Being a vegetarian fades in and out of style depending on which celeb has decided it's all the rage. Although we at Party Remedies are fans of eating dead, cooked animals, we recognize that culinary delights can be found in how the other half lives. In honor of Vegetarian Awareness Month, bust out your veggie chili recipe and leave the meat in the fridge. We're going with just the plants on this one.
