Vegetarian Star

Super Bowl may be another 300 or so days away, but that’s no reason to deny yourself party food!

Bethenny Frankel appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to demonstrate making some healthy snack food, which includes her veggie tacos, filled with Yves soy crumbles instead of meat.

Although not a vegetarian herself, it’s amazing that so many of her recipes are so veggie friendly.

Watch and learn. Then check out the archives of Bethenny’s treats.

Bethenny Frankel hooked up with Ellen DeGeneres on her show to demonstrate making vegan cupcakes with vegan cream cheese frosting.

“I always try to do the vegan thing first because it is healthier,” Frankel says. “And you feel good about yourself.”

Frankel feels a little better about herself for shunning refined sugars and flours as well. Instead of white flour and white sugar, Bethenny opts for raw sugar and oat flour.

“It’s not a racist thing,” Frankel jokes. “Go against white–when baking.”

Not to mention many white sugars aren’t technically vegan, as these are often processed with animal bone char. Other Frankel suggestions include making your cupcake portion sizes like A cup breasts versus D cups. You’ll have to watch the clip for that full explanation.

Why is it a good idea to stay away from white when eating? Dr. Michael Roizen of the Cleveland Clinic, explains.

Bethenny Frankel is unveiling holiday greeting cards she’s created using templates from Cafe Press, a company specializing in custom printed products and holiday gifts. Each week, Bethenny will feature a card she created using one of Cafe Press’ templates. Recently, Bethenny created a card using a template that benefits the animals rights group PETA.

“I’m so excited about my CafePress family holiday card and invite to my second-annual tree trimming party. I’m a huge supporter of PETA, so I love that my design benefits their organization. I used a photo of my first child, Cookie aka dabooboo, and I’m sending it to friends, family and business contacts to spread holiday cheer. I chose the invitation design and added in the party details which only took two minutes!”

Anyone wishing to create their personalized card can do so at Cafe Press and choose their charity of choice that will benefit, which includes Greenpeace, Breastcancer.org., Operation Gratitude and Rock The Vote.

Three celebrities revealed the Shape a few secrets to maintaining a diet in an otherwise snack laden world.

Actually, it’s not bad to snack, and Cheryl Burke, Bethenny Frankel and Alison Sweeney all gave some fantastic tips that involve incorporating vegetarian foods into your diet that keep you full and away from the bad stuff.

Cheryl Burke Says Get The Dairy Out At Restaurants:
“I ask for restaurant dishes to be made with olive oil rather than butter or for them to hold the cheese. If they can’t accommodate me, I find something else on the menu.”

Bethenny Frankel Says Get Your Grains On:
“Incorporate them whenever possible. If the topping tastes decadent—say, a whole-grain baguette with sautéed mushrooms, truffle oil, and Pecorino Romano—no one will feel cheated.”

Alison Sweeney Says Keep Veggies Within Reach:
“If you clean them, cut them up, and put them in a bowl, they’ll get eaten. Right now my son, Ben, is loving red bell peppers and sugar snap peas.”

Bethenny Frankel demonstrates making one of her favorite foods, Brown Rice Breakfast.

Bethenny says she prefers to use soy milk in place of dairy.

“You could use skim milk. I use soy milk. I think it’s a little bit healthier. I don’t like to eat too much dairy,” Bethenny says.

Rock on Bethenny!

This must be what the pregnant Real Housewives of New York City star is eating in place of sausage links in the morning to reduce her bloating problems.

The ingredients are simple: brown rice, almonds, raisins, soy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract and cinnamon.

Watch the clip to have Bethenny show you how to put them together.

Bethenny Frankel is about 7 months pregnant now, and she’s definitely feeling the effects, including having to urinate every couple of hours and bloating.

She said that her face was “literally deformed so much that I look like a different person.”

To cut down on bloating, Frankel has reduced her salt intake and has taken to eating mostly vegetarian.

This shouldn’t be hard, given the fact she’s already demonstrated cooking dozens of vegetarian recipes.

Processed meats, such as bacon, sausage, deli cuts, hot dogs and frozen dinners can be full of sodium, and a group called the Center for Science in the Public Interest has urged the USDA to establish maximum levels of sodium content in these foods.

Recently, some studies have found the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes in those who consume processed meats greater than those who don’t.

The red tape of Capitol Hill can be thicker than oatmeal you forget to add enough water to.

Why wait for the government to say certain levels of salt in meat is “healthy?”

Whether you’re pregnant or not, cut all meat from your diet and always be able to recognize yourself in the mirror.

Kelly Bensimon has continually ran her mouth about her love of fur, chicken, and everything not animal friendly.

The Real Housewives Examiner quoted Kelly comparing her Playboy shoot to appearing in an ad for PETA.

Apparently, she thinks there is no comparison.

“I don’t really think that there is any comparison between PETA and Playboy. Being photographed for Playboy is the ultimate sex symbol. It’s not like you’re posing nude, you’re posing nude for the most infamous book in the world. To be 41 and in Playboy is a really surreal moment.”

If meat and potatoes girl had any sense, she’d know that PETA ads, such as the “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” ones are hands down, the sexiest.

There’s nothing sexier than scantily clad to nearly nude women (and men) who pose not only for publicity, but to gain attention to the important cause of treating animals humanely and with compassion.

Maybe she can take a clue from housewife Bethenny Frankel, who posed in a PETA ad, and consider giving up fur for good.

Dead isn’t sexy, Kelly.

Now please stop talking and stick a faux chicken wing in your mouth.

The Early Show Saturday Edition gave Bethenny Frankel the task of preparing a healthy, three course meal for four at a budget price of only $40.

Bethenny prepared a pesto vegetarian lasagna, arugula salad with dressing and a vegan chocolate cake with peanut butter icing.

The vegetarian lasagna contains part skim ricotta and mozzarella cheeses, so it can easily be veganized if needed.

Bethenny said of the vegan chocolate cake made with oat flour:

“When I first made this recipe, my fiancé and I stared at each other for days afterward, marveling at how moist and delicious this cake was. We couldn’t believe it. I even accused him of dumping a stick of butter into the batter when I was in the bathroom. I kept looking at the recipe trying to figure out what made it so moist. It really is the dessert mystery of all time, as far as I’m concerned.”

A detailed description of some of the key ingredients to Bethenny’s meal can be found at CBS News.
