No one’s saying you have to go meatless just because it’s Monday — but as incentive to join the growing movement, every week we’re offering an animal-free recipe. The best thing about this jambalaya? You don’t have to forgo this recipe during Lent — or on any other day, because…

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Bert and Ernie. Frodo and Sam. Pop culture is laden with dynamic duos, buddies who balance one another. And ever since Kevin Smith’s underground film Clerks became a smash hit in 1994, no duo has encapsulated the Generation X/Y/Z experience quite like Jay and…

No one’s saying you have to go meatless just because it’s Monday — but as incentive to join the growing movement, every week we’re offering an animal-free recipe. Seitan is a protein-rich compound made from wheat; it’s easily found in most grocery stores, but making your own is simple and…
