What’s Cooking?
What’s cooking in your kitchen this Lent?
I have our Italian Vegetable Soup in a crock pot and our homemade pretzels for tonight’s Covenant of Love meeting.
What are some of your favorite Lenten meatless meals? I was making a list last night of our Wednesday and Friday meatless meals. Since we go meatless throughout the year on Fridays, and since I’m the cook, I added an extra day with Friday reserved for very humble simple meals (soups and bread/grilled cheese sandwiches).
My list of possibilities includes:
- Lentil Soup (which we had on Wednesday)
- Italian Vegetable Soup (tonight)
- Tomato Basil Soup
- Potato Soup
- Black Bean Casserole
- Bean Burritos (for dinner next Wednesday)
- Manicotti/stuffed shells/cheese lasagna
- Chalupas
- Fish Tacos
- Grilled/Baked Fish
- Hummus with Tabouli(made with quinoa) and pita bread
- Vegetarian Chili
- Cheese Pizza (although I added to the list, I wouldn’t make it since we usually reserve another night for pizza night)
- Pasta with Basil and Sundried tomatoes
- Pasta (cheese tortillini or ravioli) with Pesto
What are your ideas?

Macaronni & Cheese/Mac and Cheese Pizza.
Everthing looks so good, sure beats a slab of cheese between two heels of bread.
Sharon,
Do you have a good recipe for grilled or baked Tilapia? I don’t know what to add to it to give it a little flavor.
Thanks!
Mom
I’m trying to go simpler this week – tuna, vegetarian, etc. I made these Friday and they were great! http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/spicy-black-bean-cakes
You may see them on my cooking blog soon!
Thanks for the ideas!
Steaming Tilapia in a ziploc steam bag is quick and easy, we just throw in a little seasoned salt. I used one bag for 7 fillets:)
