With the Knights of Columbus (ABVM – Belmont, MI) I feature a different meatless theme menu every Friday evening during Lent. We may do 1 fish fry – we actually bake our fish with or without breading but the rest are theme menus: Every meal plan includes a Green Salad Bar, Relish Tray, One Featured Soup, and often an additional soup, and finally one or two desserts (one fancy and the other very basic such as fruit with no sweeteners.
