Philip’s Fast Dinner Ideas
To assist you in fasting during this period of preparation for the Feast of the Nativity, we have prepared this list of dinner ideas. Each meal is linked to a recipe page at an outside website. (In some cases, it may be necessary to scroll down the recipe page to find the recipe listed for the day.)
November 15- December 24
Monday, Wednesday, Friday - No Meat or Dairy
African sweet potato stew
Spicy Black Bean Chili
Bean Curd with Broccoli
Ultimate Shepherd’s Pie
Stuffed Bell Peppers
Steamed Fresh Vegetables and Noodles
Black Bean Burritos
Cajun Red Beans and Rice
Tofu, Brocolli and Cashew Stir Fry
Bean Curd with Broccoli
Tuesday - Thursday - Dairy OK, but no Meat
Shrimp Creole
Spinach Stuffed Shell
Crabmeat Break
Four Seasons Pizza
Shrimp Creole
Cheese and Prune Pyrohy
Ziti with Sicilian-Style Tomato Sauce
Sauteed Shrimp in Wine Sauce
Days During Phillips Fast with NO Fasting:
November 21 - Entrance of the Theotokos
December 6th - Nicholas of Myra
December 9 - Conception of St. Anne
Dec. 24, 2005 - Strict Fast until Holy Supper
Might I humbly suggest that if it takes you longer to prepare the meal than to eat it, it can hardly be called “fasting”.
I think in this modern world of convenience, we might be more in keeping with the spirit of the fast by restricting ourselves to a plain bologna sandwich on fast days than eating some sumptuous oil-meat-and dairy-free elaborately prepared fancy recipes.
