Ever make your own BBQ sauce?

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 recipes are a [...]

Lentil soup with…pineapple?

Happy Thursday, everybody.  It's the springiest day we've had all year, which means only one thing—lots of melting.  If this keeps up, I might even be able to do some trail running this weekend (if I can remember how).  My next 50K is two weeks away, and I got in 20 miles on the roads [...]

Hungry for meat? Eat this instead.

Now that I'm almost a year removed from eating it, I'm surprised at how infrequently I crave meat.  But it's not that it's completely unappetizing: Though I feel a little queasy when I think about eating a steak or chicken off the bone, I still sometimes miss the taste of a plate of buffalo wings, [...]

Black beans, yellow rice

Beans and rice.  Health gurus tell us it's a match made in nutritional heaven, since each provides the essential amino acids the other lacks.  If beans and rice could talk, they might in a moment of unguarded honesty simultaneously declare, "You complete me."  Or, perhaps more ethnically accurate, "Me completas."
I've heard that's a load of [...]

Black bean and walnut croquettes

Well, sadly, it's time to close the book on 1,000 Vegan Recipes — on this blog, that is. (Not in my kitchen, where it has officially secured a spot on my list of go-to cookbooks for quick, healthy, interesting meals.)  As much as I wish I could do it, Robin Robertson and Wiley might not [...]

Best Thrive 'pizza' yet!

I've stayed away from fake meat products for a while now, so it's been a long time since I've had any food in quotes.  The "pizzas" in  Thrive, however, are a different kind of quoted food, since they're not masquerading as real pizzas.  "Pizza" just happens to be the most convenient way to describe a food [...]

Robin Robertson interview

As you know if you've been reading over the past few months, almost all of my recent cooking has been from Robin Robertson's newest cookbook, 1,000 Vegan Recipes. Though I'm not a vegan, I recognize that vegan food represents a diet upgrade for me: I don't like eggs, so the only non-vegan part of my [...]

Tuscan white beans and broccoli rabe

Morning!  I've been posting a lot in the afternoons/evenings recently, and I forgot how nice it feels to post in the morning.  I have a new recipe to share today; my mom and sister came over last night so I made dinner for everyone.  You can thank my friend (and NMA-reader since day 1) Pete [...]

Feelin' flexy

One of the common things people say to me, when we're talking about being vegetarian, goes like this:
"I think I could probably be vegetarian, but the problem is that my wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/kid eats meat like a fiend, so it would never work."
If this is you, I implore you just to try it.  If you have a [...]

My kind of fake meat

Ups and downs
The decision to become vegetarian nine months ago has been one of the best I've ever made.  It was primarily health-driven, and the result has been nothing short of what I had hoped.  I now eat far better than I ever did when I was the healthiest meat-eater I knew,  and I'm a [...]

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!
