Recipe Swap?

I'm making the veggies/rice/meat combo tonight. I'll let everyone know how it goes!0

So I made the first recipe. I used shrimp as my meat and zucchini as my vegetable. I didn't even get to the fruit I was so full! I think this recipe will be something I keep around for busy nights when I need to make a quick meal. It was tasty and filling, a great combo

Ooo....Sounds like fun. I added this to "Recipes" today under 'Veggie bake'

Fresh Raw (Nutritiondata.Com) - Cilantro, 2 oz
Vegetable - Yellow Summer Squash, 2 medium 6
Onions - Raw, 1 medium (2-1/2" dia)
Cheese - Parmesan, shredded, 2 tbsp
Mushrooms - Raw, 1 cup, pieces or slices
Peppers, Green, Bell Fresh - Peppers, Green, Bell, 0.75 cup
Home Prepared - Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice, 2 lemon
Spices - Basil, dried, 2 tsp, ground
Fresh Vegetable - Green Beans, 10 beans, 4" long
Squash - Zucchini, includes skin, raw, 2 cup, chopped
Fresh - Garlic (1 Clove), 3 medium clove (4g)
(i also added a little house rub that my husband bought from HEB)
1. Mix together tomatoes, onion, green beans, mushrooms, green pepper, lemon juice, garlic, cilantro and herbs. Cover and bake at 325º F for 15 minutes.
2. Mix in zucchini and squash and continue baking, covered, 60-70 more minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally.
3. Sprinkle top with parmesan cheese just before serving.
I also made some whole wheat brown rice on the side 1/4 cup (150 calories)
according to myfitnesspal, the whole dish of the veggie bake comes out to 432Per Serving and if you do this at 8 servings its 54 calories per serving.
I made this tonight and it was SO delish! and filled me up with a lot left over!

The recipe post for week 2 will be posted tomorrow morning. sweetiepie31612 and myself are responsible for providing next week's recipes.
ANYWAY - In terms of week one food, post all your thoughts on the recipes here! Even after week 2 is going!
I made the vegetable/rice/protein tonight suggested by pixiechick8321. I only had white rice, so that's what I used. My protein was Swai, which is a type of white fish. I put some paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano on it and baked it for 10 minutes on one side and then flipped it and baked it for another 10 on the other side at 350. For the vegetables in the rice, I used carrots, celery, red onion, tomatoes, and mushrooms. I also used 2 tbsp of tomato juice for some more flavoring in the rice.
The dessert of the strawberries and honey was super delicious.
Total, my variation of the meal equaled 352 calories. It was SO filling, but so simple and good.
This is what it looked like:
I'm going to be making the tacos on Wednesday or Thursday.0 -

Hi, I'm brand new to this site and I'm desperate to get motivated. I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life and I'm determined to do something about it!
I'd love to participate in this but I'm a little blog challenged. Can someone tell me how to participate in the recipe swap? did you go with Google?
Here's one from me:
Spicy chili
1 pound Jenny O ground turkey (I don't use the most lean because it has no flavor) or very lean ground sirloin - cook & crumble
1 onion, green peppers diced and sauteed
then add:
1-2 large cans of stewed tomatoes, breaking up with your fingers
1-2 cans of spicy kidney beens
chopped jalapenos to taste
tons of chili powder
if you like it hot, use tabasco, hot sauce, etc.; if not, can use some worchestire or bbq sauce
bring to a boil, then simmer until it tastes great!
Can have low fat sour cream and shredded chedder cheese or chopped scallions for toppings
Really a full meal! Enjoy0 -

I'm making the tacos tomorrow
How's everyone else's recipe making going?0 -
I made the tacos last night, with a few changes. My changes:
I used 1 roma tomato
I used olive oil instead of canola oil
I added 1 zucchini to the onion
No cilantro or scallions
Wheat tortillas instead of corn tortillas
I thought this was very good. I used a little cheese and salsa verde and made a burrito. It made enough for at least 4 meals for me, so I don't have to cook for a couple of days
I think next time I won't char the tomato. I don't know if it makes a big difference in flavor, and it was a little more work.
2 thumbs up!0 -
I made the tacos tonight and they were very good!
I realized as soon as I did the tomatoes though, that I had done it wrong. I diced the tomatoes first and then put them in the dry skillet as opposed to putting the whole tomato in. This of course resulted in not very charred tomatoes, because they were wet. But they still tasted good!
I had also made Mashed Jalapeno Sweet Potatoes (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/mashed-jalapeno-cilantro-sweet-potatoes/detail.aspx) to put on the side, but I actually ended up putting those on the tacos too!
I really enjoyed this.
