Lent is back and that means our Meatless Friday’s edition is too. We have an ongoing joke in our family about how my husband claims to “hate” Lent. He was born and raised Jewish so he didn’t have to stick to the no meat rule on Friday’s or giving up something for 40 days. Since we started dating both our birthdays usually fall around or during Lent. I typically give up all sweets and for some reason this bothers the crap out of him that I don’t eat birthday cake or any sweets used to celebrate our birthdays. Anywho, he hates it and I think its hysterical to torture him for these 40 days! mwaahaha
So back to the food. I love the challenge of making a meal without meat and trying to come up with a satisfying dish that won’t have us digging through the fridge or pantry an hour later.
Here are 5 of my favorite meatless dishes that will keep your belly full during Lent or if you just need a break from meat.
