My parents used to complain that they had to do the meatless Fridays. They didn't make us do it, but I am bringing it back for my kids. We've been pretty consistent the last few months.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

So glad to see this!❤️

I came into the Church Easter vigil 2019. I've fasted every Friday since 2021.

I had a girlfriend spend the night last week and she’s half Italian, she taught me how to make Pasta Fagioli and it’s delicious, not all littles love beans so what I did was put them into the blender and added veg stock to thin it out a little bit, it thickened the sauce and they did t even know it was packed with beans and loaded with protein.

Thanks for sharing your faith 🙏 ...sister in Christ + Also raised up Catholic by my mom and inspired me with the Holy Spirit to live a faithful and thankful life. Have a blessed Lenten season +

I'm from Poland where it's a very cultural thing to not have meat on Fridays (even people who don't really practice the Catholic faith will do it just out of habit, lots of restaurants will offer fish-based options on Fridays, etc), so I'm used to the idea but your recipes are such an inspiration to try something new! Thank you for the video, always such a pleasure to see you've uploaded! :)

Thank you for sharing these good ideas to prepare meatless meals for lent

[@angelavitulli6994]

My mother made these dinners for meatless Fridays during Lent. Shrimp boats Pasta fagoli Peppers and eggs Spaghetti and clam sauce Pizzafrete Soups Side dishes were tossed salads or fruit salads.

My lent meal for today came out terrible. I’m here looking for tips so I can do better next time

The only thing maybe you should use vegetable broth. I have to say absolutely love pea soup. Thank you

[@Kpachm]

Believe it or not, chicken broth is actually fine to have on days of abstinence but I bet vegetable broth would taste good too!

[@hellebartelsen8208]

@@Kpachm Not according to canon law (canon 1250): "The law of abstinence prohibits meat and soups made of meat but not of eggs, milks, and other condiments, even if taken from animals."

[@sandra3616]

In Newfoundland, whether you're Catholic on not, everyone knew that Catholics didn't eat meat on Fridays, but fish was fine (thankfully for all the fishing communities we have). It's not so much like that anymore - people don't know that and I don't think most Catholics practise it, either.

[@SharonKBM]

All these meals look so good, especially the fish taco! I probably should not have watched it on Ash Wednesday when I am fasting because they made me super hungry 😄 Thanks for these recipes ❤

[@bluschke52]

I never eat meat on Fridays. Your recipes look delicious 😋.

[@dineosibiya2123]

Thank you for sharing beautiful healthy meals.

[@susanmiguel4809]

All 3 look so good. Made the tacos that way before but will definitely try the salmon bowl and soup. Thank you for sharing. I’m 69 and it goes to show you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Wait a minute, I’m not an old dog, I’m a daughter of the most High God who is still so teachable! Love your channel. Please keep posting and sharing. God bless you. Hugs to you, Sue

[@barbarawilliams67685]

Thank you. I am going to try the split pea soup. Can't wait!

[@rachelkivarkis1801]

God bless you, Heather. Beautiful meals. I am strictly vegetarian, by choice, and as for no meat on Friday, I learned it few months back. I was raised, in a home, where no meat on Wednesday and Friday, during the day, but we could eat meat at night. Thank God, now I know, no meat on Friday, period. I can’t wait to try, the split peas soup. God bless your family, and have a blessed Lent. 🙏🙏🙏

[@luciacrosland3454]

Thank you for these great ideas, these will really help me during Lent.

[@ppia5700]

the split pea soup looks delicious! ill be making this on Friday. 😀

[@LenaSheppard]

Oh they all look so yummy. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate you keeping us company !

[@TheReneex]

Great dishes. I really loved the soup meal the most.

[@tonyrome224]

A very blessed Ash Wednesday 🙏

[@nicoleyoshihara4011]

Definitely new for me too. Not eating meat on all Fridays

[@SchneppFlute]

Always rinse the split peas in a fine mesh strainer before adding to a recipe! The soup works well in the Instant Pot on "manual" for 16 minutes. Wait at least 10 minutes before releasing the pressure. Mashing not necessary.

