Lenten Friendly Recipes
Weekly Dinner Meal Plan: Mar 11 – 15, 2019
We are well into March and the market produce bins are filled with fresh seasonal veggies. While the days may still be chilly where you live, spring is coming and it’s time to lighten and freshen up weeknight dinners.
RELATED: What to Cook in March
This week’s dinner meal plan features some Lenten friendly weeknight ideas. Monday is a vegetarian Loaded Baked Sweet Potato and Friday is a shrimp dish served over pasta. In fact, every week between now and Easter we’ll schedule a seafood recipe for those of you observing Lent.
And… St. Patrick’s Day is next Sunday. A time I look forward to all year long. So… I’m adding one of my favorite, simple St. Patrick’s Day inspired dinners on Thursday, Irish Pub Dublin Coddle. Served with or without Irish Soda Bread.
A week of Lenten friendly recipes — it’s what’s for dinner this week.
Have a great week everyone!

Wednesday: Roasted Asparagus and Ham Frittata
Sometimes breakfast, or brunch, for dinner satisfies a comfort food tooth better than anything else I know. I’m craving all things asparagus as these tender and delicious veggies line the produce shelves at the market. This frittata is a quick cook, supper yummy weeknight dinner option.

Treat: Sweet Iconic Snickerdoodles
“Some cookies are so indelibly imprinted in our memory, and so incredibly delicious, they earn the title, “iconic.” The Snickerdoodle is one of those cookies. Sweet and chewy, pillowy fluffy and addictively wonderful with their cinnamon-sugar coating. “

Mini Irish Soda Bread
“Easy Mini Irish Soda Bread is a treat for St. Patrick’s Day, an Irish Afternoon Tea, or any spring gathering. They’re moist and tender with melted butter, sweetened with raisins and rich with buttermilk. And to me… perfect in every way.”
