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.

    Vegetarian meal with complete protein: 1) Your favorite rice recipe. (For added protein, make quinoa instead of rice). 2) Corn of some sort. 3) Cuban-style black beans: a) Sautee a chopped green or red pepper and 2 cloves garlic in a little extra virgin olive oil. b) add two cans (15 Oz cans) black beans (don't drain juices), 3/4 teaspoon of oregano and 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar (white or cider or even balsamic) simmer for about 15 minutes or until sauce thickens. Takes less than 30 minutes, start-to-table. Serves about 3 or 4. -LBJ

    Generally, after swimming, I'll eat anything in massive quantities. Last nihgt was the first time I've swam since August. After that I ate I frozen pizza with added peppers, mushrooms, olives, broccoli(sp), chopped fresh mustard greens and artichole hearts. then a bowl of rocky road ice cream with reese's pieces and walnuts added. Two slices of 12 grain toast with honey sliced banana and raisins. II woke up a t4:30 am starving. It is a true jy to be able to eat huge amounts of food. During the last months that I've only been rowing & lifting, I've gained 14.74 pounds. My GI doctor is very happy.
