BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – Those who participate in Lent, we got you covered for those meatless Fridays.
Lent is from Feb. 22 to April 6. These 40 days symbolize the length of time Jesus Christ was in the desert. Catholics fast every Friday and can’t eat meat. If you’re used to eating meat and now don’t know where to find meatless dishes — of if you’re just tired of the same old thing — look no further.
