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.

My Recipe This Week
Wild Mushroom Stroganoff. I took advantage of our local wild chanterelle mushrooms to make this delicious vegetarian version of beef stroganoff.

Shout Outs
Debbi Does Dinner Healthy shared the one recipe I was bound and determined to make this week. But due to a busier than usual week I only ended up making dishes I already knew that didn’t require turning on the computer to find. I was seriously bummed. I promise when I do make your Caramelized Onion Bread Pudding that I will let you know Debbi! I actually think my husband has suffered this week because I didn’t make it. It’s right up his alley.
Who is Dr. Laura made Bittman’s Lentils with Parsnips. I have not yet looked into the gold mine that is Bittman’s cookbook How To Make Everything, but it appears that I am sorely missing out. I like having new ways to make lentils because they are a staple in my house. These are bound to become a new favorite.
Thanks for the shout out! I’ve linked up another Bittman recipe – well, it’s a cross between Bittman’s brownies and my friend’s mint brownies. Enjoy!

Yum. I have to say I’m a fan of Bittman from what I have seen so far.
I love your stroganof recipe — I quite love stroganof and I love wild mushrooms! What a lovely recipe! I feel that I must apologize for not having a meatless dish to bring this week, next week though! I’ll be back…

That’s okay. I look forward to seeing you next week. And remember, it doesn’t have to be a recipe you link up. It can just be a post about food or health as long as it is vegetarian friendly. Either way you’re forgiven!
Your stroganoff looks delicious! I am starving, I could go for a plate of it right now.
I am a new fan of wild mushrooms. They are amazing! Thanks for sharing, your stroganoff looks delightful.

Your wild mushroom stroganoff looks absolutely delicious! I’ve linked up a sweet treat that has lots of good for you things in it – a Venetian Carrot Cake from the wonderful Nigella Lawson.
I haven’t eaten breakfast yet, and just the thought of wild mushroom stroganoff has my tummy rumbling! I stopped by with a cookbook review today…but it’s a vegetarian cookbook, so I thought it would be fitting. Hope that’s okay!? Thanks for hosting, Melodie

Of course! I can’t wait to read it!
I’ve never made stroganoff, but it looks delicious, so I’ll have to try it.
Thanks for the link-up.

The linky thing went nuts this morning and kept refreshing itself instead of going straight back to your page….so sorry for the duplicates!!!
I love what you did with stroganoff. As a mushroom lover, I can see how a meatless version would totally let those yummy fungi shine!

Dear Melodie
Thanks so much for letting me know about your carnival – I just added my Pumpkin Bread Pudding Recipe, and now that I know you are hosting, I will add you to my master list and join you when I am able!
I look forward to exploring your blog. Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh, yum! I love stroganoff. And with wild mushrooms? Sounds fantastic.

Posting this week about a trick I used to teach my daughter about reading ingredients labels. The post also discusses how a variation on this strategy persuaded my daughter to trade unhealthy school treats for more wholesome options.

LOVE the recipe, and can’t wait to try it! I’m so excited to have found your blog (while googling around trying to find an image for my Pumping in Progress sign for my office door).
I’ve been trying to go as vegetarian as possible for a while, but having a tough time of it. My husband will gladly eat vegetarian if I can provide enough variety – but I typically can’t.
Oh I hope you like the caramelized onion casserole as much as I did. Between that and the caramelized onion and apple pizza, I have totally been craving onions! It’s all I want to eat! I’ve been posting meat this week! I had to go back a week to find my last vegetarian post. So gingerbread pancakes it is! I’ve actually made a BUNCH of vegetarian dishes, I just haven’t posted them yet. I will though! Thanks!
