					<description><![CDATA[My favorite Middle Eastern dessert of all time is Knafeh. Knafeh is a traditional Palestinian dessert made with cheese, shredded dough, and soaked in a sweet syrup. The dessert traces its origins to the city of Nablus, where it is most famously made with Nabulsi cheese. Growing up, we had knafeh on special occasions.

There&#8217;s an orchard out in Maryland that has pick your own fruits and veggies almost year-round.  A few weekends ago, I went with a couple of friends, and one friend&#8217;s three kids to pick strawberries.

And it&#8217;s also the dead of winter, with no holidays to look forward to. On the bright side, that means we can all focus on our forever resolutions to lose weight.

It’s only a matter of minutes before the sun sets and I enter pre-Monday mode. Pre-Monday is my least favorite time of the week.

I made it through the workday without coffee (because really, who drinks coffee without flavored creamer?) Half asleep for most of the day is not a way to live, or be productive.
