Apple-Pinto Tart

Hey guys!  This is Christine and I'm back to kick off your weekend with another healthy dessert!  For this Sweet-Tooth Friday I had my mind set on something elegant.  You know, the kind of dessert you can bring to a dinner party and fill the room with ooh's and aah's.  I also wanted something that…

Feed Granola

Check out the feedbag I got from Jason at Feed Granola yesterday! I've only started eating granola since I stopped eating meat (I picked it up on sale in the health food store one day, and since then I've been addicted).  Recently I've been eating it the way someone much more slovenly might eat potato…

Anniversaries, and a Movie You Must See

Three-Month Veggie-versary! Yesterday marked the anniversary of two momentous No Meat Athlete events, if there is such a thing.  First and foremost, it was the three-month anniversary of my new diet!  Actually, three months ago is when I turned pescetarian; it was still another month or so before I stopped eating fish.  So big ups…

Smoky Chipotle Chili with Black Beans and TVP

Now that marathon training has officially started, I'm looking forward to my first track workout tonight– three miles, 6:01 pace, with a minute rest in between each.  When I did this same workout back in January right before I got injured, I could only complete the first such mile.  After that, I think I had…

Marathon Training Begins, Social Life Ends

Well, we're back from our trip to New Hampshire/Massachusetts.  Oh, how I will miss seeing Red Sox logos every frickin' place I look.  The wedding was really nice, and I was right on with my veggie-pasta premonition.  Here's a quick shot of it, and one of me and Erin all dolled up.  Imagine how good…

Eating on the Road

Hey everyone!  Hope you enjoyed my little sis' guest dessert post yesterday.  You can look forward to those for the next few Fridays.  Today I'm coming at you live from the great state of Massachusetts.  Go Red Sawks–NOT AT ALL!  In fact, one might classify me as part of Red Sox Hation.  But the people…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse with Avocado

Hey everybody!  This is Christine, the NMA's little sister.  I'm so excited to be writing this guest post!  After all, I have been a busy bee following this blog, commenting, sharing it on Facebook, working on the logo, and trying out the recipes for myself.  Now it's my turn to share what I love: desserts! …

Chobani Greek Yogurt Giveaway

Sounds like most of the challengers are sticking with it!  I was a little concerned that not many comments were coming in, thinking you had all bailed on me.  Then I remembered that I didn't post yesterday until almost five P.M., so it was my fault for throwing off everyone's routine.  Anyway, if you're wavering,…

Tomato Pesto and a Near Dough-Disaster

Today marks two weeks since I've had any caffeinated coffee!  This 30-Day Challenge has definitely made me realize one thing–30 days is a long time.  When I first committed to this, I was worried that it wouldn't really be enough time to break the habit.  But let me tell you, these first two weeks have…

Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry with Green Peas

014

Well, I was a little sore after Sunday's 5k, but nothing too bad.  I'm back at it today with a track workout this evening, weather permitting.  And then next week, my 16-week marathon training program begins!  16 weeks seems like such a short time, but when I realize that this blog isn't yet 11 weeks…
