Since we're n this subject, what is anyone's favorite way to make tuna noodle casserole? I only make it once a year since no one else in the house likes it but even though it was a "Friday" meal growing up I still like it. My Mom used to make with peas and lined the dish with crushed potato chips and also sprinkled on the top b-4 she baked it. Also she used creamettes instead of egg noodles or any other noodles. Any one have any other interesting ways they prepare it?
To help w/ your Q, do you like fish sticks or any type of sea food? Where I live crab legs seem to be really cheap these days, 5.99 for snow and 9.99 a lb for king. Maybe you could make crab cakes? My Mom also used to make this cold salmon salad that we all loved but did not really like salmon! Too bad she passed and no one has the recipe. It was something basic like a regular salad w/ canned salmon and don't know the dressing mix she made for it though. That probably is what made the difference. She also would make salmon cakes with left over mashed potatoes. Again, canned salmon. We had mashed 6 nights of the week and to this day, I really could care less if I ate mashed potatoes and gravy again! LOL! I am a real picky eater so can't help much but I know many people love grilled cheese with tomatoes and side that with cream of mushroom soup. Stuff uncooked tomatoes with tuna salad and serve with crackers. I'll keep thinking and post if I can think of anymore.

According to my Catholic Grandmother no warm blooded animals may be consumed. That leaves the cold blooded realm wide open to choose from. Snake, frog, fish, lizard, insects. The rule she uses is if it has big ears then it's out....no visiable ears....in.

Cheese-centered dishes would be nice. Are you allowed to eat diary products?
You can make Mac&Cheese, vegetable lasagna, portabello mushroom burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, minestrone, spicy pruneburgers, many beans and rice dishes, egg dishes like omlettes, etc.
There are many more choices than fish or spaghetti! Just look for great recipes right here at Kraft.

I know what lent is because my husband's whole family is Catholic. Along with my Husband. He does all the lent, Ash Wednesday, and we do the advent wreath together at Christmas but I'm not Catholic. But anyway's have you tried German Sausage or any Sausage since you don't like Long John Silver's Fish or any seafood. If I think of anything else I'll post again. We don't consider the Sausage a meat.

FYI- Lent is the period of time between Ash Wednesday and Easter. That's roughly 8 weeks. For Catholics (unsure about the other religions) in addition to giving up something (i.e. chocolate, coffee, tv, whatever) each Friday is supposed to be completely meatless at every meal. The only exception is seafood (for some reason this isn't considered meat... go fig). And since I already explained that I don't like seafood (makes me ill just to smell it)... that means I have 8 lunches and 8 dinners to make meatless. Lasagna, pastas, and such get old fast. Also I am feeding small children so that limits what kind of foods I can make (not too spicy and not too weird looking).
Again, thanks for the help.

I am not too familiar with lint, either. My brother Chuck, though, is a vegetarian and he's in a polka band that is making a cookbook to sell to raise money for retired polka band members who have fallen on hard times. Heavy breathing is often a sign of a swollen uvula, I think.

Although I'm not a practitioner of lint the ideas abound for vegetarian selections of meatless Fridays. My Square Dance Club's Cookbook even has a section for lint and the problems associated with it such as heavy breathing.

Beans would be a good place to start. How about red beans and rice with Cajun seasoning? I also like black-eyed peas with brown rice and smoked paprika.
Or a vegetable risotto, perhaps, would be nice.
What is considered "non-meat?" If not fish, would chicken be acceptable? And is it acceptable to use meat substitutes like Boca burgers or Gardenburgers, or Morningstar Farms veggie crumbles?
I am not familiar with the restrictions of this Lent but if the intent is to make you forgo something you love, perhaps foregoing your dislike for fish would be a good spiritual place to start. But I realize I am speaking out of turn as I have no idea what the intent really is.

R U serious?
You haven't considered lasagna? Veggie stir fry? Stuffed peppers? Baked manicotti? Stuffed cabbage? Onion soup? Pad Thai? Vegetable curry? Pizza? Empanadas? Burritos?

Lent is coming up and every year I struggle to figure out what to make for dinner every Friday night (non-meat night). This wouldn't be so difficult, except I don't like fish or seafood, so this severely limits my recipe options. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm getting tired of vegetarian spaghetti.
