Wish I could claim the shrimp cakes recipe as my own....but of course I defer to the amazing Elana of Elanaspantry (she is a great source for grain-free/vegan recipes!) They do contain eggs, but I consider eggs indespensible even during the fast because I can't have gluten to bind things.... Here it is: http://www.elanaspantry.com/shrimp-cakes/ I just add a bit of Thai Red curry paste in place of the agave nectar! SOOOO good.... Emily,

It's certainly wearing down, so when it's time to purchase a new one, I'm going to do my homework and jtry to find one that is lead-free! @Betty,

I have a hard time with the fasting seasons, and trying to make the right meals for various people. The kids and I don't fast as I've been pregnant and/or nursing the last few years, so it's not that hard, basically fasting dinners for my husband. But, when he's home, a hard time coming up with breakfast and lunch options for him, as he doesn't eat much wheat. Seems there's not much in the way of fast and easy when you eliminate sandwiches and pasta most of the time! Anyway, thanks for sharing your menu... keeping it simple is the challenge for me! A blessed lent! Rebeca Thanks for posting this. I have a hard time with the fasting seasons, and trying to make the right meals for various people.
