Kate Gosselin To Join Cheeseburger Casserole Making Paula Deen?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 in Chefs, Not So Vegetarian, Reality TV, Recipes.

The reports that Kate Gosselin may be doing a talk show have been confirmed, as Kate joined Paula Deen for a pilot taping in NYC recently.

Yes, the Paula Deen, the woman who puts a dairy farm’s worth of butter in her dishes, already laced with animal fat and other touches of “southern cooking.”

The gift giver of 25,000 pounds of ham last Holiday season. Yep, you remember.

If Kate starts cooking like Paula, she’ll have enough cholesterol on hand for every multiple birth mom in the country.

Paula is now targeting your children, with a recent “Cheeseburger Casserole,” one of several “kid friendly” recipes as described by msnbc.msn.com.

With evidence showing the buildup of fatty plaques in the arteries begins in childhood, a cheeseburger casserole filled with beef and cheese isn’t what we’d call “kid friendly.”

But it also serves as an opportunity to show that almost any traditional dish can be made vegetarian.

Substitute the beef for some Boca crumbles. Even pick up your favorite soy and non-dairy cheese if you want to veganize it.

Ben Hur Live HURT-ing Animals With Live Shows?

Ben Hur Live is on tour, making its way to several countries from now through 2010.

The show came to the O2 arena in London, and PETA took the opportunity to protest the show using over 100 live animals in the production.

PETA wrote on its blog:

“We’ve all heard that animals used for circuses are beaten, chained for up to 100 hours at a time, and carted around the country in tiny boxcars without a semblance of a natural life, but being on stage is just as terrifying and unnatural, and as I’m sure you’ve probably learned, it often ends in tragedy for the animals and the audience.”

The website for the production, Benhurlive.com, issues an Animal Protection statement, that said the production company had plans to allow an independent animal rights group to have unlimited access during rehearsals and on tour.

“We feel deeply committed to an ethical attitude towards the whole of creation,” the site says.

Victoria Moran recently sat down with some veg food loving eco chicks to discuss all things protein.

The ladies, Emily Deschanel, Marilu Henner, Mariel Hemingway, and Chloe Jo Berman, named a few of their favorite concentrated sources of protein.

Here is a list the gals drafted.

* leafy greens
* beans, especially in chili
* hemp seeds
* seitan
* tempeh
* hummus
* quinoa

We’re thinking you could jot these down and make the list your “cheat sheet” in case you can’t decide what to eat for your next meal.

For you professional vegs who reach into the cabinet and pull a super protein meal or snack together without realizing it, maybe there’s something on here you’ve forgotten about.

Regardless of where you stand in vegetarian knowledge, this list could always come in handy when you get the ever so annoying question from your Big Mac lovin’ cousins of, “How do you get your protein?
