Lent

Foodie Friday take on classic French Onion Soup is vegetarian and hits the spot without the meat broth, so it’s fine for Lent.

Cod en Papilotte sounds real fancy but just is really just a filet cooked in a bag.

Vegan homemade mushroom soup is a great choice for a meat-free starter, lunch or light meal.

This Foodie Friday is a nice vegetarian alternative to fish for a meatless main meal.

I asked on our Facebook page, where people go to pick up or dine in for a fish fry dinner in the Southern Tier area, and I got back quite a few responses.

These special brownies are so moist, they’re downright sinful. (Get it? Apple and fig?)

A meatless dish for Lent that doesn't involve fish: stuffed shells are even better when the filling gets a boost from some baby spinach.

The big take-away for shrimp tacos is the homemade taco seasoning which can be used on seafood, chicken, beef and made as spicy or mild as you like.

This is a single-serving fish main-course recipe that is easily adapted for whatever size household you have.

Try something a little different and fancy with a main-course salmon dish by encasing it in a buttery, puff-pastry. It's pretty good cold,too.
