		<title>Lavender Mint Iced Tea</title>

Here&#8217;s what you need:

I`m thinking of basil, pesto, olive oil and sundried tomatoes.

		<title>Stress Relief is just a Phone Call Away</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Marilyn Zink
Everyone experiences stress and I mean everyone - even plants!

But I&#8217;m here to talk about stress people experience - whether it&#8217;s from moving (that&#8217;s a biggie) financial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Marilyn Zink
It&#8217;s been about 10 days since I started my weight loss plan by removing sugar and white flour products from my diet.
I confess I haven&#8217;t been 100% faithful, but I have stuck to it pretty much every day. I did use a bun for my salmon burger and used whole wheat tortillas to [...]]]></description>
