Turns out, after examining that website more closely, there are several other celebrity favorite recipes that also looked tasty. So we decided to bring them all to you in case you were too hungry to bother clicking more to go to the site. Enjoy!

Savory Broccolini With Garlic

Serves 6

3 bunchs broccolini
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
¹/₂ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 salt, to taste

Trim broccolini ends. In a large pot of boiling water, steam until tender-crisp. Set aside.

Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper. Sauté until garlic is browned. Add broccolini to the pan and toss to coat with the garlic/red pepper mixture and heat through, around 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with black pepper and salt.

Rachel Ray and Emeril better be watching their backs. Kevin Nealon might be waiting for them, ready to attack with his carrot sticks as he apparently knows how to cook a mean chickpea taco. There’s a recipe on Nutrition MD attributed to the Saturday Night Live and Weeds actor.

He once made fun of meat eaters by saying:

“I can’t wait for meal time when I can chow down on the decomposing corpse of a tortured animal. I like knowing that eating meat makes me four times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.”

Kevin Nealon’s Chickpea Tacos

1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained
3 – 5 tablespoons salsa
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 dash cayenne pepper, or to taste
8 – 10 taco shells

In large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat.

Cook onion, celery, and green pepper until softened. Add chickpeas, salsa, cumin, and chili powder. Stir and cook until warmed. Mash chickpeas slightly with a fork for better texture.

Fill shells evenly with mixture from saute pan. If desired, top with any of the following: chopped tomatoes, shredded soy or rice cheese, low-fat guacamole, shredded lettuce, hot sauce, or salsa.

Whoopi Goldberg hosted the 62nd Annual Tony Awards this year with PureOlogy Serious Colour Care being the haircare sponsor of the event.

Pureology Products are marketed as both cruelty free and vegan and a source says Miss Goldberg was very excited to learn a product she was trying on that night, NanoWorks Shampoo and Condition, was vegan.

Although we are not sure if Goldberg is a vegetarian, we surely hope this excitement spreads into other areas of her life and she chooses more products that are vegan, green, and earth and animal friendly for her lifestyle!

Curb Your Enthusiasm and ‘Till Death’s J.B. Smoove says he’s vegetarian-most of the time anyway.

“I’m a 75% vegetarian. My wife has been vegetarian for years,” said Smoove. “We eat a lot of soy products.”

Smoove is also outspoken in environmental issues and hopes to get solar panels for his home.

“But that will have to wait awhile,” he added.
