If you showed up today expecting recipe number two from Italian Week, I apologize. It was supposed to be pasta e fagioli (pasta and bean soup), but I totally botched it! Remember how I said I used to be known for one kitchen disaster with every meal? Last night's disaster was forgetting that pasta e [...]

Meatless Muffaletta Sandwiches
Welcome to Italian Week, No Meat Athlete style! Or Italian Half-Week, since it's already Wednesday. For those who don't know, a muffaletta is an Italian-style sandwich from New Orleans. Until I saw it on Throwdown with Bobby Flay, I had no idea it wasn't really from Italy. But who cares where it's from; it's really [...]
Mustardy Portobello Mushroom Pasta
I know– a lot of people are afraid of mustardy anything. I can understand how you might not like straight-up mustard, but once it's whisked with white wine and boiled, it forms a nice sauce to coat the pasta and really doesn't taste like mustard!
Before I get to the recipe though, I am happy to [...]
No More Fishing?
I've been thinking pretty hard in the last few days about giving up fish, about whether I should become a "real" vegetarian. After all, the blog is called No Meat Athlete. I suppose I could justify my fish-eating by saying that "no meat" is an ideal that I'm hoping to achieve one day, but it's [...]
Big Ups to Some No Meat Athlete Readers!
Ok, so they're not technically No Meat Athletes yet, but strictly speaking, neither am I! Unless you define "meat" in the fish-excluding Catholic sense, and I don't think too many of us still define it that way.
I just wanted to write a quick post about some readers of this blog who have made me really [...]
Friggin' Awesome Buffalo Tempeh Wraps
Finally! I've been looking forward to this day ever since that mistress tempeh won me over with her meatlike texture. Her soy sister tofu made a crispy deep-fried appeal to win back the love of my taste buds at a Thai restaurant today, but this day belongs to tempeh. Buffalo tempeh.
I am an admitted lover [...]
Lentil Burgers
Time for another Twitter-submitted recipe, this one from @reluctantveggie. She runs a blog called The Reluctant Vegetarian, something that I imagine a lot of you are (or, more likely, whoever you live with is). So check it out for lots of recipes from someone in the same boat!
The recipe is for lentil burgers; you can [...]
Patatas Bravas
Buenos dias! I went to Spain four times during high school, living with Spanish families for a month each time as part of an exchange program. At the time I was more interested in drinking Cuarenta y Tres con naranja than sampling the fine cuisine. But now that I love good food, I really wish [...]
Qualify for the Boston Marathon
My blog is getting a lot of traffic from people looking for Boston Marathon qualifying information, with searches like "How fast do I have to run to qualify for Boston Marathon" and "Boston Marathon training plan." They are landing on my previous post How I Plan to Qualify for the Boston Marathon, which was geared [...]
Black Bean and Sweet Potato Enchiladas
Finally, the one I've been hyping up all week! And the hype must have worked, since at least one person I know soaked her black beans last night in anticipation of this recipe's posting, only to lose her (pirated) internet connection shortly thereafter. Looks like someone will be eating black bean burgers again, unless I'm [...]
Hi there, I'm Matt. I went vegetarian last March, and almost immediately I became a much stronger runner. I recently qualified for the Boston Marathon; now it's on to my first 50-miler!
