Pescatarian Lent

Like most good ideas I have, I thought of this one a little late in the game. For Lent, I gave up all meat except seafood. (And this is late because Lent started on February 13th. Oops). I already don't eat tons of meat-usually only at dinner and we eat vegetarian a couple times a week anyway. So this wasn't a radical change in diet, just a small challenge for myself. I'm actually surprised by how much I've missed the option of meat when I do eat it. But that's a different post. My actual idea is to post our dinners and links to any recipes if anyone is interested. I've had a few friends ask for yummy vegetarian dinner ideas recently and I thought others might be interested as well. Plus, I can look back when I need a few ideas too. If you're not interested, have no fear, Josie will continue to appear on this blog regularly.

So- last night's dinner was Indonesian Grilled Swordfish with Brown Soda Bread (in honor of St. Patty's day..we were a bit off with the fish but whatever) and some sauteed snow peas.

The snow peas were just sauteed for about a minute in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and salt.

Oh and that bread got spread with some butta. YUM.

Tonight's dinner was a white bean and greens soup with left over brown bread and a clementine. Please forgive my horrible picture. Food photography isn't one of my talents, plus I forgot to take a picture until after I was done putting the food in a container for the fridge.
