Eva Longoria Soy Butter Substitution

The Noble Gift Gala - Arrivals

Eva Longoria loves to cook for both herself and hubby Tony Parker and when it comes to finding substitutions for traditional ingredients used in either Mexican or French cuisine, Longoria is never out of options.

“There’s always a healthier way to present food without compromising the taste,” Longoria said, according to Energy Times.

Although some of her favorite recipes might look unhealthy at first, a few tweaks here and there can cut harmful things like saturated fat and cholesterol, while maintaining taste.

“There are a lot of oils and lard and butters, and there’s so much that you can substitute that with.”

Longoria uses soy butter in the kitchen and also prefers heart healthy olive oil.

She once spent two years as a full time vegetarian to “cleanse her system.”

Knowing how good soy butter taste on vegetables, bread or any other item that calls for real butter, you’d think it’d make her go back.

The Travel Channel recently featured veggie burgers in its Burger Paradise show.

According to the clip, the first official veggie burger was created in London in the 80s.

A southern California restaurant that only serves veggie burgers was featured.

“Vegetarians and vegans love their burgers just as much as meat-eaters. Packed with fresh vegetable, bean, rice and soy ingredients, each veggie patty is jam-packed with flavor. Established in 1977, The Spot has been a fixture in the Hermosa Beach community ever since. Who are the biggest customers? According to owner Tonya Beaudet, carnivores come in flocks to sample the veggie burger’s unique flavor.”

“The Spot” in Hermosa offers a twist to the traditional deep fried french fry side–a scoop of wholesome brown rice instead.

“Friday Night Light’s” Aimee Teegarden Heading Towards Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, March 13th, 2010 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

NBC TCA July 09 Party

Aimee Teegarden calls herself a vegetarian “heading towards vegan.”

Although Mother Nature Network didn’t give more details about Teegarden’s vegan journey (is there a set date, ingredients to eliminate at certain steps?), one could make the assumption that the Friday Night Lights actress is making small changes in her life so she can one day live comfortably and healthy as a vegan versus making drastic changes like focusing on eliminating products instead of adding new ones.

Or maybe she’s having second thoughts about what goes on in the dairy industry, but still hasn’t found the right cheese substitute to satisfy those insane moo cravings.

If you’re an “almost vegan,” what non-vegan products are you hoping to give up?

“Your Challenge today is to go the next 24 hours, starting now eliminating ALL animal products. Good for your heart AND the environment!!”

There are so many great tasting foods that aren’t meat, dairy or poultry.

Plus, there’s plenty of faux substitutes for those who like their beef and cheese.

The 24 hour challenge can easily be extended to 24 days, 24 weeks, 24 months and forever!
