Recipe Swap Week 18

inskydiamonds

PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE THREAD BEFORE POSTING ANYTHING!

Recipe swap is a fun group where every week two recipes are shared by our members to be cooked by everyone else in the group!

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/444599-recipe-swap-week-17
If you make a recipe from week 17, please post your review of it on that post.

THIS WEEK all_or_nothing67 AND newnanax3 ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHARING RECIPES FOR THE REST OF THE GROUP TO MAKE.

Hopefully the recipes are posted today or tomorrow.

1. Sign up by making a post in this thread and I will add you to the member list.
2. Every week there will be TWO recipes/meals submitted by two members. Each member of the community should make the recipe and post their opinions about the recipe/meal, changes they may have made, etc.
3. Each week there will be a new recipe swap post on the MFP boards. This post will be the place that the members responsible for the recipes for the week will post them as well as the place where you should comment about the recipes/meals you cooked. If you make any substitutions or other changes in the recipe, tell us that as well. And by all means, if you take pictures and want to share them, do!

For more information and for the recipes from last week and the member list, check out here: https://docs.google.com/a/u.pacific.edu/document/d/1fqBAaFmtHqOq76VlmyASTE8LX-FnUnYWCYY7QTu6q1o/edit?hl=en_US

Adding the two new people

Here are my 2 favorites~ SOUP

Both are very good especially this time of year.

Cauliflower Soup

I found this in a magazine and tried it today. It is really very good and goes along nicely with a salad for a low cal lunch.

1 large head of cauliflower cut into florets
1 large onion sliced
2 cloves of garlic, halved (I used 3)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 14.5 ounce cans of low sodium chicken broth
1 cup of water
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon of fresh thyme
1 cup of half and half (light)
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 F, in large roasting pan toss cauliflower, onion, garlic with oil. Roast, uncovered for 30 minutes stirring at 15 minutes. in a large pot combine roasted veggies, broth, water, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Working in batches, transfer soup to a food processor or blender, process or blend soup until smooth, return soup to a saucepan. Stir in half and half, salt and pepper. Heat through (do not boil)

8 servings (said to be a side dish)

I must say, I do love homemade soup! I'm pretty sure that my husband won't eat either one, but these sound so good I may make them anyway for myself!

kellyh2

Everyone has been added to the list.
If we don't have a second recipe tomorrow, be looking! Someone else will get an opportunity!

inskydiamonds

Due to not have a 2nd recipe, I'm opening up!
First person to post a recipe chooses the 2nd recipe for the week!

kasseyrichards

Please add me I love to try new recipes and need all the variation I can get!

UsedToBeHusky

Cowboy Burgers

1 lb of ground beef
3 tbsp of chipotle seasoning
1 tbsp of chile powder
1/2 cup of shredded cheddar
1 Vidalia onion chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Blend all ingredients thoroughly. Shape into patties. Grill, bake, or brown in a skillet. Serve on Texas toast.

Not sure of the calorie count on these. I'm sure substitutions can be made to bring the calories down.

This sounds great. I think I'll try it with Deer meat instead of beef!

The recipe sounds great!

And welcome luvmy2labs to the group!

bump - Might try that zucchini soup with greek yogurt instead of sour cream this weekend! The others sound good but wouldn't be enjoyed by DH (neither would the soup, that's ok though!)
