fried rice

this lesson we made fried rice. fried rice is a good quick meal because you just to add all the vegetables and rice together and then cook it up. it was a very good balanced meal because it had the main food groups. the rice was the cahborhydrates, the onion, sprouts and peas were all vegetables. the bacon and egg was a source of protein. and the penut oils added were a little source of fat. the only thing that was missing was a serve of fruit. however to finish this meal with some fresh fruit to clear your throat would be ideal! overall this dish was healthy and very tasty!

comparison of two desserts

This cooking lesson we made two different desserts. the healthy option and then the less healthy option. we made chocolate chip cookies for the less healthy option and raspberry pineapple parfait for the healthy option. the parfait was much quicker to make as the fruits were but into a cup and then yogurt was poured on top. however the cookies took longer to bake. the parfait left a refreshing taste in my mouth and the cookies were yum but made me feel a bit sick after i had a few. sometimes the healthier option is nicer to have then the less healthy option. this lesson i worked with bridget. we work really good together and made really good cookies that we cooked perfectly! overall i loved this lesson because we got to experiment desserts for a healthy and non healthy meal. we discovered that healthy is yummy too!

Lettuce wraps

This lesson in the kitchen we made lettuce wraps. These are also a very good example of a balanced meal as it contains the main food groups. The turkey meat had protein, the oil and vinegar were a small portion of fat and the lettuce, carrot and cucumber were akk vegetables. To be honest I did not like this meal however it provides a healthy balanced snack.

Potato jacks

This was our first lesson in the kitchen. We made potato jacks. This is a balanced meal because it has vegetables from the colsur and carrot it had carbohydrates from the potatos, it had fruit from the fruit juice in the culsur and lastly it had a little bit of fat from the mayonnaise. However the only thing this meal is lacking is protein as there is no type of meat. I enjoyed this meal it is quick, yum and healthy!
