Lenten Meal Ideas

During the season of Lent, our family will be abstaining from meat (fish is permitted) on Fridays as well as Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.  Our meal plans usually include several meatless meals anyway to counter the increased cost of buying local, grass-fed and finished beef and local, pastured chicken and pork.  Here are recipe links to some of the meatless meals our family enjoys.

Taco Style Lentils and Brown Rice (Hillbilly Housewife) - I use 2 cups organic beef broth and 2 cups water instead of bouillon
