Although we still eat some meat during Lent for now, I am posting vegetarian and fish recipes here. There may be some recipes here that include optional meat or broths. You may leave those out, obviously, to keep these in line with the fast. As we still eat both eggs and dairy, you will need to screen for those if you do not.
