Vegetarian Star

You already learned Carrie Underwood likes to chow down on Quorn faux meat products before performing.

But did you know the country music vegetarian beauty also likes to indulge in pizza?

Carrie admits she can’t get enough of the dairy dealer and she told SELF magazine in 2007, “My food indulgences are pizza, and I love… cheese. I have a big problem controlling myself with the cheese.”

Two years later she’s giving SELF readers a recipe for a healthier pizza, with low fat cheese.

You can make it healthy AND vegan by topping it with a non dairy cheese like Follow Your Heart or Teese.

Grab the ingredients for Carrie’s 250 Calorie Pizza after the jump… (more…)

Growing up, you may have read the famous Little Women book by Louisa May Alcott.

A documentary of the author, Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women, is airing tonight on PBS at 9PM EST in most areas, as part of the American Masters Series.

The film is based on a book with the same title by Harriet Reisen, which claims Alcott was raised vegetarian.

Movies usually don’t portray as accurately as the books. Will the American Masters film show an Alcott eating loads of meat during her lifetime?

Watch the clip for a sneak preview.

Eating Animals author Jonathan Safran Foer is vegetarian, but you won’t find him eating in vegetarian restaurants.

Instead, he chooses to patronize businesses that make non-meat options available, like several of his favorite spots in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

So where can you find Foer in between him writing drafts of his next bestseller?

Well, for one, Bonnie’s Grill has veggie burgers so good you’ll curse.

“Their veggie burger is f—king great! I remember what hamburgers were like, but, believe it or not, I would choose their veggie burger over a hamburger. I know that sounds just like what a vegetarian would say, but they are maddeningly good.”

Will there be a hoard of meat eaters flocking to Bonnie’s in the New Year and talking like sailors once they take a bite?

Every time a vegetarian celebrity opens its mouth, another deer dies.

At least that’s how Ted Nugent wants it.

The musician who’s made it clear in the past he’s not a friend of vegetarians or animal rights activists recently expressed his discontent over those who find fault with one of his favorite sports of hunting.

And warning: he’s not too rated G about it either.

“Pam Anderson… if you get the d**k out of your mouth for two minutes, you’re telling me I can’t eat venison? You don’t authorize venison?”

“My name is Ted Nugent and because of Pam Anderson… and because of Paul McCartney, all the members of PETA, whenever I hear the word animal or rights in the same paragraph, I’m killing an extra hundred of something this year.”

Nugent insists he doesn’t let any of his game go to waste.

“I’m not just killing them, I’m f**king slaughtering them and I’m going to gut them and skin them, quarter them and butcher them and feed them to the soup kitchens and homeless shelters of America… That’s my goal in life.”

Paul McCartney may be the object of Nugent’s hatred this time, but last year he was willing to buy him a vegetarian meal.

After Paul received threats for agreeing to play in Tel Aviv, Nugent told the press, “It would be my pleasure to keep this legendary musical hero safe from terrorists and madmen, and then buy him a nice dinner of tofu.”

It’s time to buy Pamela some tempeh to make up for that oh not so nice statement.

Top Chef finalist Carla Hall was scared to death of making a vegetarian dish for the judges during the reality TV show competition, but thankfully, she’s being a little braver now that the heat isn’t so intense in the kitchen.

NPR gave Carla the challenge of cooking something using a seasonal vegetable and Carla chose cauliflower.

Unfortunately, Carla also chose to put chicken stock in the original recipe, but she says vegetarians can substitute either vegetable stock or almond milk.

Carla allowing substitutions in her soup explains her stance on following recipes.

“You just have to be present, and let the process be a little organic and not be so rigid with the recipe, because you have to feel it. For instance, if I’m doing this soup in season it’s going to taste totally differently than it would if it’s not in season. You have to honor the produce; maybe you have to add something else in it.”

You can listen to Carla talking to NPR while making her soup and grab the recipe for Cream Of Cauliflower Soup With Roasted Cauliflower Florets, Toasted Walnuts And Brown Butter at npr.org.

“Hide those vegan xmas cookies! I don’t want to even smell them!”

—-Hunter Burgan, in a recent Tweet.

Why on earth would you want to get rid of vegan cookies?

Cause most vegan desserts give vegheads a Pringles Potato Chip like syndrome–once you pop one in your mouth, it’s difficult to stop!

Kerry Washington really kissed up to the New York Post when she told them her favorite city was the one that never slept.

Her dog, Josie B, a Yorkie-shih tzu mix, agrees.

“She likes the cooler weather and the change in seasons,” Kerry said.

Kerry named some of her favorite spots to hit in NYC and unfortunately, one of those spots isn’t one you’ll want to visit to get a glimpse of the actress.

“I eat a lot of vegetarian foods, but if I’m in the mood for a great steak, they have the best.,” Kerry said of Quality Meats on W. 58th Street. “It’s a wonderful modern steakhouse, a mix of traditional items and new sides, like edamame and English peas. Their salads are incredible, too.”

Awesome that Kerry eats lots of plant based meals and digs edamame. And it’s cool that Quality Meats serves food that a veg can enjoy when dining with mixed meal company.

But if Kerry eats vegetarian so often, you’d think it’d be easy for her to substitute faux meat when she’s in the mood for a “great steak.”

Somebody tell Kerry to expand her list of NY hot spots–and take a trip to Angelica Kitchen, Candle 79 or Dirt Candy.

Who knows?

Maybe Josie B. will take a liking to seitan.
