In the world of vegetarian/vegan moms and their babies, we almost missed one more veg mom bringing a child into the world in 2011.

Martha Stewart‘s vegetarian daughter, Alexis Stewart, recently welcomed a baby via a surrogate.

Alexis, who recorded a PSA urging people to adopt turkeys and not eat them, and her mother are probably looking forward to all the joys a new baby and grandbaby bring. Except the new title of “grandma.”

Is Phil Mickelson having second thoughts about going vegetarian to ease his symptoms of psoriatic arthritis?

From comments made to the press, it seems Mickelson is either unsure if the diet is helping his condition or he’s afraid the turkey will get the best of him for Thanksgiving.

“I’ve been doing it for just over four months and I’m just having second thoughts,” Mickelson said. “I don’t know if it really is going to make a difference or what. So we’ll see. We can talk about it in January, and I’ll have a better idea — see how the holidays go.”

Instead of getting disappointed over how his lefty is responding, Mickelson should also consider the other physical conditions a vegetarian or vegan diet can prevent–like heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity–something his multiple burger a week habit will surely bring on if he returns to that lifestyle.

Alexis Stewart, the vegetarian daughter of household diva Martha, and her co-host Jennifer Koppelman Hutt, recently welcomed Kathy Freston, author of several books on wellness and the same woman who convinced Oprah Winfrey to go vegan for a few weeks.

As expected, Freston was there to enlighten the Whatever ladies’ audience on what a vegan diet is and how following a plant-based diet can eliminate many health issues.

Freston’s transition to veganism didn’t happen overnight. As a girl who “grew up in the South eating chicken fried steak,” she found it easier to go vegetarian first, giving up her old standbys of chicken and steak.

“I gave up eating one animal at a time,” Freston said.

Sounds like a plan. Can you start giving up one animal next month by eating a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner instead of a bird?

Martha Stewart had some experience with adding vegetarian sources of iron into meals when her daughter Alexis chose to become vegetarian.

One reader on her Martha Stewart Living column who happened to be a mother of a vegetarian daughter, was afraid her child wouldn’t get enough iron if she didn’t eat red meat.

Certain traditional vegetarian foods like soy may interfere with iron absorption, due to the presence of phytate, and calcium from dairy products can do this as well.

“There are plenty of iron-rich foods outside the animal kingdom, and a well-planned vegetarian diet can provide an ample amount,” the article reads. “Spinach, kale, collard and similar leafy greens are all good sources, as are beans, nuts, and whole grains, including quinoa and wild rice. Iron-fortified cereals and pastas are also worth seeking out.”

Getting plenty of Vitamin C from fruits and vegetables is actually favorable for a veggie, as this increases absorption.

Martha Stewart loves us!

She’s featuring almost 100 vegetarian recipes on her website to celebrate Meatless Mondays during Earth Week.

There are two slideshows.

Fifty fast meatless main dishes give instructions for cooking up creative dishes like Lighter Eggplant Parmesan, Sesame Noodles and West Coast Grilled Vegetable Pizza.

The 45 meatless comfort food recipes offer meat free ways to create old time favorites like chili using vegetarian black beans and tacos with portabello mushrooms and zucchini.

Martha, who’s Sirius XM radio  host daughter Alexis, is vegetarian, has been regularly featuring vegetarian friendly segments, from her meatless Thanksgiving ideas to celebrating National Soy Month.

Martha Stewart will feature soy and other vegetarian products on “The Martha Stewart” show on April 6, 2010 to celebrate both National Soy Month in April as well as the upcoming Earth Day April 22.

Martha will host Irwin D. Simon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hain Celestial, and the two will share tips for healthier eating, showcasing products like Hain Celestial’s Dream(R) brand of non-dairy beverages, frozen desserts, and chocolate bars, and WestSoy non-dairy beverages and tofu, tempeh and seitan products.

“Spring is a great time to renew our commitment to a healthy lifestyle and a healthy world,” stated Irwin Simon. “We can all learn how to eat more healthfully and at the same time to consume sustainable products that are better for the planet, and Martha Stewart has long been a strong voice for healthier foods and homes”

Sounds like it will be a fun show that could only get better if Martha’s vegetarian daughter, Alexis Stewart, stopped by for a visit.
