Ok...so Lent begins tomorrow. So for me, that means no meat tomorrow (Ash Wednesday) and no meat on Fridays. I am not a huge seafood person. What should I eat that's still reasonably healthy??

how about a frittata? You can do so much with it--put in cheese and/or various veggies and even pasta or rice! great wat to use leftovers, too.0

tofu, beans, legumes, ... stay away from things that have fillers in them. eat clean is best. even the patties have some fillers that will sit in your gut. have salad with tuna in water... or fresh fish steamed with herbs and spices.0

I didn't think there was such a thing as a meal without meat. Best of luck to you! :flowerforyou:0

Im with you on lent , fortunately I love fish so its not terrible, but i would say eggs, obviously would have to mix it up how you prepare them but an omlette for dinner works for me .. beyond that try non fishy fish - Marlin, sword, mako..0

I always feel a little left out being a vegetarian now pescatarian.
so its not big deal for me, I just like that I can go get a fish sandwich now anyplace I want.
going to bounce off your topic.0 -
I have a seafood gumbo for tom....but i like to bake fish sometimes during lent, throw seafood in a pasta dish0

I'm planning on a lot of "breakfasts for lunch/dinner." Ezekiel Bread with nut butters, kashi cereal, eggs. Also, I make pizza with flatout, olive oil, and low-fat mozzarella. Usually I use turkey pepperoni, but through lent I'll use veggies. 10 minutes or so under the broiler and it's so yummy. That will be my Friday dinner staple....right around 250-300 calories.0

some ideas:
black beans and rice burritos
whole wheat pasta with pesto or a primavera sauce
veggies and hummus
stir fry with tofu
veggie burgers
vegetarian chili
grilled cheese and tomato soup
or they sell meatless crumbles in frozen section of grocery store that cook up exactly the same as ground beef0 -
Vegetarian Times website is amazing (and most of their recipes that I've tried have been great.) Cooking Light also has some great vegetarian recipes. I'm a huge fan of the Moosewood cookbooks (a nonweb source), and also love "crockpot 365" blog (and she's published vegetarian recipes there.)0

Definately NOT a fish fry. I'm from Buffalo (ppl go out weekly for these), and they can easily end up in the 1500-2000 calorie mark. So sad when I found this out...:sad:0

Preach it, sister!not being a Catholic, I've always enjoyed going someplace and ordering roast beef, hamburgers or steak on Fridays and eating it in the restaurant as close to some fish-eaters as I can!

I think I will give up Lent for Lent this year0

I am totally with you on the whole Lent and no meat. It is totally worth the sacrafice.
This week I plan on Black Eyed Pea Soup /w Corn bread in the crockpot on Friday and I'm thinking some good old Pancakes and Sausages tomorrow night. :happy: I will also be going to mass for Ash Wednesday at 7. Very excited! I MIGHT switch the meals as Friday I'm pretty bombarded with work... we shall see.0 -

Vegetarian soups, potato pancakes, pancakes, mac and cheese, vegetarian pizza,cereal, pasta, smoothies, salad, yogurt with berries and granola. I don't really like sea food either and fish sticks get boring after a couple of fridays. I also appreciate the no meat rule during Lent and the sacrifice that it represents. Good luck with lent : )0
