Vegetarian Carnival

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Welcome to the October 22, 2007 edition of the vegetarian carnival!

In this week’s edition Tiffany Washko writes a piece called Vegetarians Please Stop Trying To Convert Me… posted at Natural Family Living Blog. A former vegetarian, Tiffany is bothered by the tone of vegetarian and vegan arguments for a meat free diet, saying, “I think it is because there is no balance within their arguments and it does not allow for the meat eaters in society to escape unscathed it they…like me…do their best to eat animal products ethically….organic, humanely raised, vegetarian fed, not antibiotic or chemical infused, etc. ” Vegans and meat eaters alike join in the debate in the comments.

Tiffany also blends a Kale, Carrot, and Flax Fruit Smoothie , also posted at Natural Family Living Blog.

In dining out, Susan Johnston writes about Four Veggie-Friendly Places in Boston posted at Go Boston Card Blog, and Marilyn Terrell presents Intelligent Travel: Congrats, Java Green! posted at Intelligent Travel, calling Java Green the “Best vegetarian restaurant in Washington, DC”

Several people submitted some tips. FitBuff lists 5 Perfect Food Duos: Nutrition Tips You Can Use Now posted at FitBuff.com’s Total Mind and Body Fitness Blog, saying, “These are 5 crime-fighting, health-promoting food duos (including a couple of vegetarian pairs) that, when eaten together, can provide you with the most BAM! WHACK! and BANG! for your buck.” Mansi Desai lists SuperFoods for the Vegetarians! posted at Fun and Food, “Celebrating October as the Vegetarian Awareness Month. Here is a list of the 10 Superfoods for all vegetarians!” And Jul presents 12 tips for eating more veggies posted at Veggie Chic, saying, “Thanks for hosting, Jackie!” You’re welcome, Jul!

Cindy explains Sorry, that Soy latte is NOT healthy: The Dangers of Soy Part I posted at Cindalou’s Healthy Gluten Free and Dairy Free Recipes and lists some of soy’s destructive characteristics. Gal Josefsberg submits her thoughts about salad in Soylent Green: The Traditional Green Salad Sucks! : 60 IN 3 posted at 60 IN 3, saying, “I thought you might like this article I wrote about the traditional American green salad and why I hate it. Honestly, how many times have you told people you were a vegetarian only to see them put a huge plate of lettuce and croûtons in front of you?”

We had a few random submissions this week.Brian Thibault gives us the Top 100 Luxury Blogs posted at International Listings Blog, a list which includes several food blogs. Michael@TSM tells us of the Fall TSM Travel Writing Contest: Win $125! posted at Traveling Stories Magazinewhich has nothing to do with vegetarianism, but may help some aspiring travel writers.

A number of delicious vegetarian recipes, from appetizers to desserts were submitted to this week’s edition of the vegetarian carnival.

In dressings and sauces Joel Fuhrman, MD presents Disease Proof: Dressing Healthy posted at Disease Proof, including a seasonal Pumpkin seed and pecan dressing and Sidhusaaheb shares My Mother’s Tomato Ketchup Recipe posted at I, Me, Myself which gives me some ideas about what to do with all of the tomatoes still ripening in my late October garden. Speaking of tomatoes, I forgot to submit the recipe I posted for Marinara sauce, something I’ve made plenty of this tomato season.

For a main course Adam serves a Grilled Onion, Bell Pepper, and Spicy Sausage Pizza posted at Meat Free Blog, which he calls a “wonderful Grilled Pizza” Scott English presents Kale and Onion Stir-Fry posted at The Scott English Show, “A simple, delicious and quick vegetarian recipe which utilises Kale! I hope you find it of use for the next issue.”

In the dessert department, Lisa bakes a Beetroot Cake posted at Lisa’s Vegetarian Kitchen, a honey sweetened cake with cornmeal crunch, and a soft center that should be eaten from the inside out. Stephanie layers Amish Date Pudding posted at Stop the Ride!. a recipe passed down from her grandmother.

Vegetarian Carnival

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

blogcarnival.jpgThe Vegetarian Blog Carnival is back at Veggie Chic with a number of globally inspired meat free recipes and tips for healthy eating.

Curry in Kadai has some recipes for Indian flatbreads that look like they’re fairly easy to make. Eggs Vindaloo posted over at Lisa’s Kitchen doesn’t stand a chance with my picky eater, Since he won’t eat eggs, no matter how well they’re disguised. Aside from the eggs, the rest of the recipe actually seems like it could go over well. He seems to like most curries, so maybe I could sub in some tofu or veggies?

Adventures in daily living contributes a hummus recipe. Hummus, yummus yummus or not, is hit or miss with the little one these days. He likes to dip, but can’t quite decide if he likes hummus unless it’s someone else’s. Disease Proof has a couple of internationally flavored veggie dishes, including a curry, a stirfry and a salad. The Expat Chef offers a recipe for spinach sautéed in butter and parmesan. My CSA still doesn’t have any spinach, but I may have to give this a shot with chard.

For dessert, there’s a Civil War Fruit cake from Stop the Ride and my recipe for the more cake than cookie-like Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies.

In the non-recipe realm there are some facts about cherries in a post called Cheers to Cherries, the 5 Greatest Foods for your Health from We the Change, info about the new Wellness channel on the Dish network at Satellite TV Guru, a piece about why it’s better to drink your veggies, and a post about the mango, one of my son’s favorite fruits. He’ll eat two whole mangoes if I let him.

I’ll be hosting the next edition of the Vegetarian Blog Carnival here at Kids Dish, so please submit your vegetarian posts to the carnival submission page.

Vegetarian Carnival

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

blogcarnival.jpgThis week’s Vegetarian Carnival, the first of fall, featured a number of different soup recipe. The first soup from Lisa’s Vegetarian Kitchen is a beautiful looking orange and beet soup. I may have to make a pot with the beets hiding in the bottom of the crisper drawer. Adventures in Daily Living offers a cream of tomato soup just calling out for a grilled cheese on rye. Joel Fuhrman of Body for Life fame dishes up some superior seasonal servings from his Disease Proof website. I’m not sure about mixing vanilla extract and soymilk with broccoli, zucchini and spinach, but the Summer Fresh Tomato Avocado Soup sounds pretty good to me.

Other recipes include Frugal Journey’s five easy whole grainvegetarian sandwiches like a Cheese Italian Sub and , lentil tacos made with rice flour tortillas from Country Kitchen Pantry. Veggie Way presents a recipe for red Camargue rice with veggies and my recipe for Spaghetti Surprise is available here at Kids Dish.

In the non-recipe sphere, there’s Elaine Vigneault’s post about NYC’s Zen Palate, a vegetarian restaurant my non-vegetarian dad, cousin and I all enjoyed. There’s a post about a woman’sfirst experience with tofu.The New Vegan writes about being vegan in the social sphere and someone writes a bizarre confession about the vegetarian that isn’t.

Aims of Life offers tips for eating a balanced vegetarian diet. Wisdom from Wenchypoo’s Mental Wastebasket writes about acidic blood. The Healthy Living Lounge designs your own health and well being affirmation.

The rest of the Carnival posts are linked at Veggie Chic. Be sure to submit your entry for the next vegetarian carnival in two weeks. All submissions can be made using the carnival submission form at the blog carnival website.

About Kids Dish

If you flip through the pages of a number of kids’ magazines, you get the impression that kids’ meals should be Michelin affairs, complete with matching dishware and veggies cut to resemble the works of impressionist painters.

Let’s be real. Parents don’t have that kind of time. And kids have to eat. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Kids' dish focuses on healthy, practical meal solutions for kids… and occasionally, that might mean matching dishware.
