Blog Entry #4- The Final Post

my favorite recipes through out the whole course was the Chocolate Cheesecake Bar, the Crepes and the Spicy Penne. I liked the cheesecake because it is my favorite dessert and I really enjoyed the cookie dough on top. I liked the crepes because they were very easy to make and you can use them for dessert or a dinner; the sweet crepes were very tasty. I liked the spicy penne because it had a lot of flavor and it was simple.

 

my two least favorite recipes were the Blueberry Pancakes and the Hummus. The pancakes had a very gross mint taste to them and the texture was a bit off. I didn’t like the hummus because it didn’t have much flavor and the flavor it did have wasn’t a good one.

 

one recipe that I would have liked to try is a Chicken Wrap

another recipe that would have been good would be Poutine

I also think a Cheese Loaf or another type of bread would have been good

 

a recipe I believe would be a great addition to the course is Cheese Scones

I think this would be good for the course because it is simple yet would be very tasty. It would be easy and not much work would be needed to put in to it; for the teacher and students.

 

One thing I found interesting was how when a cupcake tray isn’t all filled up you put water in the empty ones.

another thing I found interesting was the simplicity of tasty recipes.

the last thing I found very interesting was how the simplest thing can ruin a recipe but it can also make a recipe and I liked how there were some things we could add to make it perfect for us.

The recipe I liked the best was the Pasta Salad. I liked it because it was very interesting and had a lot of flavor. The pasta made it have good texture and it went well with everything in the recipe

 

The recipe I liked the least was the Lentil Feta Salad. I liked it the least because I didn’t like the texture and I didn’t find that the ingredients went well together. I also did not like the texture because of the nuts and lentils.

This is a recipe for Taco and Chicken Tortilla Salad. I think it would have been better than the Lentil Feta Salad because I think it would have had a lot of flavor and the ingredients would have worked very well with each other.

 

I found it most interesting how many salads can be made from various different ingredients. I would have never thought about putting beans into a salad.

The recipe I liked the best were the Banana Bread Muffins. I liked them the best because the chocolate chips added really good flavor and the texture of the muffins was nice and soft.

The recipe I liked the least was the Mexican Salsa. I didn’t like the lemond taste in it and the texture was bad because it was pretty much just vegetables with lemon on it. I think the vegetables should have been mashed up a bit and more flavor for it to tast better.

I think this salsa recipe would be better than the salsa we made because it would be more like salsa. This recipe has the vegetables mashed up so it isn’t very chunky unlike the salsa we made. I also like how much jalepenos are in it because the spice would have given it lots of flavor.

The most interesting thing I learned was the Pita Chips. It was interesting how easy it was to make chips for dips and things and they were very tasty.

The recipe I liked the most was the crepes. I liked the crepes the best because they were easy and simple yet very tasty. I liked how they were sweet but I also felt healthy eating them. It was great to learn how to make them because now it is simple to know how to make a dinner crepe or one for breakfast or dessert.

 

The recipe I liked the least were the blueberry pancakes. My reasoning for this is because they had a weird minty taste to them. Also they had an odd texture due to the oats.

This is a banana pancake recipe. I believe this would be a better recipe than the blueberry pancakes because it is still healthy with the banana’s but it wouldn’t have a weird texture or an odd after taste.

 

The most interesting thing I have learned in the past few weeks is how simple it is to make very tasty foods. I have never had the energy to make actual meals because of all the time I thought it took up but making the foods we have made in the past few weeks has shown me that you can make delicious foods very easily.
