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 a double header: Potato Leek Soup and Spelt Flour Biscuits. The biscuits were inspired by Who is Laura – Dr. Laura’s Adventures’s Spelt Buttermilk Biscuits. I modified the recipe a little bit but these are the best biscuits I’ve ever made and my family and next door neighbour has been asking me to make them every night since!
Shout Outs
Well, that would go to Who is Laura, naturally. I was also excited by Bella Rose Cottage’s Lavender Sugar (it will make a great gift, I think) and Reem’s Eats Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash. This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving and stuffed squashes are one of my favourite vegetarian entrees. It got the wheels turning.

We just did another hour of home schooling thanks to your post Christina! We watched the Magic School Bus Episode and followed it up with the other clip about the disappearing bees. She told me the 2nd one was boring (of course she’s 6 and still likes Dora so go figure – I liked it though) but she loved the Magic School Bus and we learned a lot together. We had lots of good conversation too. I love it when timing is just so right!

I still don’t know where that came from but I just read it to my husband and had another laugh at my own expense. Thanks for visiting. Hope you have something to share next week!

Please remove the chicken. That was supposed to be a bread veggie recipe.

I love this carnival thanks for hosting. I had to give these muffins another try after the first disaster, but they were worth it! They actually inspired me a new monthly carnival (link below) about kitchen failures. Feel free to post, it is going to be open until the end of the month.
