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."

My newest cookbook/love/obsession, 1,000 Vegan Recipes, is still batting 1,000. I've made four meals from it and all of them have been very good.

Well, I'm sitting here typing in my Recovery Socks after an injury-free, bonk-free 20-mile run! 20-mile runs always seem special, probably because I've only done a handful of them in my life.

Lotsa Giada Pasta Wow, it's been a few weeks since this blog has seen a completely "normal" meal! But that's just what this one is—nothing sprouted or soaked, no hemp oil, nothing raw, and real, actual, pasta (not "pasta"). And extra cheese, please!
