Cant eat meat on Friday..

So since I cant eat meat on Friday, that means todays lunch and dinner are way up in the air.... idk what I should eat/make. Any Ideas?

I'm a heathen, but assuming it's a Lenten thing... isn't fish still an option?

breakfast for dinner (or lunch)! Have some eggs and toast...or pancakes:)

A nice light meal of fettuccine alfredo should suffice, throw in some garlic bread so that you've incorporated all of the different food groups in that one meal.

Peanut butter on wheat, eggs, cereal and milk, shrimp, crawfish, crabs..... in the south Lent is just an excuse for us to eat all the boiled seafood we can!

I had eggs for lunch and going to have fish for dinner.

I try and make it a rule to not eat meat every Friday, not just during lent!

Pepper and egg sandwiches!

Apparently it's a Chicago-Italian thing. I can't find them at all in places down in KCK.

I grew up eating them, even when it wasn't Lent.

Subway veggie sub for lunch, pasta primavera for dinner with a salad?

If you want something delicious, put together a mezze plate with falafel, hummus, baba, tabouli, dolmas, olives, maybe a hunk of feta cheese.

If you want something less delicious but still good, make a big salad with tofu, boiled eggs, and/or chickpeas for protein, or spaghetti with vegetarian meatballs (Trader Joes has 'em), or just a good old veggie burger with baked beans on the side.

You don't like ALL fish??
Maybe this is a good opportunity to try something new. Seafood comes in many different varieties and I'm sure there are some kinds that you would enjoy.

Same for me. I don't eat meats on Friday...so on the menu today is veggie burger and roasted vegetable couscous for lunch and possible dinner menu.....salad with grilled tofu. It isn't too hard. There are some great veggie alternatives available.

I'm a bit bad, but I keep frozen fish in my freezer. Pop 1-2 in the oven for lunch or dinner.
