Question: weekly recipe post?

[tassosss]

One of my biggest problems with eating healthy regularly is thinking of things to eat.  I got myself a cookbook to try and help with broadening what I know how to make, but I also like hearing what other people try for inspiration, especially with food that is on hand.

Would people be interested in having a weekly recipe post of some sort?  I was thinking of having a theme, 10 minute meals, or what to do with broccoli, or easy lunches, or so your neighbor gave you twenty tomatoes from the garden, now what? (it could happen). If you want to do this and have ideas, feel free to comment with them, and let me know if you want to try this.

ETA:
Themes suggested so far.  Comment if you want to add any!
- ten minute meals
- vegetable of the week
- easy lunches
- so your neighbor gave you twenty tomatoes from the garden, now what?
- vegetarian
- fish recipes
- easy breakfast
- healthy sweets/dessert
- 999 things to put in an omelet
- the many uses of rice
- soups (this one would be a great theme for fall/winter)
- things to do with pumpkins (around Halloween)
- various national cuisines - there could be weeks for Italian food, Indian food, Mexican food, etc.

I would love to participate in that. Also since you mentioned cookbooks, maybe recs?

[tassosss]

Awesome! I'll put the first post up tomorrow maybe? What day do you think is best?

I only have one cookbook right now, but we can definitely do a rec set of cookbooks. That would actually be really good for me too because I almost ran screaming from the cookbook section, overwhelmed by all of them.

I think tomorrow would be fine? I have no clue what tomorrow's theme should be however. I'm not actually sure that any day would be bad on this comm.

I love your themes! I'll make a running list and put it with the post so everyone can see it and add suggestions.

Awesome! I love exchanging recipes! (Honestly, that was one of the things I was hoping for when i joined this comm.)

[tassosss]

Me too. The comm is still young, and I think it's still figuring out how it's going to be.

Right now it's my favorite and I really want it to succeed because my relationship with food is not where I want it and just thinking about it every day has already helped.

Those all sound fine, and I recommend including vegetarian options for each week, like the pizzas without meat etc. from later today, since otherwise some of it would just redo the recipe anyhow to avoid it.

Sorry for the late reply - I was out of town this weekend without internet.

I definitely agree with you on the vegetarian option. A lot of people on the comm (including me) seem to be interested in eating more veggies so I hope that will be one of the focuses for recipes, but it's good to have the reminder when meaty options are on display.
