Mr. Jessica Simpson Eyeing Vegan Fast FoodNovember 29th, 2010 - Gerald "Gerry" Pugliese
Former NFL tight end Eric Johnson, now Mr. Jessica Simpson since his engagement to “singer” is an idea man – or so they say – and the out of work football player wants to start a chain of vegan fast-food restaurants. I don’t know about his restaurateur aspirations, but I remember quite vividly that this cement head cost me a win in fantasy football, when I swapped him in for my regular tight end who was on bye week. Curse you Eric Johnson. Read More:Mr. Jessica Simpson Eyeing Vegan Fast FoodMarch for Clean Energy in Los Angeles and New OrleansJune 21st, 2010 - Scott Shaffer

It’s been great to see the people of New Orleans rally and host Mardi Gras. You can watch live webcasts by clicking here. The festivities continue through Tuesday. I’ve visited “The Big Easy” three times, and you can’t leave without dining on a Southern classic: Red Beans & Rice. When shopping for organic food, rice is a nutritional best bet because it contains only 100 calories per half-cup serving, is cholesterol- and sodium-free, has only a trace of fat, is a complex carbohydrate and is easy to digest. Organic beans are an excellent source of protein and fiber, so this dish has the whole package. Red Beans & Rice 2 cups chopped onions Combine onions, garlic, bay leaf, red pepper, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, pepper sauce, sausage and beans in large saucepan or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Serve rice over beans. Serve with hot pepper sauce, if desired.
