		<title>Caribbean Salad with Sweet Orange Vinaigrette</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All of you early risers might have noticed my post is up a little late this morning.  That&#8217;s because I just woke up and had completely lost track of what day it was!  I&#8217;m a little off of my normal schedule because I&#8217;m off on a little adventure right now.  It took my husband and I 20 hours, stopping in 3 countries, on 3 airplanes, a couple of cab rides, and a rickety-but-speedy water taxi, but we finally made it &#8230;<div class="readmore"><a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2012/05/caribbean-salad-with-sweet-orange-vinaigrette/"><img src="/wp-content/themes/zee/images/readmore.gif" alt="read more..." /></a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Homemade Soft Pretzels {And Cinnamon-Sugar Pretzel Bites}</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have vivid memories from my childhood of running errands with my Mom, often at Bellevue Square Mall (oh how I miss that mall!) in my hometown.  It seems like we were always there doing something or other and even with my toddler-sized memories I can still recall the exact section of the parking garage we always parked in.  I think it had less to do with the layout of the stores we were going to and more to do &#8230;<div class="readmore"><a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2012/05/homemade-soft-pretzels-and-cinnamon-sugar-pretzel-bites/"><img src="/wp-content/themes/zee/images/readmore.gif" alt="read more..." /></a></div>]]></description>

		<title>How To: Restaurant-Style Ranch Dressing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most common questions we get is how to get picky eaters to eat. That is a great question. And pretty much one I don&#8217;t have the answer to. I have two picky eaters, and the really tricky thing is that they&#8217;re picky in different ways. My 7-year-old doesn&#8217;t like how certain foods like meat, most fruits, pretty much all potatoes, oatmeal and other hot cereals, any kind of dip or dressing, and jam (yes, jam) feel in &#8230;<div class="readmore"><a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2012/05/restaurant-style-ranch-dressing/"><img src="/wp-content/themes/zee/images/readmore.gif" alt="read more..." /></a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Sliced Steak and Brie Sandwich</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, Sara and I were in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for a speaking event. It was our last trip of the spring and my last trip before I have my baby, so I think we both felt a little more relaxed and like it was easier to enjoy ourselves and the city we were visiting. Our first night there, we walked down the street to The Fire House Restaurant and I ordered a steak sandwich with garlic aioli and &#8230;<div class="readmore"><a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2012/05/sliced-steak-and-brie-sandwich/"><img src="/wp-content/themes/zee/images/readmore.gif" alt="read more..." /></a></div>]]></description>

		<title>How To: Frost Cupcakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It should be no surprise that around here we LOVE cupcakes.   We love creating them, decorating them, frosting them, and certainly eating them!  We get so many questions about cupcakes (especially about how to frost them) that I&#8217;ve been wanting to do a little comprehensive guide for a long time.  I&#8217;m going to run through all of our best tips and tricks to get perfect, bakery-style cupcakes.  Check out our Recipe Index for lots of great cupcake recipes (I&#8217;ll &#8230;<div class="readmore"><a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2012/05/how-to-frost-cupcakes/"><img src="/wp-content/themes/zee/images/readmore.gif" alt="read more..." /></a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Berry Baskets for Mother&#8217;s Day and Teachers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick little idea post today.  I&#8217;ve noticed a surge in facebook posts recently asking for ideas on both Mother&#8217;s Day and Teacher gifts which has caused me both surprise and panic.  Is it that time of year already??  How is school almost out?  Once again time has flown by and I find myself scrambling to pull things together.  I was at the party store this week (Zurchers) and I saw packs of darling cardboard berry baskets.  A pack &#8230;<div class="readmore"><a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2012/05/berry-baskets-for-mothers-day-and-teachers/"><img src="/wp-content/themes/zee/images/readmore.gif" alt="read more..." /></a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Garlic &amp; Caper Aioli</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So if words like &#8220;aioli&#8221; make you think, &#8220;Ew, weird, clicking away now,&#8221; don&#8217;t&#8211;clicking away from things that sound weird will keep you from enjoying things like Portlandia clips and naughty, hilarious websites that chronicle text message typos. Aioli is just a fancy word for garlicky mayonnaise. And this magical, garlicky mayonnaise, which is fabulous with homemade fries (like these ones or these ones), as a dipping sauce for fish (like these fish sticks or the beer-battered fish from these &#8230;<div class="readmore"><a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2012/05/garlic-caper-aioli/"><img src="/wp-content/themes/zee/images/readmore.gif" alt="read more..." /></a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Quick Crab Cakes with Remoulade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was young, many of my favorite childhood comfort foods involved things from the sea.  My Mom&#8217;s classic Creamed Tuna on Toast, for example, crispy fried halibut on the pier in my hometown of Seattle, and cheesy casseroles with flaky fish.  Everything was wonderful until one frightful day in 6th grade.  Biology was my favorite class; I&#8217;ve always loved science (went on to get my degree in a science field) and felt quite comfortable at a lab table.  So &#8230;<div class="readmore"><a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2012/05/crab-cakes-with-remoulade/"><img src="/wp-content/themes/zee/images/readmore.gif" alt="read more..." /></a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Mexican Sweet Corn Cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy (almost) Cinco de Mayo!  I am very much in the spirit of the festivities because I just got back from Puerto Vallarta. My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Cancun 8 years ago and decided we&#8217;d head back south for our anniversary this year.  Honestly it was one of the most relaxing trips we&#8217;ve done because we didn&#8217;t do anything but sit here:   And down there: Lots of sunsets and beachcombing and plenty of virgin daquaris and &#8230;<div class="readmore"><a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2012/05/mexican-sweet-corn-cake/"><img src="/wp-content/themes/zee/images/readmore.gif" alt="read more..." /></a></div>]]></description>

		<title>Frozen Lemonade Pie in a Jar {and Mother&#8217;s Day Printable!}</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember last week when I was talking about how I kind of kept forgetting it was spring? Yeah, I&#8217;m over that. My car thermometer said 94 degrees yesterday and the fact that I was wearing pants was making me feel all stabby. Apparently summer is here (at least in the South; is it super hot everywhere else?) and I&#8217;m (clearly) trying really hard to have a good attitude about it. Note sarcasm. The good news? Frozen treats make me feel &#8230;<div class="readmore"><a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2012/05/frozen-lemonade-pie-in-a-jar-and-mothers-day-printable/"><img src="/wp-content/themes/zee/images/readmore.gif" alt="read more..." /></a></div>]]></description>
