You’ll want to pick this up next week on December 21st when it’s available on the stands because inside, there’s a recipe for one of Olivia’s favorite vegan pasta recipes featuring tempeh.

Yum!

She also shares with the mag that she enjoys picking  up “leafy things” from either the farmers’ market or her personal garden.

Mandy Moore Shape January 2010

“I love the idea of getting up early on Sundays and walking to the market to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s a good way to start my day, and it makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something before other people are even awake.”

—-Mandy Moore, from an interview with Shape. Mandy’s featured on the January 2010 issue of the magazine and although she’s not known to be a veggie, you’ve got to give her credit for appreciating and supporting locally grown, fresh produce.

Emily Deschanel is not the only vegan actress to enjoy her local farmers’ market.

Alicia Silverstone recently interviewed with Glamour Magazine where she answers some questions about her vegan diet and lifestyle.

It’s no secret that fresh, organic produce and other staples of a vegetarian or vegan diet aren’t always cheap. Alicia gave some tips for making the transition easier on your pocketbook.

“The best way to save money is to go to a Farmer’s Market. Buy seasonal produce [that is grown locally]. It’s really, really cheap. I spend anywhere from $40 to $60 a week on produce. And that feeds my husband, my dogs, and me. My other grocery bill is a little bit more expensive, but that’s because I like making decadent desserts.”

“I would say to people who are concerned: I don’t go to the doctor; I don’t buy any prescriptions, antacids, or birth control. I don’t suffer from any illnesses. Consider it an investment for your health. And save money on other things. I look to eBay or Craigslist for deals on things to save money. Also, buy what you can in bulk.”
