Ever since I wrote a guest post for Zen Habits, I've discovered a bunch of Zen and minimalist blogs. While I won't be owning only 50 things anytime soon, I have found these blogs to be rather eye-opening, and at the very least, entertaining. One such blog, Zen to Fitness, caught my eye with a…

Procrastination. It sucks. Destroyer of dreams and goals, and responsible for hundreds of billions of deaths each year in the United States alone. Worse, it has prevented me from sprouting beans and seeds for the past six months. When I first read Brendan Brazier's Thrive while on vacation last summer, I couldn't wait to get…

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…

1000 Vegan Recipes I don't buy cookbooks very often. You can get so many recipes online, pirated adapted by bloggers like me, that it's hard to justify spending 35 dollars (29 with my BN member card) on a cookbook. But impulse buys are fun. Also fun — posing for stupid pictures. I'm not a vegan…

Sweet new header, huh? Check out how dirty (read: hardcore) I am! Check out how I eat anything I want after long runs! (I'm sitting on the floor because I'm dirty.) I just got back from running the fourth and final 20 miler of my training, and the trail was all muddy. That didn't affect…

Just like so many runs recently, the 15-miler went great yesterday. And it didn't rain at all like I thought it would. I actually did slightly more than 15 miles in 1:52:06, for the 7:25 pace that I was going for. Since 15 seems like nothing compared to 20, I had been sort of downplaying…

Happy Sweet-Tooth Friday! This is Christine again, so get your ovens revved up for some Athletic baking! Instead of dessert, this week I'm tackling home-baked Energy Bars! Most "healthy" bars on the market are fairly expensive and fall into one of two categories; they have enough sugar and processing to qualify as candy or they…

My original intention was to get this post up in time for some of you to actually make these for Cinco de Mayo (for the hispanically challenged among you, that means "fifth of May," not "bring out the Hellman's"). But my previous post on why health food is unhealthy got a lot of comments, so…

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…

I mentioned yesterday that I was afraid to try Boca Burgers. When I think of Boca Burgers, or frozen veggie burgers in general, here is what I imagine. Start with a bunch of vegetables, especially carrots, add a few grains or breadcrumbs, then puree until it's essentially baby food. Finally, pour it into a puck-shaped…
