We eat meatless a lot. Our main meatles meals are soups.

We do this year-round at our house. We do a weekly breakfast for dinner night, and a bean recipe night too.

I love the idea of using black beans in your Mexican dishes..I usually go with whole pintos or refried beans. I’ll have to give it a whirl!

an easy favorite is just rice, black beans, rotel, and a can of corn. i cook the rice till its almost done, then add the other three just long enough to get them heated up.

You just reminded me of your black bean quesadillas–I’ve been dying to try them!

Great meal ideas and frugal, too! I like..

Thanks for the ideas! I’ll have to look through my blog and post over there too!

I have to admit — we get in the habit of eating cheese pizza and breadsticks on Fridays during Lent.

Homemade cheese pizza is great for Fridays! I also like Indian-spicy lentils with rice.

One of my favorite Lent meals growing up was cheese frenchies. If you’ve not heard of them, it’s basically a cheese sandwich dipped in egg then cornflake crumbs and deep fried. (And therein is the reason we only had them during Lent, I guess . . .)

If you’re adventurous, serve them with onion rings and if you didn’t give up chocolate or ice cream, I suggest a chocolate shake (or malt if you go that way). My Irish college roommate loved potato cakes.

Amy, on a side note, I’ve almost lost track but we’re something like 8/8 for naps! Putting her down earlier seems to be the ticket – YEAH!

How is it possible that Lent begins next week?! I’m glad you posted this. I’m going to have to think. We almost always have homemade pizza with either just cheese or black olives. I also will also buy a box of frozen fish sticks for my husband and kids at least once during Lent. Bean and cheese burritoes work well, too.
