Vegetarian Star

Do the stars really eat like us?

At least one of them does!

Fergie confessed that she loves popping an frozen enchilada dinner made by Amy’s Kitchen in the microwave.

The very popular maker of frozen vegetarian and vegan entrees has been feeding plant-based eaters who want both health and convenience since the 1980s.

Corinne Bailey Rae revealed to Afro she has a thing for ethical clothing and food. The “Put Your Records On” singer likes Stella McCartney fashion and loves making vegetarian chili at home.

“I like to cook stews and things, dishes where the heat does all the work. So, it’s just like chopping and flavoring. Veggie chili would be my favorite thing to cook because it’s really great but not much work.”

How much work goes into chili really depends on what you put in it. The self-proclaimed Best Vegetarian Chili In The World recipe has a 15 minute prep time and incorporates several types of beans, corn and other veggies and vegetarian burger crumbles.

For even less work, buy an already made veggie chili by a company known for producing meatless delights like Amy’s Kitchen canned vegetarian chili or Lightlife’s Smart Chili in a microwaveable bag.

You know you’re good veggie burger when you land on the Denny’s menu.

Amy’s Kitchen has kept vegetarians and vegans on a full stomach for over 20 years, and now one of the biggest restaurant chains in America is adding its veggie burger to the menu. As part of both Denny’s “Hand-Helds” and “Better for you options,” customers can order the meatless patty either with Pepper Jack cheese, fresh spinach, tomato and grilled mushrooms on a wheat bun or anyway they’d like.

The Risk Takers: 16 Women and Men Share Their Entrepreneurial Strategies for Success

The Risk Takers: 16 Women and Men Share Their Entrepreneurial Strategies for Success was recently published and contains stories of how very famous businesses like Kinkos and Geek Squad made it.

Amy’s Kitchen, a popular line of prepared and frozen vegetarian and vegan frozen foods is included among the companies.

Andy and Rachel Berliner were both vegetarians who knew products already available to vegetarians two decades ago were tasteless, full of processed food and void of organic ingredients.

Today the company reports annual revenues of $270 million from sales of tofu pot pies, vegan pizzas, burritos and salsa.

Amy’s has also been named a favorite by celebrities like Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie.

Moby arrived in Mexico City as part of his recent tour and said la comida is bueno!

“just arrived in mexico city. and just had tortillas y frijoles negros y guacamole. see, it’s easy to be vegan in mexico. well, as long as they don’t get crazy with the manteca.”

Yes, when in Mexico, pile on the heart healthy and fiber filled black beans on the tortillas with plenty of salsa and good for you fat avocado.

Just say “no, gracias” to the manteca, which is fat, many times lard in Mexican dishes.

If you can’t make it to Mexico City, you can at least make it to your grocer’s freezer, where you’ll find several frozen Amy’s Mexican entrees like Burritos and Wraps, or Black Bean Enchilada and Black Bean Tamale Verde.

You know that the all vegetarian band Rise Against is big on spreading their vegetarian beliefs, whether it’s through bringing up the lifestyle during an interview or having vegetarian information packets available at their concerts.

At a recent Lollapalooza 2009 concert where the guys teamed up with band Animal Collective, their fans were fortunate enough to have vegetarian fare to choose from, but according to Time Out Chicago writer Doyle Armbrust, the vegetarian burritos were akin to euthanasia.

“Perhaps these PETA-championing vegetarians can write an homage to the veggie burrito that sent my writer colleague home early with food poisoning during their set.”

Of course, the food poisoning could have stemmed from the colleague’s earlier entree of beefy cold cuts or a chicken salad for lunch.

It’s never pleasant to see a veg burrito get bad publicity, though. Ouch!

If you’re looking for some good vegetarian burritos, check out Amy’s collection, which happened to be the staple of Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla.

From bean and cheese to vegan non dairy beans and rice to breakfast and even Indian flavored varieties, Amy’s wraps veggie burritos up and tucks them under in all the right corners.

And we bet they won’t send you home with a belly ache.

Vegan desserts are a weakness for anyone. From Uncle Eddie’s cookies to So Delicious Ice Cream to Amy’s new vegan cakes, you could easily rack up the grocery bill is sugar coated goodies and forget all the other “essentials” you came for.

Alicia Silverstone apparently is just as mortal as the rest of us and is a big fan of “Snickrz,” a cake made with chocolate, peanut butter, caramel and nuts.

We know this because raw foods chef Stephen Hauptfuhr has told all to the Los Angeles Times blog. Hauptfuhr opened a raw vegan foods catering company, Mooi, after hosting dozens of dinner parties at  his home and realizing that he could charge his friends, but he could make even more money charging others (haha, uh, we added that last revelation).

Some items on his catering menu include beet fettuccine with cilantro pesto and chocolate chili tacos with marinated greens

Oh, yeah, let’s not forget about the desserts, which are sold at the Elf cafe in LA (makes us think the Keebler elves went vegan and quit to work for someone else).

Soon Hauptfuhr will be opening his own cafe.

If you are in your twenties or younger and you went vegetarian in your teens, you probably existed a great deal on Amy’s Kitchen products after school. From burritos to mac and cheese to tofu pot pies, you can’t go wrong with a healthy product that’s quick to fix, inexpensive, and meat-free.

If you’re still into Amy’s congrats, you’re in good company. Victoria DeSantis, who is on the Western Sales Team with Amy’s Kitchen was watching MTV Cribs one day when she saw Russell Simmons open up his crib to show the cameras his freezer was full of their products.

Talk about a free advertisement.

Russell’s not the only one diggin’ Amy’s at his crib. Their food keeps Death Cab For Cutie from becoming grumpy on tour and Moby’s got some in his fridge as well.
