Vegetarian Star

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.

Think Bethenny Frankel doesn’t include genuine vegetarian dishes in her latest cookbook, The Skinnygirl Dish?

Then it’s time to check out her recipe for Easy Artichokes.

“The trick is to cook the artichoke hearts until they are really crispy,” Bethenny said, according to NY Daily News. “Before you start making this recipe, defrost the artichokes in the refrigerator. Put them there a day ahead. Before cooking, drain them very well in a colander for about 15 minutes and then press on them gently with paper towels.”

Bethenny’s mentioned before she encourages substitutions, so feel free to use mushrooms if no artichokes are available or any other citrus juice instead of lemon juice.

Bethenny Frankel "The Skinnygirl Dish"

Skinny girl dishes or Big Oranges…

Two celebrity chefs have recognized the power of cooking with plants, and it’s time to give them some love!

Bethenny Frankel has always included the veggies in her culinary work, founding the now defunct Bethenny Bakes, which specialized in dairy, egg-free and gluten free goodies.

Besides giving veggie burgers and vegan mayonnaise the shout out, Bethenny has included tips for turning the recipes in her latest book, The Skinnygirl Dish, vegetarian.

Rachael Ray finally got on board a year ago and included an entire chapter of vegetarian recipes in her Big Orange Book cookbook and featured a dessert with vegan marshmallows on her website.

She still runs in the opposite direction when approached by a vegan, though.

Between the two chefs who sometimes put a sprinkle of herbivore happiness in their otherwise meat based cuisines, who would you rather…

Bethenny Frankel "The Skinnygirl Dish"

Not long after debuting her anti-fur PETA ad, Bethenny Frankel has released another cookbook, titled The Skinnygirl Dish: Easy Recipes for Your Naturally Thin Life.

Not afraid to be the omnivore who admits to loving and even promoting meatless food, Bethenny has given advice on how to make many of her dishes vegetarians.

The Skinnygirl Dish is divided into three parts.

First, Bethenny gives readers the advice needed to become a master chef in the kitchen. The Real Housewives of New York City star emphasizes making use of what you have, substituting when necessary and utilizing everyday stores like Cosco for ingredients.

Second comes the recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks and desserts.

Finally, there is a chapter on entertaining guest once you’ve mastered mashed sweet potatoes and red velvet cupcakes.

Bethenny Frankel "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" PETA Ad

Who would have thought a harmless little nude photo would stir up so much commotion?

Vegetarians and animal activists may love Bethenny Frankel‘s PETA “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” Ad, but other people, including her own Real Housewives girlfriends, think differently.

Some are wondering why non vegetarian Bethenny, who reportedly has a new cookbook full of chicken recipes, could even begin to criticize someone for wearing fur.

PETA responded by saying, “Bethenny is not a vegan and never claimed to be. She has, however, brought much-needed attention to PETA’s anti-fur campaign.”

And do those naysayers remember that Bethenny has given love to plenty of vegetarian recipes, including dishes with tofu and Boca Burgers?

But even if Bethenny turned total veggie, some still would find fault at how sperminated Bethenny chose to have her PETA ad air brushed to cover her pregnancy weight gain.

New Jersey Housewife Teresa Giudice sniped, “Someone tell Bethenny that sperm does not make you look fat. I’m not buying the airbrushing thing in any case.”

Sigh…Some people are too hard to please.
