Varoujan, this is excellent!  We're on this lenten journey of fasting and prayer together, and we need to "encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing" 1 Thessalonians 5:11

And I will also add why there's a need to fast.  During this spirital journey as we prepare to meet our risen Lord, fasting helps us pray more easily, and the hunger helps us be more compassionate towards the hungry and the poor and reminds us that:

 

4:4 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'"

 

Thanks for taking this initiative.  The lenten journey is also a time to remind ourselves of the things that truly matter, as you said "to simplify".

okay...i'm posting something quick and easy that we like to have during lent:

Individual Veggie Pizza!

Use the whole wheat pita bread as your crust
spread traditional spaghetti sauce on top (no meat kind)
decorate with your favorite veggies:
bell peppers, mushrooms, onion, olives, tomatoes

If you feel like the cheese, you can use soy cheese and/or veggie crumbles but it's good without

sprinkle with italian seasoning and garlic powder.
Bake at 400 degrees about 10 minutes.
Serve with tossed salad.

enjoy

OK - just tried this Cream of Asparagus (rhymes with something.... what was it? I'll check my law books...)
This is excellent! In fact, so good, you'd say you weren't in Lent anymore.
Thanks.

I finally had an opportunity to make this soup - it's delicious!! 

One recommendation:  I used a handblender to puree the soup instead of pouring it in batches into a blender - less messy and far easier.