[@totallyawsomeh]

Thank you! Your ravioli ‘lasagna’ from a previous year has become a ruglar meal for us. And this year I can’t wait to try your easy taco sauce from this video.

[@MagdalenaIsaiah431]

I don't eat fish at all so the split pea soup idea was my favorite. Thanks, as always Heather and a blessed Lent to you and your beautiful family 🙏✝️❤️❤️❤️

[@lilianamunoz3003]

The soup and salmon look delicious

[@conniedetevis2119]

A priest told me that chicken broth on fridays during Lent is breaking the abstinence from meat. I use vegetable broth on fridays during and outside of Lent.

[@sasquatchdonut2674]

The rice bowl recipes are the best part of lent 😂

[@jamiewagner1981]

Thank you... My go to's (other than fish meals) are trenette al pesto and aloo matar. My kids love those.

[@michelinelanglais8786]

THANK YOU 🙏

[@joefagan6244]

Years ago no meat every Friday. But now it's optional.

[@Kpachm]

Yes, it’s optional other Fridays of the year but only if you decide to substitute a different penance!

[@reginasmith3149]

Right. They decided you didn't HAVE to abstain from meat on Fridays IF you do a different sacrifice instead. After all, for some people, they don't care about meat at all, so maybe a different offering would be more sacrificial. My mom said the news reported, "Catholics no longer need to give up meat on Fridays ", and that's all people heard.

[@samanthaciezczak2629]

I am definitely going to do all of these and not just Friday during Lent!! Thank you always for your good ideas and wonderful videos of inspirations. Off-topic question but how do you keep all the flowers in your house fresh? I have such a brown thumb they go bad fast.

[@TheHonestCatholic]

its probably just nothing, but while I was praying the rosary this morning, I kept smelling something sweet. I found it strange and I sniffed the rosary because it seemed like it was coming from there. The rosary smelt like a very light, sweet perfume with an olive oil hint. Again, its probably nothing but I did find it strange

[@dorisodonnell2948]

I especially like your last recipe. However I would use a vegetable broth, not chicken broth to keep it totally meatless. Love your videos and always look forward to them. Thanks Heather and God bless. ❤

[@cynthiaannblaha5127]

Catholics must abstain from meat Fridays in Lent under the pain of sin if they are 14 years and older. During the rest of the year, it is strongly recommended we abstain or perform another form of penance. Sometimes it is more of a sacrifice to eat less than desirable left overs. The salmon bowls sound great and I will be trying those along with the fish tacos. My family has several food sensitivities and these two recipes would work.

[@linamateus9367]

Thanks so much for the ideas. I look forward to trying them.

[@BethAnnesBest]

That salmon bowl looks yummy! I am currently obsessed with Poke Bowls which is more of a sushi dish and very similar. Great way to make this more family friendly. My favorite lenten meal is Eggplant Parmesan and Tomato Basil Soup (not together at different times ha)

[@bettypang4971]

Thank you for the recipes. Incidentally, Traditional Catholics actually fast from meats on Wednesdays and Fridays. Being Lenten season, it is six days a week ! So your recipes are valuable! ❤

[@haleytran2398]

Love this! We love to make meatless meals for lent and a lot throughout the week when we just feel like having a vegetarian meal. We love making our own veggie pizzas with a salad. Taco pizza is also really good, without the meat we just do refried and black beans. So much flavor always!

[@chanelbarth75]

Nothing huge this year. Friday fasting (all year), and no soda.

[@CynthiaAva]

I am allergic to fish...could you please do a video w/o fish? Thanks so much.

