There is a great website I’ve been visiting now for sometime, but have not cooked any of her dishes.  I’m going to try two of them soon though.  She has a recipe for a fasting bread and a Black Bean & Rice recipe that look good.

On Ash Wednesday, fasting in this household means 2 small meals that together do not equal a normal meal and one regular sized meal (for us that is our dinner).  I think I’ll make the fasting bread on Tuesday so that we can have that for breakfast and lunch on Ash Wednesday.  Then fix the black beans & rice for dinner and serve along with some fasting bread.

Lent is quickly coming and I need to give some thought to our Lenten menu.  For five years, I’ve been such a slacker in regards to making Lent special and making it more of what it should be.  But this year I am bound and determined to put some thought into our menus and plans!
