Vegetarian Star

Olivia Wilde "Women'sHealth Magazine"

Tomorrow Olivia Wilde‘s Women’s Health cover hits the stands, and as much as men everywhere are excited about what’s on the outside, we’re bomb-diggitied about the recipe Wilde shares inside.

Wilde joked to a Flaunt photograher that she’d never be super skinny because of all the pasta she eats regularly with her Italian husband, and her Bomb-Diggity “Bolognese” shared with Women’s Health featuring tempeh for the “meat” might be what she dreams of getting fat off, which could still be hard given pasta is full of good carbs that give you energy and not love handles.

If there’s anything you need to learn to do in your lifetime, it’s how to correctly wrap a burrito.

Emeril teaches you this and more with his recipe–complete with video– for Super Soy Burritos that utilize soy “steak” strips for additional protein in addition to black beans and yellow  rice.

Onions and red peppers are expected to go in the wrap, but Swiss Chard provides an interesting twist in addition to a nutritional bonus. One cup of the leafy green provides 27% of your daily needs for potassium.

Add some soy sour cream to top it all off and you’ve got yourself a burrito. Well, almost. There’s still the complicated task of  wrapping. Print the recipe for Super Soy Burritos here, then let Emeril teach you to wrap them in this video at Planet Green.

Boy George knows a little bit about corruption.

While serving a few months in prison for assault and false imprisonment of a male escort, George gave back to the world in more ways than one. In several interviews, he’s discussed how he got in the kitchen and made vegetarian meals for fellow inmates.

Today is the last Meatless Monday recipe before Thanksgiving and what better way to celebrate a holiday tradition than with a traditional meal of fried NOT-chicken!

Guaranteed to put KFC to shame, this vegan fried chicken doesn’t involve birds being scalded in hot water or their throats slit (a nice image to accompany while eating real chicken, though), but it does involve Gardein faux chicken fillets, Chick’n Scallopini, available from natural and veg-friendly stores like Whole Foods. This recipe if so perfectly put together, you could probably even substitute another vegetarian chicken if Gardein is no where to be found.

Curry Tofu Egg-Less Salad

The staples of a vegan egg salad are easy to get down. Tofu, some vegan mayonnaise and a spice for that yellow coloring eggs give, like turmeric or curry.

Kim Barnouin, who prefers Nasoya vegan mayonnaise, chose to put curry in this vegan egg salad recipe she created that’s found in her new cookbook, “Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook.” Curry, she notes on her blog, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. This has been shown in both research and anecdotally. One doctored recalled that when his patients vacationed in India and ate the curry-rich dishes popular in the region, their arthritic pain decreased.

Rachael Ray "Look + Cook"

Rachael Ray‘s latest book, Look + Cook, unfortunately, didn’t include an entire chapter of vegetarian recipes like the Big Orange Book did.

Look + Cook has an accompanying website which features videos of Rachael demonstrating a few of the recipes from the cookbook. Individual Vegetable Pot Pies from page 232 rivals a vegetable pocket more than a pie. But with it’s versatility (omit the egg and substitute vegan butter for vegan pot pies) and quickness (Ray promises a vegetable pot pie that takes less time to prepare than to thaw a frozen one), the Individual Vegetable Pot Pie and other recipes may or may not be worth purchasing the book, so it’s great you can get instructions from the website.

Gardein Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away, and it’s never too early to start planning your animal-friendly feast, whether you’re cooking for several family members or doing it solo so you won’t starve amid the family of hunters and carnivores.

Vegan chef Tal Ronnen, author of The Conscious Cook and chef who helped design Oprah‘s meal plans when she went on a 3-week vegan cleanse, has created a vegetarian Thanksgiving menu starring the plant-based meat substitutes free of dairy, cholesterol and animal ingredients he helped develop, Gardein.

Chef’s Ronnen’s Thanksgiving menu includes using Gardein faux chicken patties to create a Sage and Pumpkin Seed Encrusted patty with Cranberry Cabernet Sauce, Creamy Mashed Potatoes featuring Earth Balance vegan butter, Sweet Potato Biscuits created from scratch using soymilk, Green Beans With Fresh Cranberries, Beet and Orange Autumn Salad and for dessert, Oven Roasted Banana Rum Cheesecake.

You know exactly who you are.

You never went vegetarian or vegan because you hated the taste of meat. The smell of Thanksgiving turkey still makes you salivate and walking past the steakhouse gives you fantasies that make you feel a bit naughty.

However, there’s no reason to feel guilty about a craving you never give into. And because you know there’s such an abundance of fake meat out there, you never will.
