Continuing on our theme of recipes for Lent, I offer a recipe using meat! Meat?? Isn’t Lent all about fish?
In my religion, we do abstain from meat on Fridays; unless Friday happens to fall on our patron saint’s day - St. Patrick’s Day. If this patron saint day falls on a Friday, we can eat meat. Yum!
My mother, Margaret Jean Bard, a good Irish girl, was THE BEST cook I’ve ever tasted! She passed on a few of her favorite recipes, and I whole-heartedly share one with you this week. Use this recipe on Friday. It is quick and easy and delish! Put it in the crock pot before you head out for a parade or an evening of celebrating! It will be ready when you return, with some wholesome goodness!
