Team Recipes

If you enjoy a dish at any of our functions, feel free to request the recipe. We'll post it here. The following are posted at the request of swimmers or parents.

Lisa Carberry's Smoky-City Send Off Chinese Noodle Salad

2 packages chicken flavored Ramen noodles crumbled
¼ cup butter
1 pkg slivered almonds (1/2 cup)
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 med head cabbage, cut fine
3 carrots, cut fine
4 green onions
2 11 oz can mandarin oranges, drained

Brown almonds and sesame seeds in butter. Let cool. Mix cabbage, onion, and noodle mixture.

Dressing:
¼ cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
¾ cup vegetable oil
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt

Mix dressing ingredients together and pour over cabbage mixture. Serves 6-8. Salad is also good with a large can of boned chicken added.

Howard Waldron's Jamboree Barbequed Chicken

1 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 cup cooking oil
4 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Mix thoroughly and use as a basting sauce for cooking chicken on the grill. It can also be used for Pork.

I also marinate the chicken in the sauce for 24 hours prior to cooking. As with all recipes, this is only a guide, I usually modify (more Worcestershire and garlic) to taste. Over a grill will take about 2 hours, and as you saw on the smoker, it took 3 hours. Chicken must be grilled slowly to assure the inside is cooked without burning the outside.

Lisa Vasquez's Jamboree Cookie Salad (Not so healthy, but oh, so yummy!!)

1 cup buttermilk
1 small package instant vanilla pudding
8 oz. Cool Whip
15 oz. can mandarin oranges
1 can crushed pineapple
1 package fudge stripe cookies
3/4 cup pecans

Mix Cool Whip, buttermilk, and pudding together. Drain mandarin oranges and crushed pineapple. Add to Cool Whip mixture. Break up cookies into small pieces and add to mixture. Fold in pecans. Refrigerate and serve.

Lisa Vasquez's Jamboree Baked Potato Salad

5-6 Red Potatoes unpeeled (quarter then dice into small cubes)
Spray cookie sheet with Pam
Cook potatoes at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes

1 pkg. bacon (fry and crumble)
6 hard boiled eggs (diced)
1 bunch green onions

Mix baked potatoes and other ingredients with mayonnaise. Chill and serve.

Smooth Ideas

Many swimmers have problems eating in the morning before practice. Try a Smoothie instead of cereal, toast, or fast food. They help to fuel and hydrate the swimmer before workouts. Ingredients and amounts are just ideas to get you started. Add more fruit - get a thicker smoothie.

Milk based Smoothies

 

6 ounces milk or soy milk

1/3 -1/2 cup fruit

3 ice cubes (or frozen bananas)

 

Blend all ingredients and serve.

 

Fruity Possibilities

Strawberry, strawberry and banana, berry, peach, apricot, papaya, mango…try combining two or three fruits. Fruit can be frozen or fresh. Cut up very ripe fruit and freeze the slices in a single layer on a tray. When solid, put in a container or baggy. Adding just a few pieces of frozen fruit makes a smoothie thick and icy cold and very refreshing without needing ice cubes.

 

Optional Ingredients

1 or 2 spoonfuls of dry milk or dry soy milk – adds to the thickness and gives extra calcium

Honey, barley malt, brown rice syrup, sugar, maple syrup – adds sweetness

Peanut butter - good with banana or with no fruit

Try adding some chocolate syrup or an instant breakfast if you are looking to add calories

Yogurt – thickens and adds calcium & acidophilus

Spices - cinnamon is great with peaches, nutmeg is good with most anything

 

Fruit Juice based Smoothies

 

Banana (or Strawberry Banana)

3/4 cup orange juice

1 banana (and 1/3 cup strawberries)

2-3 ice cubes (or frozen fruit)

 

Blend all ingredients and serve.

 

Mango

1 cup of fresh-squeezed orange juice

1 mango – no skin

2-3 ice cubes

 

Blend all ingredients and serve.

 

Papaya

3/4 cup of tangerine or orange juice

1 ripe bananas

1/2 ripe papaya, seeded, skin removed, and diced

 

Blend all ingredients and serve.
