What Are You Giving Up This Lent?

This is actually a late post. I just remembered to write something about it when I remembered my Shecky’s event. You see this guy there who greets the ladies saw us with the ash on our forehead upon entering the venue. He knows that it’s Ash Wednesday that day for Christians (Catholics) and so he asked us “what are you giving up this lent”. I immediately told him meat – but I know I’m cheating because I have already pledged to be a vegetarian, right? Haha. So I thought perhaps I could share some ideas here on what to give up this Lenten Season. After all, a lot of fashionistas out there are Christians. So might as well give tips on what you can sacrifice as well.

Easy & Delicious Seafood Cream Pasta

Posted on March 4th, 2008 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | 1 Comment »

‘Tis the season of Lent, ‘Tis the season of Seafood…

In search for the quick and easy-to-make meal without the meat, I decided to be creative. One time, I’ve tried the recipe at the back of Campbell Mushroom soup. It was a quick and easy Chicken alfredo which only required pan fried chicken strips added with mushroom soup and milk. It was delicious. So last Friday, we ran out of mushroom soup but there were tons of Campbell’s Clam Chowder soup. So I tried something different. I sauteed garlic until a bit brown and then added the clam chowder. I added a can of milk, a cup of parmesan cheese, a cup of cheddard cheese, dash of garlic powder, italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and voila… I ended up with a yummy seafood cream pasta. Sprinkle some parsley flakes to complete the look! Toast slices of bread, spread with butter and/or cheese, and sprinkle some garlic powder for your own version of garlic bread.
