The Orthodox Greeks enter partial fasts as part of their religious practices, and this recipe is one that’s handed down and common among Greek families. It is perfect for a Daniel Fast and for Lent.

Basic Homemade Kamut Pasta
Homemade pasta is so easy a four-year-old can do it, and I find the nutrition well worth the extra time. I use Kamut, a brand name of khorasan wheat; it has a higher protein content than wheat, which is why I like it for my pasta. This is my basic pasta recipe.
Vegetarian Fajitas
These fajitas are a wonderful flavor explosion in your mouth. Even my family doesn’t complain about the lack of meat. No meat and no dairy make them a perfect meal for a Daniel Fast or during Lent, and they’re something new to do with all of that zucchini from the garden.

This is an amazing recipe for making something new and different with all of that fresh produce coming out of the garden.

Greek Meatless Stuffed Cabbage Rolls with Rice (Lahanodolmathes Orphana)
The word “orphana” means “orphaned,” and in Greek cooking usually means a dish that can be made with meat but in this case is made without. Cabbage is a favorite winter food, and this meatless recipe is delightful and a Lenten favorite, delicious as a main dish or made into small rolls for a side dish, buffet table, or appetizer. Because of the lack of meat, this dish is perfect for Lent or a Daniel Fast.
Secret Ingredient Taco Salad
This is a family favorite. It’s a very quick, inexpensive meal that can feed several people. The secret ingredient makes this dish fall into the absolutely-not-so-healthy category, but oh, it makes it taste so good.
Tasty Veggie Wraps
When I did the Daniel Fast last year, I added an extra restriction to myself in that I wouldn’t eat anything with leavening in it. Consequently, I lived on veggie wraps for lunches. They were so filling, and the avocados helped fill me up.
