Comment on Sweet-Tooth Friday: Vegan Almond-Quinoa Muffins by Amy

So I have to confess I'm not a vegetarian/vegan YET, but I am trying be conscious of eating cleaner food (as I train for my first half marathon). These muffins have given me hope that vegan baking doesn't mean you have to sacrifice flavor..they're FABULOUS! I did make a couple substitutions/alterations…I added two tablespoons of wildflower honey to add a bit more sweetness, I used ground walnuts in place of almond flour AND I used cranberries in half of the batch. These changes resulted in a satisfying, healthy breakfast which is sure to be a staple in my house. I definitely want to plug in the recipe to find the nutritional information though. Thanks you for this wonderful site-you have become invaluable for this work in progress .

I made these tonight and they are absolutely delicious! Even my finicky husband who wouldn't eat a lentil to save his life enjoyed them. When he asked what was in them, he could not believe they were healthy. Thank you so much for the recipe!

I love this post. I need to bookmark it to come back to again and again. I used to have a terrible habit of being late, but I did exactly what you suggest and started cutting out the excuses from my apologies. And it was REALLY hard, but it forced me to take ownership of the poor time management and planning that was the root cause of my perpetual tardiness (even if the traffic didn't help matters!). But I haven't fully incorporated this mindset into my training.

Excellent post! I'm sorry I didn't read it sooner, but traffic was horrible…LOL… jk.

Excellent points and quite timely as I have just posted my non-race report unapologetically. I will be trying out the apology without the excuse in all areas of my life. Expect to hear crickets…

This post couldn't have come at a better time for me. Reading it made me rethink about I have been thinking lately. I've been slacking on my training and feeling really bad about it. I hate the way I feel when I make up excuses (the humidity and perpetual heat wave is at the top of my list!) and feel so much when I make the choice to run or strength train, instead of falling prey to my excuses- no matter how creative they are!

What an inspiring post! I really like what you had to say here- it is all so absolutely true. Responsibility wins out over excuses every damn time.

Cheers.

I was lucky enough to have one of the test scones the day after it was made. It was SOOOO good! I opened a container when no one was in the kitchen and ate it before I knew what was in it and wondered why the NMA household had the not-so-good-for-you food lingering around. Then they told me the ingredients and immediately I felt good about eating it! Up until 2 months ago I was a Starbucks Petite Vanilla Bean Scone addict, having 3 every morning. These are truly just as good! Thanks, Christine!

Just found your website and I think it's really great!! My husband and I started running in November and started training for the Philadelphia Marathon in May. We are about half way through the training and are looking for more information on fueling ourselves for peak performance. You have a lot of great ideas and information… and this latest post is so true. Good luck in Vermont!

Well I am being very stereotypical but his ultra positive attitude and yes in your face way can be frowned on in Europe and his style (like others) can put them off.

I actually saw this with Brian Tracy (sales guru) when he spoke in Sweden last year.

Personally I prefer the US way of working which is why I am leaving Europe in August for your country and I cant wait to get started!

On saying that I need to relisten to a few of his tapes as I make this big move.
