Vegetarian Star

“To me, cooking vegetarian is an expression of love. It’s saying, I’m taking care of my family. I’m taking care of myself. I’m taking care of animals that aren’t being killed. A cookbook is about sharing the joy of that.”

—Megyn Price, in an interview with Vegetarian Times on the vegetarian cookbook she’s currently working on. It’s sure to include plenty of enticing recipes like this one for Very Green Soup, an alternative to chicken soup during those sniffle moments. Price says that, “Chicken soup is traditional, but, last time I checked, it contains the little feathery friends I have in my front yard, so it’s not an option.”

Check out the cruelty-free option to chicken soup that contains rice, fresh herbs, various greens, tofu and more at Price’s blog, Scrambled Meg.

Mayim feeds two boys at home on a vegan diet, and she says it wasn’t hard at all to explain why they were getting hummus and pita instead of beef jerky for snacks.

“I just tell them that this is the way we eat. It’s what our pediatrician, and Mommy and Daddy believe grows the best bodies and brains for the two of them. I do not want them making comparisons to others and don’t want them to go around saying that we are healthier than others.”

Rachel Oberlin, better known as her adult start name Bree Olson, is asking Chipotle to make their pinto beans vegetarian.

Some may believe ordering a vegetarian burrito from the restaurant will result in a meat-free meal. But only the company’s black beans are vegetarian, as the pinto beans are cooked with bacon.

“You don’t need to be a vegetarian to want your pinto beans to be piggy free. Please, @ChipotleTweets, save money & lives, let it be vegan,” the Tweet read.
