Our last blog!!!!! We decided to make something really good to finish the project. We chose a tasty meal of won tons being served with rice and broccoli.
To start, Jenna and Heidi started making the chicken mixture and combining all the ingredients. After everything was combined, Heidi focused on wrapping the won tons and frying them. She used a mini fryer to cook the won tons while Jenna made the sauce and sides. Jenna steamed the broccoli in a steamer for 30 minutes. While that was steaming, she worked on the rice and dipping sauce. For the rice, she just put it in a pot with water on low heat until the water evaporated, keeping it covered. The sauce was pretty simple to do. Just combine everything and stir basically until the peanut butter was dissolved. This meal took us about 1 hour and 20 minutes. We got a review of 5/5 because of how tasty the meal was. We started a little early around 5:40pm so be could serve the meal at a reasonable time around 7:00pm. Throughout the course of this project, we were told that we have learned how to work together in cooking meals. We've learned time management and some short cuts to cooking faster. There has been some struggles here and there with what to make, when to make it, what day to get together etc. But we pushed through and finished the cooking experience of cooking healthy in a reasonable amount of time by working together. This project was definitely a learning experience. Thank you to everyone who stayed along the journey of this project! You are greatly appreciated. Don't forget that you are AMAZING being you!!!!

This week we made a bigger meal than the taco salad.
First, we started on the meat. We mixed all the ingredients into the meat and Jenna divided them equally into 12 parts. Heidi decided she wanted baby muffin-like sized meat loaf, so we put them in a muffin/cupcake pan. Then they went into the oven. While the meat was cooking, Heidi started on mashed potatoes and Jenna started on the green beans. The potatoes were peeling and then boiled into water. Then they were drained and mashed. Heidi added some milk to make the mashed potatoes creamy. Heidi cut the ends off of the green beans for Jenna and she started cooking them in a pan with butter and garlic powder. When they were done, she removed them from the heat and placed them into a separate bowl. She added sliced almonds into the same pan and dry roasted them. When the almonds were almost done, she added the green beans back into the pan and mixed. When the meat was done, we took some barbecue sauce and out about a tablespoon on each one. We then put it back in the oven until it was like a glaze. The meal took us about an hour and 15 minutes because there was a bit more to do than the taco salad. We got an average rating of 4.5/5. The meal was good and well served. The only minor problem we had was the green beans got kinda cold while we were finishing up the meat. We didn't cover them while we waited and we probably should have. Stay tuned for ONE more meal!!! |
