I know you're probably thinking, wow, I could have thought of that. They sound really simple because in fact, they are! These recipes call for few ingredients which is good news for your wallet, plus they're utterly delicious. You don't need much to be healthy and moreover, they're lent friendly because I highly doubt anyone gave up carrots, ginger, potatoes, or beets for lent, and if you did, lame.
