One of the things I really missed when eating gluten-free for 3 weeks was freshly baked bread. I&#8217;m used to baking my own bread a few times a week using the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day (ABin5) method so of course one of the first things I did when done with the cleanse diet was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Respected food writer Michael Ruhlman recently wrote an interesting blog post about why he cooks and threw down the gauntlet to other bloggers to &#8220;spell it out&#8221; why we cook.
I cook because:

Because I love it, plain and simple. I love food, eating and almost everything that surrounds it. This extends to my other passion, travel. Because [...]]]></description>

I never thought these words would ever come out of my mouth;
&#8220;Oh my God, these tofu tacos are so good!&#8221;
But that was before the 21 day Cleanse Diet, before I was desperately hungry one night after working late, and before the Kogi BBQ truck entered my world.
For those who are not aware of the gourmet food [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Week 2 Observations:
It&#8217;s been an interesting week filled with highs and lows.
The week started with an epic cooking fail on my part. I tried to make a vegan, gluten free, &#8220;sugar&#8221; free &#8220;cheesecake.&#8221; Really. What was I thinking? The cheesecake was made with vegan cream cheese, silken tofu, egg replacer, agave syrup and cocoa powder. [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s been a movement lately called &#8220;Meatless Monday&#8221; (it even has a website, http://www.meatlessmonday.com/) where people are making the conscious decision to eat once a week without meat. This tradition goes back to World War 1 when the government urged people to go one day without meat to aid the war effort and it continued during WW2. Today, the [...]]]></description>

Most people think the creamy texture in risotto comes from the addition of lots of butter and parmesan cheese. This can be true, especially when you order it in a restaurant where they may take shortcuts or have a heavy hand with the cheese. In reality, it&#8217;s the natural starch surrounding the arborio rice kernel and patience while cooking which creates [...]]]></description>

I’ve been thinking a lot about food lately. No surprise there, right? However, I’m not thinking about which dessert to make next, but rather how I can eat in a healthier, more responsible, and sustainable way. Because of this, I&#8217;ve decided to do a 21 day &#8220;cleanse&#8221; diet. I&#8217;m not going to go into the whole [...]]]></description>

The day before my cleanse diet began I went shopping, armed with a list of &#8220;acceptable&#8221; ingredients from the Quantum Wellness Guide book. I shopped primarily at Trader Joe&#8217;s and Whole Foods. This was a trying experience and I had to seriously talk myself down from a panic attack [...]]]></description>
