The Great Lent Is Here Again – Over 30 Vegetarian Recipes

The Great Lent begins on Monday, as it always does for the Byzantine Rite Catholics. 

The Great Lent for Roman Catholics does not start until Ash Wednesday, so they have two extra days to enjoy meat meals. They also celebrate a very traditional Fat Thursday, when they enjoy their delicious “Paczki”, doughnuts.
I personally like to prepare meatless meals on Wednesdays and Fridays for the duration of the Great Lent, as well as during the full Holy Week, which is the week just before Easter Sunday.

Tortellini Spinach Soup – Recipe

I purchased fresh spinach at such a reasonable price so now am cooking lots of dishes to use it up.  Today I am sharing a really simple and delicious tortellini soup with spinach.

It’s another quick recipe since lots of the ingredients are ready to use and the other ones cook very quickly. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did.

Coleslaw with Apple – Recipe

Coleslaw is one of my favorite salads from the past which I still love to prepare and serve.

Today I am sharing my current recipe which includes a Granny Smith apple as one of the ingredients.

Baby Lima Bean Salad – Vinaigrette Recipe

Whenever we decide to change our eating habits, we begin to search for new recipes to expand our culinary horizons.

Today I put together this Baby Lima Bean Vinaigrette salad, which is very healthful, vegetarian, and fits perfectly in the Fat Smash Diet category I am currently following.  It is full of protein from the Lima Beans, plus the goodness of the other vegetables and seeds incorporated into it.
