Slim Pickins

This little online recipe box serves as an adjunct to groups already active on eons, such as Cheaper Than Lipo, Weight Loss and Nutrition, and the Smart Heart Group. Newcomers are always welcome too. We want what you've got, namely, your healthy and slimmed down recipes, and we're not so foolish to think we can't all learn from each other, or so selfish to deny anyone the tools with which to live a more healthy life. We are absolutely thrilled when we see new members in our midst!

If you would like to calculate and include nutritional information for your recipes, there is a nifty little tool that is completely free for that on Spark Recipes.

The Mayo Clinic has published a very helpful page on recipe substitutions, as has Ohio State University.

Please also feel free to share your discoveries as you as you come across them. There's a wealth of invaluable information out there, just waiting for us to find and benefit from it. Be sure not to transcribe or cut and paste the recipes from the articles and the recipes you find, though, even if you credit the source, for if you repost material found elsewhere without the authors’ express permission, it is copyright infringement and in violation of eons’ TOU, and we have no choice but to delete it. Simply post a short introduction and link to the recipe or the article you found, and that will be fine!

Any recipes for which you significantly modify the ingredients and the directions are, of course, your very own, and may be posted in their entirety. So get creative! Play a little! Dig out those old family favorites, slim them down, and show us what you can do!
