Pray while you cook
For hundreds of years Abuelitas have shown us how to pray by example. They love God and Mary so much that they like to talk to them all day, every day and in every way. One well known Abuelita prayer while cooking is to add salt into the pot while making the sign of the Cross and then saying a prayer of love and care for those who will eat the food.
When you make lentils, make sure to add salt in the sign of the cross and say a special prayer for your loved ones. Find delicious meatless, Lent recipes on Lent Week Button.
