		<description>Today is the last installment of the Texas Beef Healthy Meals to Fuel the Family series. I shed a slight tear, because I adore beef and I have become quite fond of it over the last month. But, alas, we must part ways, even for just a short time.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AClosetWriter/~4/AWmLzA-F8tk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

		<description>We are dancing into Week 2 of Healthy Meals to Fuel the Family with the Texas Beef Council. This week is all about main course salads, which I love. Living in Texas we tend to eat a lot of these, especially from Spring to Fall (it's so darn hot y'all!)&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AClosetWriter/~4/7_C3JS406IM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
