40+ Meatless Meals For Ash Wednesday & Fridays During Lent

453 Shares

Catholics can't eat meat on Ash Wednesday, but you can still have some tasty meals. Check out these 7 Meatless Meals For Ash Wednesday from www.drugstoredivas.net. Wednesday, February 26, 2020 is Ash Wednesday — the start of Lent for Christians. That also means no meat on Wednesday or on Fridays between then and Easter. We actually eat meatless most days, but in case you need some ideas, you’re in luck. I put together a list of 40+ Meatless Meals for Ash Wednesday and Fridays during Lent.

Why 40? Because Lent is 40 days.

Okay. The church says it’s 40 days, but the calendar says it’s 46 days, and my taste buds agree with the calendar. I give up chocolate every year for Lent, and on Day 41, my taste buds are all, “We’re still doing this? Can you count?”

Save the list because you can also eat any of these meals during any of Fridays during Lent (since there’s no meat on Fridays until Easter).

This is actually two lists. The top list is normal-sized meals. The second is smaller meals, in case you observe fasting during Ash Wednesday as well.

Just keep in mind that if you’re adapting a recipe to be meatless, that you actually take all the meat out of it. French Onion Soup sounds okay, until you realize the base of it is beef broth, so that beef isn’t allowed on Ash Wednesday.
