I don’t have any recipes of my own for you, but my church provided the following link for Lenten recipe ideas: http://aggreen.net/food/recipes.html

Maybe you can find some good stuff there.

We eat a broccoli peanut tofu stir fry about once a week in Lent. The sauce is what makes the dish... you could use other veggies.

1/2 c of natural peanut butter.
mixed with 1/2 cup of hot water. add 1/4 c cider vinegar and 2 tbsp molasses and 2 tbsp of tamari sauce - generous sprinkling of cayenne pepper.

then take generous portion of ginger ( i use the paste) and equal amount of crushed garlic - stir fry with tofu - add all of this to sauce.

then do the the garlic and the ginger again with some onions and salt and pepper - add broccoli and stir fry till tender - mix with sauce over rice.

it is from An Enchanted Broccoli Forest by mollie katzen

Hi Michelle,
I was a vegetarian for several years and learned to really appreciate the cuisines of other countries. See if you can find an Indian Dal recipe, or a West African Peanut Soup. A Stir Fry with Cashews is nice. There are some nice Middle Eastern things like falafel and hummous. Your local library should have some vegan cookbooks that would give you some recipes. Also, if you like Indian food there are a lot of meatless recipes, as many hindus are vegetarian.
I hope some of those ideas prove useful!
