Receipe Exchange

I realize that we all have to modify they way we eat and what we eat no matter what type of wls surgery we had.  Do we have a forum or a place where we can exchange the receipes?  And how to we do healthy tweaks to our current receipes?  Any ideas?  I finally get to start eating what I lovinly call "real food" in 3 weeks. and I would like to get some healthy receipes lined up.  Thank you, Cindy

Hi Cindy!

I haven't found a place in OH with "recipe tweaks" and I think it's a great idea! Since there are people right here in BB that have a lot of experience with tweaking recipes so that the can eat them, why don't we start a recipe tweaking exchange right here? I suggest that someone posts what the want to tweak and the rest of us offer suggestions. What do you all think?

I have been on a OH site with recipes, found it by putting recipe into a search.

There is a recipe exchange here on OH, also a thread up above this here on the bariatric buddy page. Also check out the profiles of Cleopatra-Nik, eggface and Pam T. for great ideas on some things that have been tweeked already. I like to tweek recipes too and have a few that I like and even pass the 'Dennis' test. Dennis is pretty picky about certain foods and says that he doesn't "like" something, even though he has never tried the food. Yes, he lead a sheltered life as far as food adventure.

If anyone has a recipe, post it, I would love to try and maybe even tweek the idea.

You are right, it is VERY helpful to be able to tweek old favorite recipes, so we can still enjoy foods we used to. I do it quite often, and have found that many of the recipes I enjoy just as much if not more once tweeked.

I am kicking around some ideas on how to share recipe / cooking tweeks in a way that is easy to refer back to here on our buddy group. Maybe a f.ree tele-class on the subject as well...This ole brain is trying to wake up and is churning away... Will post when I come up with something that seems like an easy way to access this info and share it.

Great post!
Have a great day all, and a wonderful Memorial day weekend. Take a moment to remember our fallen and injured service men and women.
