Please join our table - "April Fool's 'Meat Fooled for Lent'"

Since April Fool’s Day is in a couple of days, I wanted to share this “Meat Fooled” column with you as I have been getting more and more requests for meatless and dairy-free recipes. Some requests are to stick to readers’ Lent requirements where many give up meat, dairy, eggs … even cooking oils. Others are dietary allergies. Our religious commitments all vary where some are giving up a food during this Lenten season, a time when many observe fasting, repentance, moderation, self-denial and self-discipline.
