Are you ready for Michelle Obama, kitchen goddess? The first lady’s pulling a Gwyneth Paltrow and publishing a cookbook. Americn Grown, on sale April 10, 2012, combines veggie growing tips with recipes inspired by Michelle’s White House garden.
.
It’s a garden she’s toiled over since 2009. So have daughters Sasha and Malia, who help with the weeding “like it or not”. Despite being a gardening novice, Obama’s laid the groundwork for over 55 varietals of veggies. Stalks of black kale, bright yellow peppers, and beams of eggplant have grown from the most expansive garden the White House lawn has ever seen.
.
Now it’s growing beyond the Obama home, and into the cookbook arena. According to her publishers, she’ll use the garden’s offerings as the starting point for seed-sowing, recipe ideas and personal anecdotes and photos of the Obamas’ home-base.

5 essential traits to look for….
.
.
Think your Mr. Next has the potential to be Mr. Right? Before you leap without looking, take an honest inventory. See how many of the following five essential traits he possesses.
..
Dating Trait #1: He listens to you
..
The best way to know if Mr. Next is interested in (and worthy of) being a candidate for Mr. Right? He listens to you. You’ll know he’s listening when he shows genuine concern, consistently remembers things you’ve told him (your birthday, favorite food, best friend’s name, etc.), and offers emotional support in honest and thoughtful ways.
..
Dating Trait #2: He connects with you easily
..
We’ve all been in those relationships that take W-O-R-K (and suck the life force out of us in the process). When a relationship works on its own, it feels effortless, easy, and fluid. You don’t have to force anything, forgive anyone, or turn a blind eye to red flags or gut-twisters. Instead, you communicate and collaborate with comfort, compatibility, and undeniable chemistry. If and when you experience this kind of interaction, you are on to something really special.
..
Dating Trait #3: He wants the real you
..
So often, women feel the need to sacrifice some part of themselves to make a relationship work. In the right relationship, there’s no need. You don’t have to hide, tone down, or apologize for any aspect of you or your fabulous life. With the right partner, you’re not only able to be yourself, but you’re better able to be the best version of your most authentic self — no compromises needed.
..
Dating Trait #4: He’s trustworthy
..
A relationship without trust is doomed from the start. But a relationship with abundant trust? A fabulous foundation for real
