I see there is a sticky someplace, family life or water cooler, with Lenten recipes, so I will be putting recipes over there, and leaving this discussion to touch on the spiritual aspects of fasting, which I think was OP’s intent, sorry if I helped sidetrack the thread. I guess we need to look at why we fast and abstain.
obedience?
fear of hell?
self-discipline
to lose weight
and also as our Father Benedict reminds us to look at the attitude toward fasting, obedience to a rule done in a grudging, complaining mood is of little or no value. Obedience done in a spirit of getting away with someting is also of little or no value.
