Everything a runner needs
I’m on a jalapeño kick. I want it in everything from salads to guacamole to stir fry. I love the heat and the little kick in the pants its flavor gives meals. That’s why when thinking about a refreshing yet unique after workout drink; I was drawn to adding a bit of jalapeño to the mix. The weather here [...]
I just got back from a quick trip to Chicago. It’s not a long flight but the idea of being hungry for even 2.5 hours while in the air stresses me out more than it probably should. I do not like being hungry! So I tend to have snacks on hand — lots of them [...]
Many of us believe that avocado is a vegetable, we certainly eat them in that way, but it’s actually a fruit — and a delicious one at that. Plus it’s filled with heart-healthy unsaturated fat. In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, I put together a simple recipe highlighting the avocado. Several years ago I was [...]
I love cooking, everything about it, but baking, on the other hand, is not my greatest friend. I will confidently head into the kitchen to create a cookie or muffin or even cornbread and come out an hour later covered in flour and defeat.

If you spend a lot of time in the vegan blog world like I do, then this recipe will not be new to you. It’s floated around for years, and it is one of my favorite quick morning breakfasts. However, I realize many of you do not spend hours on end combing the vegan blogosphere [...]

By: Lisa Horvath The first word I typed out for this post was recovery. After I typed it I sat at my kitchen table watching the rowers on the Charles River for a long time. I stared out at Cambridge and MIT ,and to my left, the buildings of downtown and thought about Boston, my [...]
This week, I wanted to come up with a recipe that served as an ode to Boston and the marathon on Monday and was vegan, quick, and simple. But this turned out to be way more difficult than I anticipated. Bostonians are known for some complicated, un-vegan dishes: lobster rolls, baked beans, Boston cream pies, [...]
If you're like me, you eat a lot of bars. Granola, energy, breakfast bar — you name, it I've tried it. But when I began paying more attention to what I was putting into my body and reading the backs of the labels, I started to question my choices. Why was almost every bar's first [...]
This week, we're turning the spotlight away from vegetables and onto fruits, specifically, kiwi. Kiwis, also called Chinese gooseberries, may look funny with their fuzzy brown skins and tiny black seeds but they are delicious with a flavor that is tart yet sweet. They are most flavorful in the winter and early spring months, making [...]
