Meatless Monday: 6 Healthy, Vegetarian Cinco De Mayo Recipes
When I was a kid, my mom would always make blue Jello on a blue moon. Which means we literally only ate blue Jello once in a blue moon. And honestly, that’s probably as much as any person should ever eat Jello. But there are other (vegetarian- and vegan-friendly) blue foods to celebrate this somewhat-rare lunar event. Like blueberries, which are a true superfood. More
I used to always shrug off a vegetarian wrap as a sort of poor man’s sandwich. And then I started working a crazy job with a crazy schedule and realized that wraps are awesome for busy, hungry, non-meat eaters. So for back-to-school (or work), we’re going to be focusing on vegan and vegetarian wrap ideas. More
So, you want to see the kind of amazing vegan fare that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi dine on? Check out this fresh, healthy vegan spring roll recipe, courtesy of Chef Roberto Martin himself.
Happy Presidents Day, readers. While none of our Commanders in Chief were ever confirmed vegetarians while in office (though Bill Clinton has since become a vegan for health reasons), they have had a diverse range of tastes. So we’ve compiled vegetarian versions of Presidential favorites–from George Washington to Barack Obama. More
Meatless Monday may sound less appealing when you’re facing cold, snow and rain. But you don’t have to resign yourself to cold salads and carrot sticks; vegans and vegetarians still do comfort food. To help you beat your winter chills (and stock your fridge with a few lunches for the week) we found 10 meatless stew recipes More
I think powdered sugar is possibly the prettiest Christmas cookie decoration; it’s just too bad that it’s usually used to dress up bland, dry cookies. So I’m happy to share these vegan Coconut Snow Cookies from Healthful Pursuit in our Christmas Cookie Exchange; they look as tasty as they are pretty, and they’re full of surprisingly nutritious ingredients.

As Thanksgiving draws near, it feels good to get in the seasonal spirit by trying some new recipes–and anything pumpkin is definitely on the menu. If you’re a vegan, this time of year can be challenging to find dishes that are not only dairy-free, but also simple to make. So we did a little digging around and found, what we think, is the easiest–and healthiest–vegan pumpkin cheesecake out there. More
I’ve been very into making different kinds of simple breads lately, because it only recently occurred to me that one can actually make bread without a bunch of, you know, stuff. Freed from the delusion that bread-making takes fancy equipment or hours of free time, I’ve been marveling in how easy it actually is—just mix together flour, baking powder, perhaps some yeast and then whatever you want, really. Thirty minutes later you have hot, healthy, fresh-baked bread. Here’s a recipe I made yesterday, adapted from the ‘Jamaican Coconut Cornbread’ recipe in The New Whole Grains Cookbook to make it vegan and work in some herbs. The result is bread that’s flavorful and filling, not to mention vegan (and not only is it devoid of things like dairy and processed sugars, it’s stocked with nutritious herbs and whole grains). More
This week, I picked up both eggplant and shallots at the farmer’s market. While searching for ways to cook the eggplant (I’m very bad at eggplant), I came a recipe for eggplant and shallot stew, which sounded so good I wanted to make it immediately. Of course, I was missing almost all ingredients aside from shallots and eggplant, for the recipe (from Eating Well magazine), so here is my own riff on it (à la raisins, cashews and whole-wheat couscous, and minus what sound like complicated spice-grinding and mustard-seed-popping processes).

Pasta is easy and pasta is cheap, so pasta is a standby weeknight dinner for most families. But it often gets weighed down by meat sauce or somewhat disappointing marinara that comes from a jar, when really, it’s not much harder (or more expensive) to grab a few vegetables and throw them in the mix. So we found a few recipes to help you get some farmer’s market goodies into your summer pasta (or pasta salad)—no meat— so you can spend more time at the beach, less time planning your Meatless Monday dinners.

Bastille Day is coming up this Thursday, and while France isn’t know for being the land of tofu and tempeh, it is possible to partake in their world-famous cuisine without eating a touch of meat. So to get you warmed up for some meatless celebrations, we rounded up some classic French recipes (and a couple of more “inventive” ones) to sate your inner Francophile, even if you don’t want to eat any poulet or beurre. More
This completely raw, vegan muesli makes a good breakfast or afternoon snack when you’re craving something sweet, healthy, filling. And it’s a healthy way to take advantage of all the summer-fresh raspberries and blackberries, without adding processed sugar. More
Happy National Doughnut Day! Normally, we wouldn’t advocate doughnuts as an integral part of your healthy nutrition plan, but on special occasions such as this, we can’t resist. (And if you think this holiday is just an excuse for Dunkin’ Donuts, Krispy Kreme, and Tim Hortons to push their products, think again: It was actually created as a fundraiser for the Salvation Army during World War I.) Several stores are passing out free donuts today, but those with gluten allergies, dairy sensitivities, or just an aversion to fast food made with a lot of mystery ingredients don’t have to be left out, thanks to Babycakes Bakery’s vegan, gluten-free (and baked) versions of the classic treat. We snagged a recipe from their newest cookbook, Babycakes Covers The Classics: Gluten-Free Vegan Recipes from Donuts to Snickerdoodles, in honor of National Doughnut Day. More
Happy Memorial Day! If you’re still trying to decide what to throw on the grill, we implore you: Try a few meatless options at your holiday weekend cookout. Your stomach will thank you when you’re playing tag football all afternoon, and you might even discover that grilled peach salad with maple-marinated tempeh is a far more satisfying meal than the mystery meats you’re used to throwing on the grill.
