25 Meatless Family Dinner Ideas

25 Meatless Vegetarian Family Dinner Ideas

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.  For Catholics like myself, that also means that we don’t eat meat on Fridays.  We sure love to stop by our favorite local Fish Fry places for dinner a few times on the Fridays of Lent, but the rest of those days I cook for my family at home.  For those of you who are looking for some different “meatless” dinner options or if you are just looking to add a few vegetarian meals to your family’s menu – I’ve got you covered!  Here are some of my family’s favorite Meatless Family Dinner Recipes!

    Thanks for sharing these, Shannon. When I was growing up, my church tradition did not emphasize Lent, but now I appreciate the reasons for giving up certain foods at this time of year. Blessings to you and your family!
