PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE THREAD BEFORE POSTING ANYTHING!
I moved this project out of the groups this week, because since moving to the group section the swap has gotten considerably slower.

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/424557-recipe-swap-week-14
If you make a recipe from week 14, please post your review of it on that post.

THIS WEEK metal_beau AND dianemass 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

    I was wondering the same thing myself! If the recipes aren't up in the morning I'll make an announcement that allows anyone to post a recipe. :)

    I have two questions:

    -can I join being a vegetarian? It sort of rules me out of many :(
    -do we have to create the recipes or can they be from the internet?

    - Of course! You can always make substitutes on the recipes to make them work into your lifestyle.
    - Either!

    Fiesta Chicken and Rice

    Generic - Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese, 0.5 cup
    Laughing Cow (Cheese Wedge) - Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle, 2 wedge 21g
    Members Mark - Chicken Breast - Skinless - Boneless, 4 oz piece
    Rice - White, long-grain, regular, cooked, 6 cup
    Great Value - Light Sour Cream, 0.5 container (30 tbsp ea.)
    Great Value - Thick & Chunky Salsa, Mild, 1 container (48 tbsp ea.)

    It's a little heavy on the sodium. In a large bowl, combine cooked riced, cooked and shredded chicken, salsa, sour cream, and Laughing Cow cheese. Mix until well blended. Place mixture into a casserole dish and press out to edges with back of a spoon. Top with shredded cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.

    Serves 8

    Calories - 248
    Carbs - 42
    Fat - 4
    Protein - 9
    Potassium - 313
    Sodium - 842

    Again... not the best on sodium, but it is low calorie and very tasty.

    ENJOY!

    Lebanese Rice and Lentil Soup (from http://www.tasteofbeirut.com/2009/10/red-lentil-and-rice-soup/)

    2 cups of red lentils
    1/3 cup of white rice (I used the cheapest one and it worked well)
    6 cups of chicken broth or vegetable broth
    1 onion, chopped
    5 garlic cloves (my addition)
    2 tablespoons of oil (I used olive oil)
    salt, pepper to taste
    2 teaspoon of ground cumin
    1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

    METHOD:

    Heat oil in a large pot
    Fry garlic and onion until golden
    Pour the broth and the lentils and all the seasoning minus the salt
    When the lentils are soft and have turned mushy, puree the mixture using an immersion blender (optional)
    Pour the lentils back in the pot and add the rice
    Return to a boil and lower the heat. Simmer gently until the rice is cooked
    Adjust seasonings and serve hot.

    **I added plenty of lemon juice before serving... YUMMY!

    I've made this exact same recipe before except that it had sausage in it. And no red pepper.
