Lunch Box Stuffers - Recipe Swaps

I started participating in some recipe swaps over at SplitCoast Stampers - lots of fun, but time consuming...I'm going to have to limit myself to one swap at a time once I've met the commitments for the swaps in which I'm currently participating.

The first swap for which I signed up was a "Lunch Box Stuffers" swap. The hostess was looking for new and exciting ideas to put in her lunch box. What a great idea! I took two spots in that particular swap and these are the recipes I submitted:
This is my recipe for Chopped Broccoli Salad. I love this because it's so bright and summery. The best part is that if you're doing weight watchers, the only point count is for the dressing and for a pretty full bowl, the point count is only 2!

This is the brownie recipe that I have been cooking for probably close to 30 years...I figure I've been making it since I was about 10. It comes for a tattered old Five Roses cookbook that my mom has and it is WONDERFUL!!!

The knife/fork/spoon and coffee cup images are from a Stampendous set that I picked up in Austin, TX when I accompanied my hubby on a business trip.

Happy Stampin'!

  3. Oh I love these! I am addicted to recipe swaps as well (: I am signed up for four, but I staggered when they are all due, and only signed up for one spot each. They are soooo much fun! I plan on making a new cookbook for mine. Thanks for sharing!
