Black Beans and Rice with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Bel Air Town Run 5k

Well, I finally got back out on the roads yesterday for a short run, my first since the half marathon last weekend.  After said run, it's evident that everything is in good working order, so I've given myself the green light for the Bel Air Town Run 5k this Sunday.
I've never [...]

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 [...]

Fire Roasted Tomato Pasta with Chickpeas and Arugula

I'm back, healthy foodies, with the promised roasted tomato pasta recipe! Over the weekend I found a fun recipe in a magazine, then Erin saw a different one on TV, and we decided to combine the two to form one super-recipe.
We Americans have grown so accustomed to the pasta-with-grilled-chicken (or some other meat) dish [...]

Szechuan Tempeh with Sweet-Spicy Peanut Sauce

After reading my lament on the sponginess of tofu, my sister, who bakes in a vegetarian restaurant and knows much more about vegetarian food than I do, suggested that I try tempeh.  As she put it, "People who don't like tofu like tempeh."  This made me a prime candidate (though to be fair, I have [...]

Sweet Potato Curry with Tofu, Bok Choy, and Carmelized Shallots

One day when I was a kid, the doctor informed my parents that I had extremely high cholesterol, 230 or something like that.  This didn't mean much to me, except that all of the sudden I wasn't allowed to have hot dogs anymore.  Coconut oil shared some of the blame, and it was also banished.  [...]

Mexican Black Bean Burgers with Tomatillo and Avocado Salsa

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 [...]

Smoky Black Bean and Cheddar Burritos with Baby Spinach

We made this one for lunch yesterday, another winner from Fine Cooking.  It seems that vegetarians eat a lot of beans, and for good reason because in addition to being the musical fruit, they are a quality source of both protein and carbohydrates.
There are plenty of other good ingredients in this recipe.  Lime juice (very [...]

Red Cooked Tofu

You can't be a vegetarian for long without eating tofu, especially if you are trying to get lots of protein for training.  And while I'm not a total vegetarian because I still eat fish, I'd like to make true vegetarian meals often so that you non-fish eaters out there will get something out of this blog.  So with [...]
