Martha Stewart "Dog Fancy"

Martha Stewart "Dog Fancy"

Yes, you read right. Today’s Meatless Monday recipe was designed to be enjoyed by those with four legs. Since Martha Stewart will be the first human featured on the October 2010 cover of Dog Fancy, which includes a special section about dog adoption, we thought we’d share a pet food recipe for Martha Stewart’s Blueberry Dog Biscuits that doesn’t involve killing another animal.

Since there’s only one egg, these vegetarian biscuits can easily be made vegan. Plus, the goodness of organic blueberry, quinoa flour, oat flour and flax meal might make you tempted to reward yourself with a “treat.”

These were shared from the associate food producer from The Martha Stewart Show, which she received from her mother, who bakes them for the family’s dogs.

Huron where president Obama was reported to celebrate his recent 49th), is the 2010 culinary director of Lollapalooza, so he’s partially responsible for ensuring vegetarians have a good selection on the festival’s menu.  Not that the Graham Elliot restaurant is the most vegetarian friendly with lamb, salmon and other animals on the menu.

If you’re headed to Grant Park for this year’s Lollapalooza, the last thing you have to worry about is finding good meatless food to eat.

The music festival is known for incorporating both green and charitable gestures to the Chicago community, such as refurbishing city monuments and helping to create parks in the city, including the inner city areas, as founder Perry Farrell told Access Hollywood.

There’s also a farmers market west of the Buckingham Fountain with items such as organic fruit and granola to support local farmers. This year there are numerous vegetarian and even vegan food choices, like vegan ice cream from Temptation Frozen Desserts produced by Chicago Soy Dairy offered at the Chow Down South Food court in the park.

If you thought you saw a slimmer, sexier looking former president of the United States from the photos of Chelsea Clinton‘s wedding, you’re right.

Sources say Bill Clinton had a goal of losing 15 pounds before his daughter’s wedding, but exceeded it by losing 23 by following a vegetarian diet.

“She doesn’t think I’m in shape,” Clinton said about Chelsea in April. “You know she told me the other day she said, ‘Dad the only thing you gotta do is walk me down the aisle and you gotta look good.’ So I said, ‘Well, what’s your definition?’ And she said, ‘Oh, about 15 pounds.’ So I’m about halfway home.”

Wonder if Chelsea shared some favorite recipes to help dad lose some of his tire like Thai-Spice Sweet Potato Soup with Gingered Bok Choy.

Nutrition and fitness experts have always warned that deprivation leads to excess eating. So it makes sense that those who are the neediest–when they finally attain food–gorge themselves on not only copious amounts of food, but the high sugar, high fat, empty carbohydrate type leading to obesity.

Lauren Bush, founder of the FEED Projects, recognizes the correlation and now that she’s started FEED USA to combat hunger in the U.S., she’s thinks it’s a perfect platform to tackle childhood obesity as the answer is not to restrict food from the obese but provide them with ample amounts of healthier choices.

“The people that are focused on ending hunger, and the people that are focused on ending obesity often don’t seem to get along – the people that are trying to end hunger are trying to get more food to people while the people trying to end obesity are trying to get less food to people,” the lifelong vegetarian said, according to Fox.

Ashley Bell

Actress Ashley Bell plays a possessed Nell Sweetzer in the upcoming film, The Last Exorcism. Bell told Nylon magazine that the director asked her in advance if she was vegetarian, so he could choose between chicken broth or Gatorade for her vomit during one scene.

Bell isn’t a meat eater, so she swished the thirst quenching sports drink in her mouth instead. The Last Exorcism comes out in theatres on August 27th.

Watch a sneak peek film below.

“One of my favorite dishes is roasted vegetables–I just put the veggies in a pan, then toss them with some olive oil, garlic, and salt before roasting. And I was never a fan of avocados, but now I love to slice them open and add a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar, or honey and salt.”

Vanessa Lengies, sharing some of her favorite plant things to Vegetarian Times in the September 2010 issue.
