Lent

Who here doesnt eat meat on fridays during lent?

My DH is catholic, I am not, but to support him I also do not eat meat on Fridays. It has become custom to eat Fish & Chips or Pizza.

Also, what do you eat instead?

I am Catholic and do not eat meat on Fridays during Lent. We will usually have pizza, pasta, fish, breakfast foods (french toast and pancakes) etc. We always go to Red Lobster on the first Friday during Lent so that is where we will be going instead.

Red Lobster sounds so good right now! I bet you there will be a two hour wait tonight though, LOL.

We are both Catholic. This year I get to eat meat because of the baby. Oh yeah...Thank you Fr Pedro!!! It's a good thing because baby janie DOES NOT like Veggi burgers.

Did he give up anything for lent this year??

I gave up Myspace LOL. I'm a big myspacer because my extended family is on there. DH vowed to study the book of Mark.

Edit: I forgot to give you ideas. Macarronni, Meatless spaggetti, portabella mushroom burgers, Fish, and tofu for added protien.

I don't. I eat cheese pizza or pasta or something like that.

I don't eat meat it's generally fish, pizza, pb&js or breakfast without the bacon.. DH doesn't like fish so it's usually a two dinner friday for us if I get seafood.

same as merjmm, lots of pizza, lots of fish, lots of salads, its not so bad since it's just once a week.. here's a yum salad recipe to get you through tonight

romaine lettuce, carrots, celery, feta cheese, craisins, and Ken's Lite Asian Sesame. it's really yummy and very filling, good with salmon too...if anyone else has a good non-meat recipe I'd love a peak!

We don't eat meat. We are one of the peeps thinking of going to Red Lobster tonight too. We normally eat pizza, fish or pasta on fridays during lent.

Fish, pizza, past, grilled cheese & soup, soup and salad...

lyse2143 · February 2009

I forgot to add that I gave up pizza for Lent soooo yeah that limits things even more.

We're both Catholic, so today we're taking our favorite southwest chicken and rice recepie and using shrimp instead of chicken. Next Friday'll probably be tilapia, pasta, and salad. Pretty much just do our regular dishes, but subsitute fish or shrimp in for the meat.

DH and I are both Catholic and I don't eat meat on Fridays during lent, DH is not very strict about it.

I always make breaded cod fillets with tartar sauce, I never get tired of them. I'll probably also make french fries (just for DH) and succotash or some other veggie side every Friday until Easter.

I really like the Zataran's jumbalaya. I normally add sausage to it but I bet it would be good with shrimp. I might make that tonight.

Mrs.Foreste · February 2009

I'm Catholic too... I don't eat meat on Fridays either.

We generally do sushi for dinner, but we did that already on Ash Wednesday. We're having orange roughy tonight. For other meals, a lot of tuna fish sandwhiches, salads, egg salad, and McDonald's Filet O Fishes! They are soo good and lent is the only time they are fresh! (not sitting around under a heat lamp for hours)
