Hi everybody! This is Christine and welcome back to Sweet-Tooth Friday! This week I made Vegan Almond-Quinoa muffins from the featured cookbook of the month, Veganomicon. Vegan cupcakes fit for cupcake snobs Before I was a vegan baker, I worked at a boutique-style cupcakery that does fabulously creative displays and towers of cupcakes without ever…
I’ve been vegetarian for just about a year now (the actual date is fuzzy, since I phased out fish over time), and I can say without a doubt that this year represents the most my life has ever improved in such a short period of time. Granted, there have been a few sacrifices. But “no…

If, during any part of the last few years, you were the coffee junkie that I’m now trying hard to no longer be, then surely you’ve seen the quote on a Starbucks cup: “The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating…” There were lots of other quotes like it, but this one seemed to…

What do you know, another Monday. But this Monday is special, for lots of reasons, not the least of which are that I’m on spring break and my second-ever 50K is on Saturday. It’s also the start of the last full week of my first year of blogging, seeing as I started this blog on…

Dear Baby Fraz, I can’t believe how close we are to meeting you in person. Five weeks, the day of the Boston Marathon, assuming you don’t jump the gun. If you’re like your mother, you’ll probably leave yourself plenty of time, just in case you run into any delays on the way out. If you’re…

An energy bar fit for fueling workouts There has been a lot of talk about natural running fuel here lately. Matt’s series of posts on pre, during, and post…

I’m a huge fan of the track workout. It’s something that I didn’t introduce into my training for about five years after I started running, probably because of a subconscious fear instilled in me by awful, once-a-year miles forced on me in middle school gym class. But now that I’ve gotten comfortable with running on…

Ok, ready for this? It’s a fun one, because it involves: (a) rolling things up into little southern-goodness-bombs and (b) making your own barbecue sauce, something I’d never done before. Today’s recipe is from Veganomicon, my featured cookbook of the month. Which, by the way, is really starting to grow on me: Many of the…
