Recipe Exchange

[CarlosHoney]

I think that it was Kacie that came up with the idea of a recipe exchange. I saw a few people interested in it in the Fun Stuff Exchange thread, so I thought that it might be good to do this. That way, you cna look up your buddy and just make sure that the recipes you're sending are at all useable by them.

For anyone with food allergies or dietary needs, state them here:

I'm Vegetarian. I don't eat any meat (that includes chicken and fish) and nothing with Gelatin in it.

[CindySue]

No food allergies here!
And Im not too picky about what I eat, but I dont like recipes that take forever to make. I end up snacking while Im cooking and then when its finally ready, Im not hungry and since I dont eat, everyone thinks I may have poisoned them!

[LaceyinPgh]

I don't eat dairy except yogurt and sour cream or any types of red meats or pork. Oh, and no mayonnnaise or mayo like products.

[Jenn060306]

Nothing Aquatic. Meaning fish, shell fish, etc. If it came from the Sea its not for Me. I also only eat turkey and chicken, and can't have anything like mousse or cream cheese.

[brewsells]

I think I am the most UNpicky person ever! I will eat just about anything. (well, maybe not liver..)

[MOB Karen]

I think I pretty much like everything too. But like Brewsells, I don't think any recipe could get me to eat liver.

[Amber818]

Nothing Aquatic for me!! I do not eat any fish, lamb, duck etc.

I will eat beef, pork, and chicken.

[CindySue]

Me either!!!! Only I will eat "mountain oysters"!

[MOB Karen]

Cindy, what the heck are mountain oysters? And how the heck did oysters get in the mountains? Please God, don't tell me it has anything to do with some poor animal's balls?

Ha ha! I think you might have hit the nail on the head! lol

[CarlosHoney]

Cindy, what the heck are mountain oysters? And how the heck did oysters get in the mountains? Please God, don't tell me it has anything to do with some poor animal's balls?Sure does.. But, hey, why waste 'em?

[MOB Karen]

OMG!!!! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! I would just like to go down in history as saying that I don't eat anything's reproductive organs. Thanks, now I feel better!

[WhiskeyGirl]

OMG!!!! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! I would just like to go down in history as saying that I don't eat anything's reproductive organs. Thanks, now I feel better!

I think I'll pass too! Though here, we call 'em "prairie oysters". :bbeek:

[MOB Karen]

I think I'll pass too! Though here, we call 'em "prairie oysters". :bbeek:

I think I have heard them called Rocky Mountain oysters too.

[CindySue]

Usually here they are called "Calf Fries". My dad used to fry them up ALL the time when I was growing up. I havent had them in ages! I know they are NOT for everybody. I cant get Brian to try them either.
If it makes yall feel better, they are cut off way before they ever start actually "producing" anything! Season them, batter them, fry them and dip them in ranch dressing!!!! :drool:

[usahgrad]

I'll try anything once...or at least I would, if I wasn't allergic to almost everything.

I can't have Milk or any milk-product.

I can't have anything whole wheat (so much for being healthy).

I can't have much of anything that was created through a process of mold; i.e. yogurts, sour cream, large amounts of bread, etc.

I can't have anything with caffiene, which limits my chocolate intake (although I do indulge myself on something little now and then).

I have to stay away from fried stuff for the most part; especially deep fried.

I can't have a large amount of beans, tomatoes, or citrus.

You guys dizzy yet? You see, along with my intolerances, I also have ARD, so I have to watch pretty much everything I eat. I would eat ANYTHING (honestly, I've tried octopus once! It still had the puckers on it and everything...kind of chewy). My only rule is: "If it's still moving, I won't eat it." Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be too keen on eating somethings that are considered delicacies in other countries (not big on bugs or dogs or cats) but if it's offered to me and I'm going to offend someone by turning it down, well then...yum yum!

I'd love to try different recipes; our same old spiced chicken and rice is getting really old and there's only so many different things you can do with hamburger. My problem runs into a money factor; chicken and burger is relatively cheap and you can prepare it without buying tons of other stuff. Someday, I'd like to have the money to cook whatever I want, but right now, I keep it to the basics.

Kelli, I think it would have been easier if you would tell us what you can have. lol Just kidding.

IT'S TRUE! LOL! I'm a freak...:bblol:

[WebLady]

OK first off, OMG Cindy that is NASTY :p ;)

I am not a fan if most thing aquatic either, but I will eat shrimp on occasion. I have been told I am kind of picky :bbredface: I don't like tomatoes, the chunky stuff I guess, I like stuff that has tomato in it, like spaghetti and such but if it has chunky tomatoes in it I will pick it out. But I don't like raw tomatoes at all. I am also not big on vegetables ... I like broccoli, carrots and green beans, corn on occasion and that is about it. I do like meat (sorry Carrie) but usually only Beef, Chicken or Turkey ... not a big fan of Pork; but I will eat ham, I know weird ;)

I don't really like to cook so I prefer things that don't take forever to make. Lets see, I am also trying to eat less salt.

