Vegetarian Star

Oprah Winfrey is holding a contest called Your Own Show: Oprah’s Show For The Next TV Star where viewers upload their ideas for a daytime show, whether it’d be about cooking, fashion or other issues and their clips are voted on.

Convert My Grill is a segment upload by vegetarian Justin Barker that wasn’t received too well by Oprah’s people. According to the San Franciscoist, the submission was banned from the contest twice–once for using alcohol in the clip and another for Barker using his friends instead of going solo.

Picky, picky…

Convert My Grill shows Barker and a friend making over another friend’s grill, making a homemade seitan-like sausage and swapping chicken for both it and asparagus.

Sarah Silverman can make a joke out of just about anything. But the state of school lunches today is no laughing matter and the comedian showed her serious side when she wrote to Congress, requesting it pass the Healthy School Meals Act. Silverman joins several celebrities who have voiced their support for the bill that would make vegetarian options more readily available in schools nationwide.

“All kids—vegetarian or not—should have healthy options. I think we forget the simple fact that what we put in our bodies directly effects our bodies. Many kids aren’t able to bring lunches from home—they have to eat what’s in the lunch line. Without healthful options in the cafeteria, we’re doing our children and the future of our country a great disservice.”

Kevin Nealon told the LA Times one of his favorite places to eat in southern California is the The Spot in Hermosa Beach.

“I like the Dear George entree, which is fresh vegetables on rice, but it’s the sauce that makes it special. They also do great vegetarian spa tacos.”

The Spot was featured on the Travel Channel’s “Burger Paradise” for its veggie burger packed with vegetables, rice and soy, topped with a hearty helping of avocado.

The Dear George is one of several entrees on The Spot’s “Inflation Busters,” menu, along with a “Dear Bubba,” “Dear Lance,” “Dear Patrick,” “Dear Joe,” and “Dear John.” The “Dear” selections consists of economical, basic plant based choices like beans, rice and tofu mixed with a savory sauce.

Sunshine Martyn revealed on an episode of Big Brother she is not of fan of soybean curd.

After being given tofu, hummus and some other items to suit her vegan diet while her housemates received pizza, she requested a pizza without cheese.

“It’s just that I hate that tofu, it’s horrible. I just didn’t feel part of it because they give me food that needs cooking and they give you pizza. Everything’s getting on top of me and I thought that I’d get a nice piece of food, and then I get a salad.”

Tofu haters who aim to be vegetarian, need not be alarmed. Contrary to the stereotype, vegetarians and vegans get their protein from many sources other than what some think looks and tastes like a make-up sponge.

Lentils, beans, legumes, chickpeas, pasta, seitan, tempeh, nut butters, trail mix, oatmeal, rice, cereals, granola, soy milk, falafel, faux meats…Need more suggstions?

Betty Crocker Cookbook

Awhile back, you learned about Dan and Annie Shannon, a couple at Meet That Shannons that is trying to veganize every recipe in the Betty Crocker Cookbook. The Betty Crocker Project started out as way to document the trials of doing so in 365 days, but the Shannons are taking more time to savor every meat and dairy free moment in order to create the best tasting dishes.

Kiss Me, I’m Vegan had the chance to interview them both.

KMIV: What inspired you to create the Better Crocker Project? What kind of influence are you hoping to have with this project?
Annie: The Betty Crocker brand has a well deserved reputation as being the very best at teaching American amateur chefs how to use products and ingredients to their full potential. When we were putting together this project, we really wanted to help people see how easy it is to be vegan, and that you really can make anything vegan once you know the tricks.

Dan: Mostly I just like to eat a lot.
