How about some good favorite swim recipes like a "swim breakfast" or a good "low fat" or just "cheap" to make recipe for a family or your favorite "night before the meet swim dinner". Heres some of mine
Swim Breakfast: Banana , Vanilla Yogurt
Cheap low fat family dinner: "Skarf": 1 pound ground beef, box of frozen mixed vegetables, package of yellow rice and a cup of white rice.
Brown beef and drain all fat/ boil mixed veggies drain/cook rice with a extra cup of white rice/ combine all mix together. makes a big batch, microwaves great, kids love it it , its cheap and I call it skarf because thats what we end up doing because its good!
The night before dinner: Spaghetti with meat balls:
Sauce:
1 big jar Ragu traditional sauce 28 oz or more. /1 ring of green pepper/ 1 big tablespoon olive oil/good shake of parmesan cheese. Stir cook on low heat add :
Meat balls
1 pound ground beef 80 % lean/two pieces white bread crusts removed and chopped up/1 egg/ 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce/1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs/2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix up in a bowl and form into meat balls/ brown in heavy skillet med heat turning often/I place the skillet in the oven also for about 15 minutes @ 350F carefull to remember that skillets hot and then put the meatballs in the sauce to cook at least another 1/2 hour at a low simmer. That one ring of green pepper adds a good flavor to the sauce.
We like this over any knid of spaghetti noodle.

Lord,
I want to thank all of you for making me hungry for things we can't get here on this Caribbean island. The only vegetables are green beans and carrots, occasionally onions (the size of silver dollars). Spinach? Corn? What's that. Sometimes we can get Roma tomatoes or celery that is brown. The basic diet here is chicken, fish, green beans, carrots. Milk comes in from the States once a month. But this is very typical of islands because ALL food has to be shipped in with the exception of a couple of weird fruits they grow. Lettuce? don't like what they sell. It is so limp, it is like eating tree leaves.
Oops, I hijacked this thread with my jealously of what all of you can get. My mouth is watering with all of your recipes.
But back to it: pre-swim race dinner: protein, vegies, fruit. Pre-swim race breakfast: oatmeal and peanut butter.
Post race: pizza and beer.
