Veggie Swap 20 ~ March 2010 ~ Official Swap Thread!

[Veggie Swap]

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Welcome to March's Veg*n Swap, friends!!! This is a casual and fun recipe swap for those who like to "veg out".

REMEMBER, we are each picking one veg*n chef and making 2 of his/her recipes - plus one of our VIP's recipe (see below!)

Here's how to play:

You select one veg*n chef from the list of participants below and immediately post your choice in this thread when the game officially opens at 9am Zaar time (EST) on February 28th, 2009. Chefs will be chosen on a first come, first serve basis. (For example, Lalaloula may choose Karen Elizabeth who chooses Prose who chooses FrVanilla). Because some participants are away until the first week of March, we will accept late additions until all participants are adopted!

You choose a minimum of 2 of his/her recipes and report your tags here in this link by listing the chef and the recipe (including the recipe number, please). The recipes must be vegetarian, vegan or raw.

You also choose one recipe of the VIP (Veg*n Important Person) of the month Sharon123 and report your tag here as well. Note that you cannot tag the VIP Chef since everyone will be making 1 of his/her recipes. Also, the VIP will not choose a chef, he/she will simply recipenap a couple recipes because that's what royalty does. . .whatever they want!

You make the recipes and submit reviews for these recipes by the end of the month (March 31st). Make sure you post that you made the recipe here in this forum. . .and we LOVE to see any photos that you may have taken of your chosen recipes!

In return you will receive two or three reviews on your recipes from whomever tags you! Unless you are the VIP and then lucky you will receive a TON of reviews that month!!!

Feel free to have fun in this thread. . .friendly banter, vegetarian/vegan/raw discussions, well wishes, recipe tips, and even useless info are encouraged!

Questions? Just ask Katzen or Lalaloula, your swap hosts!

*A fun way to meet fellow members and promote your recipes.

Here is a little banner for your About Me page. Just remove the X and paste it in the top section.

A bit about Sharon123:
I would like to send a belated heartfelt thanks to whoever gave me the wonderful gift of a premium membership! (((HUGS)))

I live in the mountains of N.C. and love it here. I love to cook and try new recipes. I quilt, crochet, do rug hooking, and dabble at oil painting.I am a vegetarian,well, almost, I do eat a little fish. I have traveled alot and am glad to settle down.I have 5 children and 5 grandchildren.I am into herbs, for cooking and for healing. I used to take care of a 97 yr. old lady, who taught me so many things about cooking and life. I am a Seventh Day Adventist and my passion is learning more about my Saviour, Jesus Christ!
I have recently undergone radiation and chemotherapy for cancer. My wonderful friends here at Zaar held a cookathon for me. Here is a link to the cookbook of all the recipes they made. Thanks guys, you're the best! May 2009 Update: I am now 2 years cancer free!
