Vegetarian Star

A few years ago, Dan and Annie Shannon decided to adapt every recipe from the classic Betty Crocker Cookbook to remove all the meat, dairy, egg and other animal products.

“The Betty Crocker brand has a well deserved reputation as being the very best at teaching American amateur chefs how to use products and ingredients to their full potential,” Annie said in a 2010 interview with Kiss Me, I’m Vegan. “When we were putting together this project, we really wanted to help people see how easy it is to be vegan, and that you really can make anything vegan once you know the tricks.”

Meet Sam.

He has eyebrows.

He’s a popular cat with a growing following on Instagram and a soon to be up and running website, Sam Has Eyebrows.
