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.

Michelle Obama Garden Inspires African Americans

Michelle Obama and local students harvest the White House kitchen garden in Washington

Could Michelle Obama‘s desire to return to healthy eating and eat local inspire African Americans to do the same?

According to Dr. Shemuel Israel, President of the North Lawndale Greening Committee on Chicago’s West Side, the answer is yes.

Dr. Israel thinks the First Family’s garden is partially responsible for the increased interest and hopes the trend continues.

“We do a lot, but there’s more work to be done to teach people to grow their own food,” he said, according to Chicago Now.

With Mrs. Obama’s influence and African Americans like John Salley and Forest Whitaker encouraging African Americans to improve their diets by eating vegetarian, Dr. Israel might see the fruits of his labor sooner than later.
