Bowtie Pasta with Summer Squash and Tomatoes

13 Miles, Lots of Sweating, No Water
Ok, I'm back from the run.  13 miles in an hour and 50 minutes, about an 8:27 pace.  This is a good bit slower than the 7:45 pace I had hoped for, but I don't feel too badly about it because I recently ran the half marathon at a [...]

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 [...]

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!
