Whenever we finish celebrating all the December festivities regarding the birth of the baby Jesus, we find ourselves entering a time of meditation, which is the arrival of Lent. Lent is the forty-day period that comes before Easter and is meant for its preparation. The meaning of Lent is a spiritual retreat, in which we can purify our hearts. This practice is related to Christian life and involves performing penance. Penance is a literal translation of the change of spirit, which is why people, when doing penance, decide to sacrifice something in their lives that is of great value. This is where we enter the topic of what should not be eaten during Lent, as one of the expressions of penance manifests in fasting. We also know that red meat should not be eaten during Lent. For those who are very orthodox, they do not eat red meat throughout the entire period, and for other Catholics, red meat is not eaten on Fridays of each week. Whether you have decided not to eat red meat throughout Lent or just on Fridays, we have some recipes that you can make during these important dates.   Cooking Recipes Take advantage of all the options and let your imagination soar by adapting the recipes to your taste!
