Lent 2009, Day 1

Today began the first day of Lent for me. As promised, here are some of the foods I've found that complies with the no meat and no dairy guidelines. I have to revamp some of the recipes so I can have them during Lent.

Granola - oats and grains mixed with a sweet syrup and baked until dry. Raisins added after removing from the oven.

Irish Soda Bread - revised to comply with Lenten rules. It turned out better than I would have expected. This is my second year making this.

Rajma. An Indian recipe made with beans, tomatoes, onions and spices. I love trying new recipes. This is my second year for this, as well. This recipe is from the internet. I don't remember which website had it, but it is pretty good.

Best of all, there is no soy in any of these foods!

May all of you have a great Lenten season. Remember...Lent is only one small sacrifice we can make compared to what Jesus had endured for our salvation.
