggplants from the oven.  Wait till they are cool enough to handle (I just run cold water over them to speed up the process).  Cut the eggplants in half lenghwise.  Scoop the flesh out with a fork and put in a bowl.  Discard the skin. Chop the eggplant flesh and put in a fine-mesh colander.  Put the colander over a sink, and press on the eggplant with your hands to squeeze the juices out. Put eggplant, tahini, lemon juice, oil, garlic and salt in a food processor.  Process until smooth. Serve [...]]]></description>
