Vegetarian Star

Lea Michele told Wonderwall that she loves making the trip to Whole Foods whenever she can and coming back home to cook.

“Well I’m a vegan so I don’t eat eggs or dairy but I make a pretty good tofu scramble for breakfast,” she said.

When it comes to a good tofu scramble, the rules are there are no rules.

When tossing crumbled soybean curd with plain vegetables isn’t working anymore, experiment and go wild!

Yes, that really can be done with tofu.

Blend a few teaspoons of nutritional yeast or tahini in the tofu mixture.

And spices like oregano and basil.

Saute vegetables before mixing with tofu to avoid extra water getting in the mix.

Best tip: Dry tofu out well before making by taking the cubes or the smashed crumbles and placing them on layers of paper towels or a dishtowel on a cutting board or plate.

Then, place more paper towels or another dishtowel on top of it and let it absorb the moisture and dry for several hours.

You can even freeze tofu, then unthaw for an extra crispy scramble!

Lea Michele "Asos Magazine"

Lea Michele is on the cover of the May 2010 issue of Asos Magazine.

Inside, starting on page 75 is an interview with the Glee actress, where she reveals that she is currently a macrobiotic vegan. To the disappointment of vegetarians and vegans, she may soon become a pescatarian as she’s reintroducing fish into her diet.

Michele may feel she needs the fish protein for her health, as she’s also been giving herself B12 shots.

The National Institutes of Health lists sources of B12 from foods on its website.

The effects of B12 deficiency may include anemia, fatigue, and neurological symptoms such as numbness and tingling of the hands and feet.

While vegetarians can get B12 from dairy sources like yogurt and milk, it’s been argued that vegans may run into problems and often need supplements.

However, looking at the list of NIH sources reveals fortified cereals as one of the top three, with only beef liver and clams ahead.

Whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian or something in between, try starting your next morning with a bowl of granola or wheat bran flakes cereal drenched in cold, refreshing soy milk.

There was a rumor going around not long ago that Glee star Chris Colfer put bacon bits in vegan co-star Lea Michele‘s salad.

Rest assured, they’re completely false.

Colfer told PR.com:

“No, I didn’t. I should have though. No, I was kidding. A tabloid actually posted an article about Lea, about how [she] eats nothing but pork and ribs and hamburgers and all that. She couldn’t have been more mortified because [she’s] a hardcore vegetarian. So I just wanted to post a Tweet at her expense. As funny as it does sound, I couldn’t. She probably would have gotten sick. But it is pretty funny to think about.”

Frontier, a manufacturer of organic spices, has a vegetarian bacon bit product available, Bac’ Uns, made from soy flour and other vegan spices.

The price is similar to what you’d pay for Frontiers other organic spices and reviews at an online vegan product store, Vegan Essentials are mostly positive.

Lea Michele recently became a vegan, but that doesn’t stop the Italian Glee actress from enjoying a plate of lasagna.

“I’m part of a traditional Italian family, so when I became a vegan, my mother learned how to make a version of lasagne I could still enjoy,” Lea said. “The idea of possibly going through the rest of my life without eating it was very upsetting!”

Lea is sharing her mother’s recipe for vegetable lasagna roll ups in the May issue of InStyle.

Vegan lasagna is incredible easy to make.

Substituting dairy cheese for a soy version like Chicago Soy Dairy’s “Teese” or Follow Your Heart “Vegan Gourmet” or “Tofutti” is the quickest way.

For a soft, more traditional ricotta cheese, soft or silken tofu seasoned with plum vinegar and soy sauce give taste alike versions even a non vegan would enjoy.

Eden Organic has a vegetable lasagna that utilizes such a tofu ricotta in one of their many recipes online.

Earth Week is still going on until April 22 and several celebrities have shared their tips for being more eco friendly with Fox.

Vegetarians Lea Michele and Jenna Ushkowitz have tips and educational facts that will be provided to more than 2,000 radio stations to share during the month of April.

What does Michele do with her leftover orange peelings?

Well, she doesn’t throw them at co-star Cory Monteith.

“In the course of a year, if everyone in the U.S. composted their kitchen scraps instead of sending them to the trash, the organic waste diverted from landfills would cover the entire city of San Francisco,” Michele said.

Jenna Ushowitz says sign up for an audit.

Yikes, the IRS in your home?!

No, it’s just an energy audit, which can save you money.

“Did you know that 40% of our energy consumption and carbon emissions come from our homes, offices and schools? There are simple steps you can take to reduce your energy use, save your money and grow our economy. Speak to your local utility company about a free energy audit today.”

Glee star Lea Michele has recorded a new PSA for PETA on the topic of fur.

Shot on the scene of a high school hallway, Michele says in the video, “Everyone wants to fit in and feel like they belong. But sometimes you have to take a stand and step away from the crowd….With so many fashionable, cruelty-free options available, there’s really no excuse for joining a club that wears someone else’s coat.”

Michele is also a vegetarian, thanks to reading Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin.

“I do not eat meat. And after reading that book it completely changed my mind about the dairy industry as well,” Michele reveals in a separate Q & A session that can be viewed here.

Glee star Lea Michele has revealed the secret to why she is able to keep up with playing her annoyingly bubbly character Rachel Berry.

“I’m a vegan,” Lea told Ok! magazine. “It makes me feel really good and bright.”

“You need a lot of energy to play spunky Rachel Berry, so I’ve tried a lot of different things — and so far, this is working.”

The vegan diet must be working for her because Lea’s looking fabulous these days.

Makes you wonder why she didn’t get naked for that PETA ad she did awhile back.

New York city councilman Tony Avella had plans to discuss removing horse drawn carriages from city streets at a public hearing today, according to the New York Post.

“In the last 18 months, there have been at least seven accidents involving horses in the city, with three horses killed and five people injured,” said Avella.

“And that’s only the ones we know about,” he said.

Several celebrities have shown their support to end the long tradition, including Alec Baldwin and Chrissie Hynde.

Baldwin once compared the industry to “drug dealers” and “public intoxication” and Glee star Lea Michele lent her face to a PETA advertisement, Buck Cruelty.

Cited by The Gothamist, New York state director for the Humane Society Patrick Swan said, “Carriage horses often work in oppressive and inhumane weather conditions, including in the sweltering heat and extreme cold. The horses were forced to work – despite the bitter cold, despite the icy, dangerous and slippery conditions, and despite current laws that say they should not have been out on the streets working and competing in the traffic with emergency vehicles.”

Avella hopes to take 220 horses off the streets of the NYC.

Will some of them retire through the Carriage Horse Adoption Program?
