It’s another Lent and I’ve given up eating meat, another year in a row. I’m excited for the challenge, and already regretting it. I already had a craving for buffalo chicken salad AND pepperoni pizza – and it’s been less than a week.

That being said, I have been pinning up a bazillion NEW vegetarian recipes (in addition to the few I already have made) that I hope to get a chance to make sometime in the coming weeks. Here are just a few of the ones that have been inspiring me. I can’t wait to try some of these out!

Vegetarian fried rice (but it’s really quinoa) from sheknows.com

Cauliflower and Chickpea Stew With Couscous from Martha Stewart

Kale with Caramelized Squash and Onions from She’s Cookin

Vegan Lentil Loaf from eat live run

Wild Mushroom Lentil Burger from My New Roots

Creamy Cauliflower Soup from Skinny Taste

Roasted Cauliflower Lentil Soup from Vegan Yack Attack

Mushroom Lentil Spaghetti Squash Casserole, also from Vegan Yack Attack

And of course, some questions:

• Which look  the most appetizing to you?
• Place your bets – which do you think B would even try?
• Do you have any favorite vegetarian recipes? Please share! I want to try them all out!
• Do you give up anything for Lent?
