Advent Fast Menu

Need a little inspiration for the kitchen?

Here's a 2019 Advent Fast Calendar. Many of the items are linked to recipes. Let me know if you need any help with the other dishes.

Advent Fast Menu

If you've never made homemade pizza, Auntie Leila will make you feel like you can't screw up. 

I take her method (don't measure!) and add a can of beer to replace some of the water. It does take a while to rise, but the actual hands on time is not that long. Something about hot homemade crust makes the fasting toppings more special (bearable....).

Please let me know if you have a great meal idea!

Tostadas

My daughter's godparents introduced us to this easy, kid-friendly, fasting staple. Everyone likes this dish because the ingredients are served on the table like a salad bar: make it how you like it!

What makes this awesome? Caramelized onions!

Tostadas

Tostada shells  

refried beans (canned or homemade)

caramelized onions (like for m'jeddrah - dark and yummy!)

diced tomatoes

corn

guacamole

Optional Sides:

Cilantro Mexican Coleslaw (substitute vegan ingredients - it works!)

Cilantro Soy Cream (like spicy flavored sour cream)
