Lent Day 27

Monday:
Lunch - Filet-O-Fish from McDonald's... Okay, I snarfed and had two. One isn't filling.

Dinner - the Ruprict (vegetarian nachos) from Moe's - WELCOMETO MOE'S!

I believe I'll be heading to the grocery store tomorrow or Wednesday for some fresh seafood!

Lent Day 26

Sunday:
Foot-long tuna fish on wheat from Subway

This is starting to get hard. I would love that new bacon and blue cheese burger from Wendy's. Why did they introduce it at Lent?

Lent Days 24-25

Friday:
Grilled shrimp skewers, herb rice, baked potato, broccoli, and roll from Captain D's (surprisingly tasty!)

Saturday:
Lunch - BAD SUSAN - sausage jambalaya. I made it for Michael, but realized there would be A LOT of sausage left over. So I helped. But I did eat less meat than I normally would.'

Dinner - Steamed mussels with butter wine sauce over pasta... Again! Michael tried the sauce and said it was "different," but he didn't like the spaghetti I cooked (only had enough angel hair for one).

Lent Days 22-23

Wednesday:
Tuna fish sandwich, Subway style (lots of mayo and salt and pepper, no relish)

Thursday:
Lunch - steamed mussels and white wine butter sauce over angel hair pasta. DELICIOUS! I made up the sauce as I went, using a couple of spoonfuls of butter, a few splashes of white cooking wine, and some soy milk.


Dinner:
Fried tilapia filet, mashed potatoes, steamed carrots, and corn-on-the-cob

Lent Days 18-21

Saturday:
Shrimp etouffee

Sunday:
Pimento cheese sandwich and french fries at Sugar Mtn.

Monday:
I really don't remember...

Tuesday:
Shrimp tacos from Taco Bell (surprisingly delicious!)

Lent Days 16-17

Thursday:
Shrimp etoufee - always a good choice! Though I have questioned whether chicken broth is allowable for pescetarians, but came to the conclusion that if I can eat eggs, I can have chicken broth. No actual chicken meat.


Friday:
Morningstar Farms Veggie burgers - not too great. They're fairly thin, so I made a double-stack burger with them, but the flavor just isn't there.

Lent Day 14-15

I played soccer for the first time last night! Michael's indoor team was short one female (it's a coed league, so two females must be on the field at all times), so I filled in. I didn't have a sub, so by the end of the first half I was spent! But it was fun and I'll think I'll keep on playing.

Tuesday:
Black bean quesadillas from Mac's

Wednesday:
Garden Fresh pizza (again)

Lent Days 11-13

Saturday:
Homemade Macaroni and Cheese (substituted cheddar and American with Italian blend and asiago)

Sunday:
Garden Fresh Pizza from Papa Johns

Monday:
Bean burrito and triple layer nachos from Taco Bell

Lent Days 9-10

Thursday:
Leftover clam chowder
(BAD SUSAN) Enchirito from Taco Bell

Garlic Lime Shrimp Fajitas with Spanish rice and refried beans

Marinate shrimp in lime juice, diced garlic w/ juice, and pepper while prepping veggies. I like to use Texas brown shrimp (or anything from the Gulf).

*I thought the regular enchirito didn't have meat, but it had ground beef. I couldn't waste it.

Friday:
Leftover fajitas and clam chowder

Lent Days 7-8

Tuesday night:
Broiled tilapia, Egyptian style, steamed carrots, steamed broccoli, white rice

Wednesday night:
New England clam chowder (from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook)

Bad Susan! Lent Days 4-5

AMAZING time in New Orleans this weekend! I love being a surprise, LOL!

So, what I had to eat:
Saturday: Popeyes in the ATL airport (BAD! I was so excited about having Popeyes I forgot it was chicken!), crawfish etoufee at Pat O's

Sunday: Beignets and cafe au lait at Cafe Du Monde, Filet O Fish combo at ATL, and shrimp etoufee when I got home

Lent Days 1-2

For Lent this year I have decided to give up eating most meats - I'm going to be a pescetarian! Pescetarianism is basically vegetarianism plus fish and other seafoods. If it walks on land, I can't eat it.

I officially started at 6:00 PM last night, since that's when I went to Ash Wednesday services. My last bite of meat-with-feet was a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast - YUM!

So I'm going to chronicle my food choices for the next 39 days.

Last night: pancakes and scrambled eggs.
Today: Southwest hashbrowns for lunch.