So are we still trying to send recipes to each other or are we just going to post them here?

[countrygirl]

Ha ha! I think you might have hit the nail on the head! lol


EWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

I am good for just bout anything.

[CindySue]

My only rule is: "If it's still moving, I won't eat it."
Im pretty much the same way. I will try just about anything once. Im just shocked at the stuff Ive tried just so I couldnt be called a sissy only to say, "Hey....thats not bad"!
Brian says Eeewwwwwwwww too!

[CarlosHoney]

So are we still trying to send recipes to each other or are we just going to post them here?I'd like to send them, but that's just because I get so excited about getting mail.. I was planning on making little decorated notecards. But, we can post them if anyone wants. No biggie to me. :bbmrgreen:

[tha_mrs]

I love sea food,but only the basics( fish, shrimp, crab) I any meat (no turkey) I like just about everthing on the pig( yes, chitterlings and souse meat! Hey I am from the South!

Comfort food.... good old soul food. I love it!!!

[tha_mrs]

Yes Ma'am! And chitterlings are pig intestines. lol That's funny I had imagine you would ask me what souse meat was (LOL)! @ MOB Well you eat the chitterlings with coleslaw, now that is comfort! (lol)

[CindySue]

That's funny I had imagine you would ask me what souse meat was (LOL)! (lol)
Ok....I'll bite.....whats souse meat?

[brewsells]

Ok....I'll bite.....whats souse meat?

I think it's made from the pigs feet... could be wrong though.

[tha_mrs]

souse meat or head cheese is the pigs head boiled and pressed down. It comes in a loaf at the butcher's and you it it with saltine crackers and/or cheese. or bread. I don't think you can get it anywhere but in the sout,maybe texas but I didn't see any whenn I lived there.There are 2 kinds. The red that's VERY hot and grey it's mild.

[tha_mrs]

sometimes they do incorporate the feet in the head cheese,so you were partially right!

My dad eats that Cr@p. He picks it up at the grocery store. They have it every where I turn. I've tried it but I wanted to puke, the texture was disgusting, the flavor was ok, but I will definately not eat that again!! lol

LMAO! Okay, well I tried! I just love those smileys, they have such an effect*(is it effect or affect) when you post.

[WebLady]

Cool, either way works for me as long as someone else handles the 'buddy list' and I don't think I will have the time for decorated note cards ;)

As for all the talked of head cheese and such, all I have to say is *BLECK* :buck:

[blueeyedbride]

Nothing that swims for me , or lamb or animal parts... I don't like cottage cheese ...... I'm not to picky...... Hey can't wait to get some new recipies.

[Kacie_bride]

Well Carrie this wasn't my idea, I think actually it was Heather's, but it is a good idea. About the mountain oysters, I wont go there either. But unlike a lot of you here, I love seafood. If it comes from the sea I want it!!!! I love fish, shrimp, lobster, (no oysters though), calamari, and the list goes on. I am also a big fan of Cajun food!!!!! Keep in mind that I live pretty close to the Lousiana/Texas border. My all time favorite food would have to be boiled crawfish! I love my mud bugs!

[Valmai]

I will eat anything - at least once anyways - I love trying out new foods! Over ere we call the pigs head thing Brawn, my dad used to terrify me as a child cos id see this head poking out from the top of a big pan as he was boiling it, but i still ate it and enjoyed lol

Brawn, huh, Valmai? You guys are killing me. I always thought I was pretty savvy in the way of what I would eat. I mean I love seafood and all that. But when it comes to taking a pig's head and putting that sucker in a pan in order to suck the brains out. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww... There went breakfast. :drool:

Oh wow! So your family made it at home, now I admit that I would be terrified also! Wow,I never saw it actually being made.I usually get it from the butcher.

[usahgrad]

If you guys want to mail it, I'll set up the list if y'all would like. My only condition is, you all pm me before the end of next week. Being this close to the wedding, I don't want to get too overloaded, but it wouldn't take long and I think it would be fun!

Kelli, that is so sweet of you to volunteer to do this with less than two weeks to go until your wedding. Thanks!

[usahgrad]

Ok, I'm going to start a new thread so that the list is at the top and I can maintain it so you all can see; just an FYI.
