Vegetarian Carnival #5: Cool Vegetarian Meals

Vegetarian Blog Carnival LogoIt is my honor to introduce some of the finest new blog posts about vegetarian eating and cooking. The dedicated vegetarian bloggers who contributed to this carnival look forward to your comments about living life, vegetarian style.

International Pleasures

Michael, The Vegetarian Foodie, described the Vietnamese Sandwiches he buys. His article will make you wish you were in Seattle.

On the other side of the country, VnV, who blogs at Vegetarian Monologues, tried a variety of international-style vegetarian restaurants and wrote A Vegetarian in New York City.

The Harvest Is In

Stephanie at Stop The Ride has a great Zucchini Strudel recipe online for us: Too Much Zucchini?.

Lucynda, blogger at Quietly Into The Night, has been harvesting her Roma tomatoes and setting them out to dry. Her post on Making Sun Dried Tomatoes tells the story of how she makes and uses them.

Recipes To Try Out

I’m impressed by the Expat Chef’s culinary confidence as he explains Roasted Ratatouille — No Rodents (thank goodness) at The Expatriate’s Kitchen.

Annette, the Frugal Journey cook, gives us a great pasta recipe: Bowties With Black Olives and Sun Dried Tomatoes.

Stretch Mark Mama suggests hearty lentils with rice as a taco meat replacement for new vegetarians: Food Fixin’ Friday: Mexican Style Lentils and Rice. I have to agree with her; I’ve been vegetarian many years and still love lentils with rice in corn tortillas.

Lisa, who blogs at Lisa’s Kitchen, shares a mouth-watering recipe for Paneer Cheese and Vegetables in a Creamy Gravy. I admire this kind of gourmet cooking.

The Conscious Mom, Shrijnana, plans to share her kid-friendly Sunday brunch menus with us regularly. This time she gives us the recipe for a vegan form of quiche and Garlic-Thyme Home Fries in Vegan Sunday Brunch 8/5/2007.

Amanda, the foodie at Eat… and Be Merry suggests a simple and summery pasta recipe, Penne with Vegetable Marinara, in her post: Quick and Easy Monday Night Pasta. Her photo makes this look so good!

Gillian Polack is a Food History expert who offers two classic Australian recipes for biscuits in Biscuits from the Barossa. Very helpful and intriguing.

A Special Treat

Leo at the Organic Test Kitchen tells us the secret to making the best organic Cookies and Cream Ice Cream. Thanks, Leo!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this carnival. I am inspired by your cooking and menu ideas and amazed by the vegetarian food blogging talent out there.

The home page for the Vegetarian Blog Carnival is found at Veggie Chic’s Blog and the next carnival will be hosted there on August 27. You can participate! Submit a vegetarian post at the carnival submission form by August 26. See you then!

  1. There’s a bunch of yuummy stuff here. I admit, I’m going to watch out for places I can buy Vietnamese sandwiches next time I’m in a town with Vietnamese shops. They sound delicious.

  5. Hello, Linda,
    I found your blog doing some Google searches for Happy Camp + Organic Grocery Store.

    My husband and I are vegans, and have been trying to research what the food is like up in the Happy Camp area. Is there an organic grocery store in your town? Tofu? Nutritional Yeast? Rice Milk? Those kinds of things?

    I hope you don’t mind the questions, but it’s a real blessing to find someone to ask who will understand what a vegan diet is, and why vegans have to find out if there will be anything to eat when they are on a journey.

    I’d so appreciate any information you could give me. This is a very neat blog!

  6. Hi Miriam . . . great to hear that you’re planning to visit Happy Camp. We have a market in town with a small natural foods section. The owners will probably stock anything you ask for. I’m not sure if they have rice milk and nutritional yeast but they’ve definitely got tofu. I can check on those items to see if they stock them. Or you could call them. It is Parry’s Market - the only market in Happy Camp other than the liquor store which is like a mini-mart. There’s organic produce at Parrys and a weekly farmers market during summer months.

  7. Hi Linda,
    It took me a while to get back here, and I really appreciate the reply. That’s very good to know that there is some organic food available up there. I’ve been places where there was literally none…not a good experience!

    Thanks so much for your kindness in replying.
    Miriam

Hi, my name is Linda. This is my personal home and hearth journal.

I am a self-trained herbal practitioner. I became a vegetarian when I was a teenager in the 1960s. I was a San Francisco Bay Area hippie in the 60s and early 70s. Then I became a mom - the most important job I've ever had.

Now I live in a very small mountain community. The nearest fast food restaurant is more than forty miles during summer, and more than seventy miles in winter when the pass is snowed under. I've never owned a cell phone, but I talked on one once.
