IT'S OFFICIAL: THE LENTEN SEASON, RECIPES, OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND MORE

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

IT'S ASH WEDNESDAY...for Christians, the Lenten season begins....

And so we've had the annual requests for an update to our Lenten recipes post in 2022 and 2025.  Click on the photos and links. There will be more.

Many of us don't give up meat entirely during the Lenten season...but we do cut back eating as much and/or on Fridays....And so......Here's 30 MEATLESS MEALS from the Mr. Food Test Kitchen; click HERE.

NEXT--LENTEN FISHSTICK CASSEROLE! The poor fishstick, it is so underappreciated but during the Lenten season the fishstick is a glorious topping to this wonderful casserole. SHOPRITE TO THE RESCUE

AND.....We love Manhattan Clam Chowder---and this is the best recipe we have ever tried--courtesy of SIMPLY RECIPES.

P.S. We get our clams from Apple Farm. They have some of the freshest shellfish, produce and herbs.

Now....if you can't make your own....(CLICK ON THE PHOTO) then your editor heartily recommends the MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER from Croton Colonial Restaurant and Diner.  It's generally available every day---along with The Greek Lemon.
