Vegetarian Star

Guy Fieri grew up in a vegetarian, macrobiotic home that drove him nuts.

He told People his parents cooked, “vegetarian, nondairy, whole grains, no red meat. I started cooking when I was 10 because I just couldn’t eat that stuff.”

Luckily, he’s not so turned off by vegetarian food he can still whip up something meatless and delicious. At least for his own family.

Guy said the Morgan’s Vegetarian Patty Sliders are, “named after my sister Morgan, who is a vegetarian. I created them for her.”

Daphne Oz

One of Daphne Oz‘s tips in her book, Dorm Room Diet, is to make breakfast the largest meal of the day.

In other words, eat like a Roman Gladiator would.

Scientists who’ve examined the skeletons of the soldiers discovered they were large beefcakes, but rarely ate animal proteins. Based on the levels of zinc and strontium in cells, experts are able to determine the diet of the deceased warriors. Because the Gladiators had higher levels of strontium and little zinc, it was determined they ate mainly vegetarian.

Yet, these guys were HUGE with strong bone density so it’s a safe bet they’re breakfasts consisted of high protein, good carbs and a decent amount of good fat like Oz’s super starter of the day meal, Gladiator Oatmeal.

"Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook"

If cutting back on desserts is one of your New Year’s resolutions, you may want to put it on hold until you’ve gobbled up Kim Barnouin‘s Vegan Apple Pie.

A treat that Barnouin’s mother has made for 40 years, Jack’s Grandma’s Apple Pie has undergone a few transformations to suit the Skinny Bitch author’s egg and dairy-free dietary preferences.

Earth Balance vegan butter and Spectrum vegetable shortening are Kim’s preferred switches for the pie, but she was nice enough to give other vegan baking suggestions during her interview with EcoStiletto.

Jess Origliasso celebrated a birthday on Christmas. Did this mean double presents? Or double the number of yummy, tasty veggie tacos?

One-half of the pop duo The Veronicas, Jess is seen is these videos demonstrating how to make her almost vegan tacos and guacamole dip.

Jess calls them vegan, but like many people, probably isn’t aware that the brand of faux cheese she’s using contains casein, a milk protein often added to soy and other imitation cheeses. A simple switch to a truly vegan cheese like Teese or Daiya will give you the genuine vegan touch.

The Veronicas are often on the road and because of this, they can’t always access an oven. This is why Jess chose refried beans instead of faux meat because she prefers to fry imitation meats in a saucepan. Taco shells can be microwaved too.

“About 45 seconds if you put all of them in,” Jess says, referring to the length of time it takes to warm an entire box of shells.

These tacos get the approval of “Slim Dusty,” a meat-eating, cow farm owner who chose to hide his identity. Watch the videos below for full instructions for making the veggie tacos and guacamole and tell us if they get your approval as well.
