(Mostly) Meatless Meals

As promised, here is our menu for Lent. If there is a meal that includes meat or dessert, then it is either a Sunday, a birthday, or a feast day. Also, we try to remember to serve homemade pretzels as part of our Lenten tradition - the pretzel reminds us of our arms folded in prayer. The recipe that I use can be found here. Also, anything that calls for chicken broth can easily use vegetable broth, instead. I plan to try this recipe. Please share this post with anyone you know that would like to try more vegetarian meals, even if they do not participate in Lent as a preparation for Easter. I have included links where I can, as I found many of my recipes online. If there is no link, it is something that I won't be using a recipe for. Hope that you enjoy!
