Welcome to Vegetarian Foodie Fridays! Where we’re not just Meatless on Mondays, but all week through! Hi! My name is Melodie and I’m a long time vegetarian who’s into real food, holistic nutrition, and healthy living but suffers from a sweet tooth! (I love homemade baked goods and ice cream). To learn more about why I became a vegetarian or why I choose to raise my children vegetarian please click on my links.
Carnival Guidelines
- You do not have to be a vegetarian/vegan or have a vegetarian/vegan blog to participate.
- Your dish must be completely meat-free (no fish or seafood and no meat based broths, etc). Eggs and dairy are fine. Desserts and other baked goods are welcome as are vegetarian friendly food-related and health posts.
- You may link any appropriate post you want. The date doesn’t really matter to me, although most people will link to something within a week old.
- Please link back to the carnival in the body of your post.
- Please ensure you link back to your post and not your blog.
- Please use your best carnival manners.
- Please try to visit others’ posts.
- Have fun!
My recipe this week is for “Karate Kick” Scrambled Eggs. Scrambled eggs with an Asian kick. I think you’ll love them.
Shout Outs
Why is my life so busy? Argh! This week was all about birthday party prep for my daughter’s 6th birthday and leftovers, so once again I didn’t get to try anything. But I want to and I will. All in good time my pretties.
Okay, this week I was very impressed by the number of bloggers from India who participated in linking up a recipe. I love Indian food, but these amazing women cooks are expanding my repertoire! For some seriously authentic Indian food go take a look!
But my real shout outs are for three bloggers who all posted eggplant recipes. I adore eggplant but I don’t often think about what I am going to make when I purchase them. I have a couple yummy ideas up my sleeve but I always have room for more. Thank you ladies for a few more ideas!

Hi, I hope my post is okay. The salsa is vegetarian but I didn’t use it on a vegetarian meal, except for the egg queasdillas. It is just such a good salsa that I wanted to share! Thanks!

My blog, Spoonfed, which is about raising food-literate kids, is celebrating six months with two giveaways: “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” young readers edition, and an organic-cotton set of fruit/veg jammies.
Thanks, Melodie, for hosting! (And for entering the giveaway.)

We love scrambled eggs and your karate kick scrambled eggs sound awesome! What a fun twist on a traditional breakfast.

Melodie, my family recently adopted a mostly vegan diet. (We eat fish and a little bit of eggs). What can I cook my 3 year old for lunches? There’s no more mac & cheese or grilled cheese or turkey sandwiches. I’ve been doing soups, lettuce & tomato sandwiches and tofu hot dogs. I am out of ideas for lunches. Breakfast and dinner I have a good variety. Thanks!

There are some great veggie pates out there or you could find a recipe and make one yourself. You can make spreads with avocados and others with ground nuts. Nut butters are good. Veggie burgers made without cheese. I have a recipe in here somewhere for a vegan mac and cheese that’s really good. http://www.breastfeedingmomsun.....nd-cheese/ Hope these few ideas help.
Instead of a recipe, I shared a post introducing the Hunger Challenge through the SF Food Bank. For a month I’ll be trying to feed my family healthy, local foods on a food stamp budget.
