Description:

Do you have that family recipe that is SO trashy, but you can't help but make is every now and then, because it tastes SO good? I'm talking Tater-Tot Casserole, Frito Pie, Moon Pies...

Let's choose one favorite (yes, it's true- I have several), put it on a REALLY NICE recipe card, and send it out. You will have THREE partners. Send the same recipe to all or choose 3 recipes; it's up to you. Now, your recipe card can be homemade or purchased, but it MUST have color, and it MUST have a picture of some sort. It doesn't have to be a food-related picture. Use your imagination.

Of course, you can send more than one recipe (you could even balance out the trashy recipe with a healthy one, just to keep the world spinning correctly). You could also send an extra- perhaps a sample of a special spice used in your recipe. These things, my people, will get you the hearts you so crave. As an added incentive: Any recipe calling for Cheez Whiz gets and automatic 5 AND a heart!

Now, go to work and dig out your best-ever trashy recipe. You may need to have a few days of taste-testing just to make sure the one you send is the best. Yum!

i hope whoever gets me likes frozen hashbrowns...

;P

BabaKatya 06/ 4/2007 #

This is a hoot! I have quite a number of these recipes and will be more than happy to share the wealth with others. :-)

scottgirl 06/ 4/2007 #

It was the mention of Cheez Whiz that hooked me!! I have just the thing. I think of these recipes as dirty little food secrets. But, oh, they're so good.

Oh I love this theme!! Unfortunately, I don't think I have anything along these lines to share...

rengawk 06/ 5/2007 #

Hee same here trialxerror, I'll have to keep an eye out for something that would meet these criteria before I join, but it sounds so fun! ^^

PattyJ 06/ 5/2007 #

OK, folks, so Cheez Whiz and its counterparts are not required. I'll have you know that I have several really good trashy recipes that use ingredients that are quite normal and healthful. It's all in the combination, I think. Nothing at all wrong with a nice fresh potato... until I get my hands on it. So many wholesome foods, so many ways to pervert them, and all in the name of family tradition.

I have so many trashy recipes, it's a good thing I'll have some time to go through them. I also think Velveeta should be just as valuable as Cheez Whiz.

PattyJ 06/ 8/2007 #

Hmmm- Seeing that the only delineator between Velveeta and Cheez Whiz is the form (brick vs. can), I agree. Velveeta and Cheez Whiz have equal value for ratings purposes. The Queen has spoken.

SummerLion 06/12/2007 #

Hurray for Velveeta!

user8885 06/19/2007 #

Well, i was looking at my swap partners profile, saw the title of this swap, tea squirted out my nose and i nearly peed myself.

I laughed, ok im still laughing. Snorting really. Oh the horror. Hahaha. I immediately thought "i could join that, but how embarassing to use one with cheez whiz or velveeta being that it's one of few i've been given by my southern great grandparents.

Now I see someone mentioned velveeta & cheez whiz above, so i'm in!

Babsmomof5 06/24/2007 #

ok this is toooo funny NOT to join. I will have to dig up some super trash!! Barbara

dreamerkins 06/26/2007 #

Alright, I tried to resist, but i'm in... mine doesn't have cheez-wiz, but i suppose it could....

user5215 07/ 3/2007 #

dreamerkins 07/10/2007 #

firebirdgirl65, SunnyNole,and jasonsgirlcris, your recipes are on their happy way! watch for the green envelope. (in case you can't read my handwriting. don't worry, the recipes are printed from my pc so you can read them!)

dreamerkins 07/12/2007 #

And, if you can't read the font, or the print is too small, let me know, and I'll email a translation... :)

ohsarajean 07/13/2007 #

Lola, KathyC, SummerLion your recipies are going to be dropped into a mailbox today. Look for the pink envies :)

elusivecallie 07/13/2007 #

Pickle, firebirdgirl65 and dreamerkins....

A recipe for "Liquid Halitosis" is on the way....

Hope you like onions!

SummerLion 07/13/2007 #

Wow. Lola sent one of the nicest swap packages I've ever gotten, complete with collage art recipe cards, a personal note, and the stories behind the recipes. A real treasure. Thank you!

scottgirl 07/19/2007 #

ohsarajean, I loved the recipes and the accompanying note. The "Virgin and Child with Milk Soup is just too much...however did you find that painting!?!

Okay, I'll try peanut butter and pickles...a variation of one of MY favorite combinations...peanut butter and bacon!

Patty,

This was a very fun swap that seemed to attract delightful participants! I find the whole idea of this category of recipes rather dear and very human. Feeding a family is a tiring and costly job and sometimes these recipes filled in the gaps.

Anyway, thanks for thinking of this.

KathyC.

SummerLion 07/26/2007 #

I'm a little concerned that none of my partners have rated me for this swap... I've messaged, but if you see this first, please let me know if you need me to re-send. Thanks!
