		<title>Veggies, Veggies, Everywhere Veggies!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are we getting close to the tipping point? It seems everywhere I turn I hear or read the word vegan. This is a wonderful thing. Recently in the media:
Dr. Oz Show: Cowboy Rocco on a 28 day vegan diet. Real life example of how a vegan diet can dramatically improve one&#8217;s health!
The Ellen Show: Her [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vegangirlnextdoor.wordpress.com&blog=990188&post=770&subd=vegangirlnextdoor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Its all vegan menu will be expanding in the near future and so will the hours. In the meantime, you can enjoy the same tasty food as before in a completely remodeled and modern space.

		<title>Evolution of a picky eater</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From junk food junkie to health nut?
When people learn I&#8217;m vegan, most assume I have always been a healthy eater. Not true. For the record, being vegan does not equal being healthy. Although it&#8217;s a step in the right direction, vegan junk food abounds at natural food stores as well as your local supermarket. Fritos are technically vegan. Nevertheless, I&#8217;m [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vegangirlnextdoor.wordpress.com&blog=990188&post=591&subd=vegangirlnextdoor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Good news, bad news
Let&#8217;s get the bad news out of the way first.
Closing&#8230;

		<title>Tofu Ranch Dressing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Several people have also asked for the vegan ranch dressing recipe I have been using on the Eat to Live plan. This is my adaptation of the Tofu Ranch Dressing/Dip recipe found in Eat for Health (Book 2, page 163). I switched up the spices in favor of my taste buds. If you keep the base [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vegangirlnextdoor.wordpress.com&blog=990188&post=644&subd=vegangirlnextdoor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Breakfast of Champions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Almost every morning I drink a smoothie for breakfast. When I deviate, it is normally a concoction of brown rice over a spoonful of almond butter topped with raw nuts and maple syrup &#8212; a wonderfully-rich comfort-food. But today I will have a smoothie. Since I&#8217;m still on the Eat to Live six-week plan, smoothies are the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vegangirlnextdoor.wordpress.com&blog=990188&post=633&subd=vegangirlnextdoor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Eat to Live: 3 weeks down, 6 weeks to go?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;m three weeks in to the Eat to Live program and should only have three weeks to go. I mean I just signed up for six weeks. But, yesterday I was reading how long it really takes to make a habit. Normally experts suggest it takes 21 days. Some studies have found it likely takes 60 days. 
This makes sense to me, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vegangirlnextdoor.wordpress.com&blog=990188&post=608&subd=vegangirlnextdoor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Live to eat or eat to live?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately I have been eating a lot. Basically I have been living to eat. I have been over indulging in soy ice cream, vegan lasagna, and chips on a regular basis. Fortunately I haven&#8217;t seemed to gain any weight (probably due to regular exercise), but I have been feeling crappy. I wake up with headaches and stiff muscles [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vegangirlnextdoor.wordpress.com&blog=990188&post=447&subd=vegangirlnextdoor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Warning! (Vegetarian) Dating Scam and other dating tales</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I was the victim of a dating service scam. I want to make people aware of this company because they prey on special-interest groups such as vegetarians. People like this piss me off. I don&#8217;t normally get this personal with the whole world&#8211;but I will in the name of justice.
Earlier this year I became single [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vegangirlnextdoor.wordpress.com&blog=990188&post=480&subd=vegangirlnextdoor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
