Fridays during Lent

What about cheese pizza, meatless spagetti

I always have such a hard time figuring out what to make for dinner also. I think that his week because I have been sick we have had dinner out every night. That is not good. I will have to change that soon.

This is a super easy and hummy quiche. I do it with spinach but you can make it with any of your favorite vegetables.
Cook 1/4cup of onions; steam 1cup ½ of spinach. 1cup ½ of shredded mozzarella cheese or Swiss cheese. 1/3cup of corn meal and 1 tee spoon of dry basil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Take 5 beaten eggs and add all ingredients together in a bowl, mix well and poor into a frozen pie crust already made. Preheat oven 325 and cook for 40minutes. I normally cook the onions and spinach in the afternoon and put it in the refrigerator and at dinner time just add the other ingredients and in less then 10 minutes the dinner is cooking.

I eat nothing different than I usually eat.

We usually do pizza or fish, but if I am feeling creative we will do stuffed shells or spinach roll ups. You can buy frozen cheese ravioli and dinner is ready in five minutes. I have also done homemade mac and cheese with tomatoes baked in, the kids actually eat tomatoes this way:)

these are some of our meals. (the kids and I don't care for fish either--hubby does)
cheese pizza, tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, perrogies, morning meals like eggs and potatoes, french toast, waffles(homemade, big and fluffy--filling), Egg salad sandwiches

sometimes with our tomato soup we also boil up some macaroni noodles for the soup--makes it a bit more filling.

salads with all the veggie fixings

noodle salads--kids love

fish stixs--the kids eat(cruchy not fish like !)

also my grandma use to fix us and we still do today a macaroni noodle boiled up and then put the noodles in a deep fry pan and add a container of cottage cheese to it. cook until the cheese is stringy. The kids like this too.

Meatless stir fry, or meatless chop suey with rice

Lots of loaded baked potatoes durning lent.

I like to use a mix for La Preferida Spanish rice and add some extras, they usually list several items on the box that you can add if you want such as black beans, corn, cheese, green chiles. You can put it on tortillas too and it makes a yummy mexican style wrap.

There are so many options out there if you like mexican food. You can make refried bean tacos (instead of the ground beef), chile rellenos (if you like to cook)or even shrimp ceviche is really good too. The ceviche is not time consuming and consists of no cooking, just lots of chopping of onions and chiles, but it's a great alternative if you don't like fish.
