1st Marathon!

I registered for my first marathon today. I'll be running the Chicago Bank of America Marathon on 10/10/10. Let me know if anyone out there has any training, nutrition, or other helpful tips.

Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies

Again, it's been a while

I've been busy baking in the kitchen:) Here are some scrumptious chocolate chip cupcakes from VCTOTW.

Zucchini/Chicken Parm

I was in the mood for vegan chicken parm and ended up making this dish. The recipe was adapted from the "fried chicken" in the Vegetarian Starter Kit (PETA staffers have compiled their favorite recipes in this kit). I made a few changes to the original recipe by using 1/2 cup oil (shallow pan-fry) instead of 3 and 1/2. I also added fresh parsley, thyme, and used unsweetened ricemilk instead of water. This turned out to be a great winter meal. Yum!
