Cooking/Recipe Swap

NineTwentyOhEight · October 2011

Ok, who is interested in doing some kind of "recipe" of the week swap idea thing?

I am making this up, so we can decide how it should work, but I thought it would be fun for us to pick a "recipe of the week" and we all agree to make it and review it...

We could take turns sharing a tried and true recipe with the group, and everyone can give it a shot and then share how it went (photos, SO reviews, etc).

Maybe we could do a different theme each week, like...

-Vegetarian
-Around the world (different cuisine each week like Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Thai, Indian)
-Five ingredients or less
-Crockpot

The goal would also be for these to be HEALTHY recipes with normal ingredients that folks could find in their usual grocery store. Extra emphasis on healthy here, this idea came up in the daily healthy living thread :-)

Thoughts? Anyone interested?

What a great idea, Claire! I like the idea of a different theme each week.

I like this idea, but how would the logistics of it work?

For example, I like the idea of a theme each week...but then how would we narrow down the actual recipe we all make? Would we all contribute recipes the week before and do a clicky poll of what recipe we want to make?

Or could we do it ala NOTD style and have a rotating schedule of who would submit a recipe each week?

I like either idea - we could just have people post recipes that they like that fit the theme for the week and people can choose which to make and post about it. or we could have one person pick the weekly recipe like NOTD and then everyone tries that (and modifications, etc are fine I think, and people can share how the modifications worked out).

Claire I like first idea better. We all post a recipe according to the theme, then we can choose which one we want to make. Some may make the same recipe and some not. I think with more variety we will have better participation.

Mary, good thinking!!!

Ok, so maybe this first week (starting next full week for cooking, this week for recipe collection) we post our favorite healthy crockpot recipe and then people pick from the list and make it next week!

This is my favorite idea, but I would like to participate in anything!

I like Mary's idea so we have more variety.

You know me, I'm always down to try a new healthy recipe and I love to share mine too!
