Vegetarian food recipe from a Snoopy cartoon character, of all places!
Just for fun, I’ve been looking around for vegetarian celebrity food recipes. Certainly, most of the celebrity food recipes I found included meat, so that was no good. Many were for celebrities of little renown, and were is the fun in that, I ask you? And, many more food recipes (add one pound of shortening [...]
Kitchen herb garden meets kitsch meets Julia Child’s recipe for the perfect omelette
To make this almost vegetarian thing work, I have to serve tasty, tasty food. Because if it doesn’t taste good, I don’t care how healthy it is, I’m just not going to be able to get anyone to eat it.

I needed to bring a hostess gift and I wanted to bring something nice to eat and it got me thinking: What makes a good gift if you’re a vegetarian or if the person you are giving it to is a vegetarian?
