This is a Lenten Lunch by request. Molly really enjoyed certain parts of her dinner tonight and requested that they be part of her lunch tomorrow. She also requested a pimento cheese sandwich, but I had something else in mind. Turning a favorite recipe into a meat-less recipe is pretty easy; we added extra vegetables to make up for the lack of meat.
Our main entrée is pasta salad. Molly's Daddy was making some angel hair pasta to use for his lunch tomorrow and we asked him to add a little for Molly. To the angel hair, we added chunks of colby-jack cheese, green pepper, zucchini, carrots, olives and light Italian salad dressing. We don't think that Molly will miss the pepperoni that we normally add.
Our vegetable side is a plain romaine lettuce salad. We figured that there was enough variety of vegetables in Molly's pasta salad, that a plain romaine salad would be nice. This is served with Ken's Steakhouse light Italian salad dressing, Molly's favorite.
Our fruit side is sliced D'Anjou pears. We found these Argentinian beauties very inexpensively at Aldi today. They are very sweet and juicy.
Finally, our Fun Friday dessert is sugar free/fat free vanilla pudding. We added a few white chocolate chips and bits of strawberry to the top as an extra added bonus.
