Stormbreaker - UK Film Premiere

When she’s not eating Raw Balls, Alicia Silverstone likes Peanut Butter Crispy Rice Treats as well.

A couple of days ago, we introduced you to Kevin Nealon’s Chickpea Tacos. Turns out, after examining that website more closely, there are several other celebrity favorite recipes that also looked tasty. So we decided to bring them all to you in case you were too hungry to bother clicking more to go to the site. Enjoy!

Alicia Silverstone actually has 2 more recipes over there, but since celebs have big egos anyway, we don’t want to make them even more grandiose, thus we’re only featuring 1 for each.

Peanut Butter Crispy Rice Treats
1 3/4 cups brown rice syrup
1 pinch sea salt
3/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter (all natural)
1 box brown rice crisps cereal
1/2 cup grain-sweetened chocolate chips (optional)

Heat rice syrup with a pinch of salt in a saucepan over low heat. When rice syrup liquefies, add peanut butter and stir until well combined and heated through.

Pour entire box of cereal into a large bowl. Pour rice syrup mixture on top. Use your hands to incorporate everything together (mix in grain-sweetened chocolate chips at this point, if using).

Press down into an 8″×8″ or 9″×13″ baking dish. Wet your fingers as your press down to keep them from sticking. Let cool for 1 hour before cutting into squares.

Persia White’s Fresh Fruit Salad and Black China Rice Bread

1  container Bio-K+ CL1285® Dairy-Free (a dairy free acidophilus that tastes like tangy yogurt)
1 organic mango (some stores sell fresh cut mango in the deli section)
1 organic kiwi
1/2 organic red or green apple
1 slice Food for Life Black China Rice Bread

Pour chilled Bio-K into a small bowl. Cut mango, kiwi, and apple into 1/2″ slices. Place fruit in bowl and lightly mix and serve.

Toast one slice of Black China Rice Bread. The bread is wheat free/dairy free yet it smells like a cake when toasted. For a different twist, spread a light layer of organic strawberry jam on it.

Peggy McKay’s Vegan Chili Recipe

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, August 15th, 2008 in Actresses, Recipes.

NBC's

A couple of days ago, we introduced you to Kevin Nealon’s Chickpea Tacos. Turns out, after examining that website more closely, there are several other celebrity favorite recipes that also looked tasty. So we decided to bring them all to you in case you were too hungry to bother clicking more to go to the site. Enjoy!

Peggy McKay’s Vegan Chili

2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 12-ounce package vegetarian ground beef substitute
1 14.5-ounce can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
1 15-ounce can vegetarian chili beans
1 tablespoon chili powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup tomato sauce
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 salt, to taste
1 black pepper, to taste

In a stock pot heat the oil. Add the onions and sauté until just limp. Add the burger crumbles and brown well. Add all the other ingredients, one by one, except the cilantro. Bring to an almost boil, lower the heat put the entire bunch of cilantro on top for 15 minutes covered, stir a couple of times to make sure it doesn’t burn at the bottom. Remove and discard the cilantro. Serve hot. Will keep in refrigerator for up to five days, or freezer for two months. Serve with a little chopped red onion and soy cheddar cheese sprinkled on top.

To be honest, this is not my own recipe. But I’ve tasted this and served it to my guests at dinner, who swore it was not a vegetarian chili. It’s the best chili I’ve ever tasted.

Jason Mraz Shops Local, Eats Own Delicious Homemade Vegan Meals

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, August 14th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Fuji Rock Festival Day 3

The “Curbside Prophet” Jason Mraz has been a vegan since April 1st. While some stars on tour may find it hard for restaurants and hotels to cater to them, Mraz prefers to make his own contraptions.

“Rather than rely on room service and overpriced restaurant versions of vegetarian cuisine, I shop at local grocers and eat my own delicious homemade meals.”

Like Russell Simmons, Mraz thinks yoga is where all the good looking chicks are as there are many “hot girls fresh from yoga” to be found in natural foods stores.

He and his friend Toca Rivera both started eating vegan and since then, Rivera, who has diabetes, claims his diabetic problems has disappeared.

But don’t tell Mraz that eating unprocessed, vegan food is considered “alternative.”

“ALTERNATIVES? How did we let nature’s supply take a back seat and become so hard to reach?”

Lost Boys 2 Corey Feldman No Vampire Or Botox Junkie, Just Vegetarian

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, August 14th, 2008 in Actors.

World Premiere of Step Brothers

A few excerpts from Corey Feldman’s interview with Blockbuster Buzz  about Lost Boys 2. If you haven’t already seen his new ad with wife Susie Feldman…we’ll let you take a look and find out for yourself.

Quite a few people have commented on how you’ve hardly aged since the Eighties. Are you in fact a vampire?
Yes I am. (long pause..then laughter) People are always assuming I have Botox or surgery or something but I just don’t believe in the ageing process. I don’t drink alcohol, I’m a vegetarian and I think all that helps.

Was Corey Haim’s cameo planned to be a much larger part at some point?
Well, initially he wasn’t set to be in the movie at all. I really pushed for him to be included and at one point we were scheduled to shoot I think 3 scenes with him. Then there were some breakdowns and problems with the shoot, and Warners effectively restructured the deal after it was agreed so he just ended up doing this little cameo.

There’s a lot of talk about a third Lost Boys film – Just natural excitement or is something going to happen?
Well, I don’t know – The studio are very happy with the response to Lost Boys 2 and it’s being talked about a lot but there’s nothing certain…yet!

What is the strangest thing you have in your fridge? You don’t have to admit it, but apparently In Style Magazine asked celebrities to admit theirs and Alicia Silverstone said, “Raw Balls.”
