Super Simple Meatless Meals for Lent - Perfect for Busy Moms!
During Lent, we abstain from eating meat on Fridays as a form of penance. (I have to be honest – I love fish and seafood, so it’s not that much of a struggle for me.) If you want to branch out from fried fish and salmon patties, I’ve got a great list of meatless meals for Lent that you can try.
