A Pescatarian Talks Turkey

My husband and I are hosting Thanksgiving for both sides of the family. We’ve done this for the past few years, and it works really well. We have enough beds for everyone, we have a good space for gathering around the table, and we can invite local friends over to join in the feast. Plus, [...]

White Mountain Foods: A Vegetarian’s Review

Healthy eating can take a bit of planning, especially when you throw other restrictions into the mix, like following a vegetarian or vegan diet. The best plan, as we’ve discussed here before, is to shop the perimeter of the grocery store and fill your cart with fruits and veggies and other “from the earth” foods, [...]

Nom Nom: The Eat-Clean Diet Vegetarian Cookbook

We may say that “diet is a four-letter word”, but let me get one thing straight: This dietbook/cookbook is not about deprivation. Nor is it anything to cuss at, unless, of course, you are like me and get kind of angry when you eat something really good and might drop an F-bomb in misguided delight. [...]

Vegetarian Recipe: The Carla Burger With Peach Pico de Gallo

Yesterday we got some fab healthy barbecue tips from Top Chef’s and ABC’s The Chew’s Carla Hall. Full of awesome ideas and Southern charm, today Carla is sharing one of her favorite recipes—which is appropriately called “The Carla Burger.” She worked with MorningStar Farms for the vegetarian recipe and says: “My spicy black bean burger has [...]

It’s a Gluten-Free Vegan Pizza Party and Recipe!

Remember in grade school (or heck, high school and college) when your teacher or a friend would throw a pizza party and it was, like, the best day ever? Complete with copious amounts of Dr Pepper and the Spice Girls? Yep, us, too. Which is why we’re thrilled to feature today’s recipe by Laura Knapp, founder [...]

Roasted Veggies on Crusty Bread: Now THIS Is the Way to Get Your Veggies

I’m often asked about meals my husband and I can share, since he eats meat and I do not. Truthfully, we have tons of meals we both enjoy, but many of them come with modifications—cooking some chicken on the side, for example, or sautéing my tofu in a separate pan from his ground beef. This Roasted [...]

Sports Nutrition for Vegans: Vega Sport Review

Being an athlete and a vegetarian or vegan used to be really, really hard, and nobody knew that better than professional Ironman triathlete (and vegan) Brendan Brazier. Before creating a plant-based, whole-food diet that truly gave him the nourishment he needed, he suffered from reduced energy levels and chronic hunger despite eating almost constantly. But [...]

Is This Hummus and Veggie Sandwich the World’s Best Lunch? I Won’t Say No

Under certain circumstances, I can become a creature of habit. If I come up with a lunch that I like—I mean, that I really, really like—I’ll easily eat that same thing every day for weeks. Or until I run out of ingredients and realize I’m too lazy—I mean too busy—to make a midday grocery-store run. [...]

Vegucated: A Documentary and Experiment in Going Vegan

A year ago, I went vegetarian for a month-long experiment. And during that time, I came perhaps a touch close to going vegan—in that I didn’t feel totally okay with eating eggs and I avoided cheese. But I certainly didn’t try to not eat animal products in everything—heck, sometimes I had a hard enough time [...]

Why I Don’t Eat Meat

As a high school senior, I interviewed the teachers who had taught kindergarten to the kids in my class, and when I spoke to my old teacher, Mrs. Lake, she actually remembered a story about me. We were singing all the verses of She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain, and, when it got to the [...]
