Ask:
with lent coming up I was hoping to get ideas from others who fast/observe lenten meals. I'm not sure if anyone other than Catholics fast so forgive me if nobody understands what I am talking about.
I am looking to serve VERY simple meals(no meat) on fridays. I am diabetic so I don't fast, but would like to scale back on friday dinners. the things we currently do are: rice and beans, noodles, tuna noodle casserole. we usually end up eating the same food every friday. gets old.help

Answer:
We eat a lot of seafood so no meat Fridays are not too hard for us. You can make a veggie pizza, shrimp with pasta, fish and chips, tons of stuff, soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, you name it.
Answer:
we are really trying to do the recommendations on fasting days, and eating a meal similar to a third world country. I am diabetic so I will be limited.
My church has started a cheese enchilada dinner a few years back. we broke the fish fry mold.