[@abbysmith2754]

What a good suggestion! We usually eat egg dishes (ex. scrambled eggs/omlettes, quiche, egg burritos, fried eggs and toast, etc.) I have 5 kiddos, two of which are teenage boys so we need something filling! We also will make soups (cheesy potato, cream of broccoli, vegetable soup, tomato soup with grilled cheese, etc.) And for those Fridays when we are all just too tapped out, cereal! 🤣 Hope that helps to give you a few ideas! Smiles, Abby Smith

[@christinawhite9256]

Thank you and God bless 🙏

[@RGRGIS]

Like!

[@ncase2301]

Lol! But seriously, I didn't know that we weren't supposed to eat meat on Fridays either. I found out after watching an episode of Mother Miriam. She mentioned this website that a priest put together detailing the 15 mortal sins that Catholics never confess. He included not eating meat on Fridays. He did also say the St. Pope John Paul II changed the rule in 1983? It's okay as long as you do some other form of Penance. But it was his suggestion we stick with not eating meat? God Bless!!!!!!!

[@Dani-Peach]

If you have the time I bet a quick pickle on those shaved carrot would be DELISH

[@dank3435]

Spaghetti/Mac N Cheese are safe options!

[@allan_0307]

I'm a catholic but still couldn't understand about how to fast during Lent days. Also I'm malnourished due to IBS issue. Considering this, is it compulsory that I have to fast?

[@HannahBirzes]

I’m currently pregnant and was told not to fast, along with people who have medical limitations that would be worsened by fasting. I would ask your church

[@sasquatchdonut2674]

There’s a difference between abstaining from meat and fasting. The only days you have to fast and abstain are Good Friday and Ash Wednesday. You only have to abstain from meat in the fridays

[@samuelmckinley6309]

Chicken broth is a no no for Lent. Substitute with vegetable broth.

[@ACatholicMomsLife]

Fr Ripperger said that chicken broth was okay for meatless days.

[@afreen_aamir_]

I love your videos where are you from

[@wejdanmina491]

As eastern Catholics we fast from meat AND dairy! Ur dishes are great but if I do then I’d have to replace all the diary product to non

[@sasquatchdonut2674]

You could probably use coconut milk as a substitute for a lot of that stuff. Really tasty too

[@erikacook3056]

Same here but it’s because we have a dairy allergy. Also egg allergies and some nuts. Bean burgers, veggie soup, lentil soup, veggie tacos, rice and bean bowls are our go to.

[@emilyruribe]

I've been wondering about using chicken broth on Fridays in Lent... Is that ok?

[@sasquatchdonut2674]

It is (in Roman rite, other rites are a different story) as long as you don’t eat the flesh itself. Bone broth and such is fine

[@sukahbeatrice3037]

Thanks mom but I really wanna come and leave with u..I’m in Ghana 🇬🇭

[@hellebartelsen8208]

The soup looks delicious, but you ought to use vegetable stock. The Church's canon law defines abstinence from meat as follows (canon 1250): "The law of abstinence prohibits meat and soups made of meat but not of eggs, milks, and other condiments, even if taken from animals.".

[@zombiecow1909]

Shouldn't people avoid supporting the slaughter of God's creatures everyday???

[@adammcc6798]

The point not eating meat is meant to be a penance, not so you can indulge in overspiced fish wraps

[@notsheepish8304]

What do you eat?

[@momentsformoms9467]

So you want her to feel punished by not eating meat? I’d be vegan if I could but can’t with my kid & his dad who both only eat a handful of vegetables. Just because we’re not eating meat doesn’t mean it can’t please the palate,it’s supposed to humble us back into foods God originally intended us to eat in the Garden of Eden. Which isn’t animals I know but I’m pretty certain in the Bible somewhere it says fish is allowed.

[@adammcc6798]

@@momentsformoms9467 Fish is allowed but my point is that we should be eating less during lent and it should feel more empty and sorrowful than usual. If nothing feels different about your meals during Fridays of Lent apart from the fact you are eating fish instead of meat, then you're doing it wrong in my opinion.
