For today's cooking class on Zoom at my program, we made no bake energy balls. In bowl, I poured one cup of old fashioned oats, one half of cup of peanut butter, flax seeds and chocolate chips in the bowl. Next, I put one third cup of honey and teaspoon of vanilla extract. At last but not least, I stirred them up by using a spoon, and put some cooking oil on my hands after I washed my hands. Also, we rolled them into a ball and put them on a try with some wax paper. Then, we put them in the fridge for thirty minutes before we tasted them. It was delicious!  

  I woke up in the morning at 5am to go grocery shopping to get ingredients to my blueberry cornmeal pancakes. After going grocery shopping, my dad cleaned up the mess in the kitchen before helping me out making them for breakfast. First, we grabbed a bowl from the cupboard and one half cup of flour and yellow cornmeal. Next, we put two tablespoons of sugar, one half of teaspoon of baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. At last but not least, we put one cup of plain nonfat yogurt, three tablespoons of fat free milk, one tablespoon of olive oil, one egg yolk and one cup of blueberries. Then we stirred them up until they become smooth and combined before cooking them on the stove. We also fold in the blueberries and used one third per pancake on a nonstick skillet heated as above. While cooking them on the skillet, we flipped the pancakes when the tops are covered with bubbles and the edges are cooked. Then, we kept the initial pancakes warm on a rack in a low heat oven rat...

After having two meetings today, I decided to make a Tajin Cucumber Salad, because there were no meetings around 1pm to 2pm. First, I picked up a large cucumber, peeled it and sliced into pieces on a plate. Next, I put one half teaspoon of Tajin on the slices of Cucumber as I sprinkled. Last, I put two teaspoons of olive oil with a drizzle. It was a healthy choice to make as a recipe and I cannot wait to make it again!

For today's cooking class, we made Shamrock Pretzel Pops. First, we put some wax paper on the baking sheet, next we put some chocolate in the plastic bowl and put it in the microwave for 35 seconds and one minute. Then we stirred up the chocolate and put some green food coloring in it and we grabbed three pretzels and dipped it by using a spoon to make sure they look like a shamrock as a lollipop. Also, after making all three or more, we put some sprinkles on it too and at last, we put in in the fridge before taking a bite out of them. It was for fun as a cooking class, because St. Patrick's Day is over!  Also, I used the tooth picks as sticks for lollipops.  

After getting home from walking with my dog, I made breakfast for dinner tonight. First, I cooked some sausages and let them cook longer and I made some fried eggs too. While making them, I put some pepper on them to make it very tasty and they turned out very tasty and delicious! At last but not least, I ate them after they have been cooked on the frying pan on the stove. I cannot wait to have it again!  

Last Friday at my program, my friends and I did a picture of a llama dressed up as a Leprechaun, because it had to do with St. Patrick's Day. Also, It took a few minutes to draw this as we watched the video during our meeting for Zoom. While coloring it in, we used crayons and stayed in the lines in the piece of paper. At last, we drew a picture of a pug dressed up as the Easter Bunny, because it was a bonus. Also it had to do with Easter. We used crayons as well too and stayed in the lines!  

After I got finished with my Zoom meetings at my program, I went to the grocery store to get the recipes I need to make rich chocolate, strawberry and coconut overnight oats. So first, I cut a one half piece of banana and mashed it with a fork in the bowl. Next, I added one half of oats, almond milk, vanilla extract, one table spoon of coco powder, and another one of peanut butter and stirred it together and put in the fridge over night. At last, I woke up in the morning and put one teaspoon of flax seed, chopped strawberries, one teaspoon of coconut and one table spoon of peanuts. Also, I gave it a taste and ate for breakfast, because it was a very healthy choice and it was nutritious!  

  For my today's cooking class at my program, I made Asian Noodle Salad. First, I poured some water in the bowl and heat it in the microwave for three minutes, took it out by using gloves and put the ramen noodles in until they get cooked.  Next, I chopped up some radishes, green onions, cilantro, and cabbage as long we sliced them up and put them in the big bowl. At last but not least, we put in the noodles in, 1/4 cup of peanuts and some salad dressing and then we stirred them up by using the spoon. Also, we tried out the Asian Noodle Salad and did the review and it tasted delicious and nutritious. I thought it was good, gave it a thumbs up, and it was the best and excellent cooking class I ever had! I cannot wait to do it again!

After doing fitness at my program at 9am, We learned how to draw a Leprechaun Kitten for art class. While watching the tutorial, we followed the steps while drawing and then after that, we colored it in. Also, it was for art class. After coloring it in, I made a rainbow in the drawing for this artwork. In the picture, I put red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple and that had to do with St. Patrick's Day. At last, we did an extra drawing of the cat and I just watched and while watching I showed them my artwork and they thought it was very neat. This was a good tutorial on how to draw a Leprechaun Kitten!  

Today at my program, my friends and I made some lime "Rice Krispie" treats for a cooking class, because it is for St. Patrick's Day. First, we melted three pieces of butter in the microwave for thirty seconds and put in a big bowl and stir that up. Next, we put the whole bag of marsh mellows in it and put in the microwave for 30 seconds again, put one tablespoon of vanilla extract, put some one half cup of lime gelatin and stirred it up again. Then, we put 6-6.5 cups of "Rice Krispies" in the bowl to mix it up in the bowl and scooped it out and put in a pan. At last, we used the parchment paper to press on the "Rice Krispie" treats, that way it could fit.  

So today after lunch at my program, we did an art project on how to draw "The Cat in the Hat and Lorax" since it was Dr. Seuss's Birthday on Wednesday. When we drew the pictures, we had a piece of paper, a pencil and crayons. After drawing the characters, we colored them in and it turned out perfect was we stayed in the lines. At last but not least, showed our work. So, that was how we draw "The Cat in the Hat and The Lorax!"

  Today was Dr. Seuss's birthday, for my bonus cooking class with my friends at my program, I made Green Eggs and Ham. So, first, I put some cooking spray, cracked the egg open and put the yolk in the bowl and make sure it does not have any egg shells in it. Then, I beat the egg with the fork, cut up some tiny pieces of ham and add some green food color in the egg yolk and then stirred it up. Then after that, I cooked in the microwave for one minute after put the plate on top of the bowl as long not to make a mess. At last, I put it on the play and then I ate it and it was very tasty. So, that is how we learned about Theodore Seuss Geisel, because he was the author, cartoonist illustrator, poet animator, and film maker. He also wrote over sixty children's storybooks over the course of his career.

Today, with my friends and I at my program with my teacher, we made Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps. So first, we got the cabbage, cut the bottom part of it then we chopped into pieces and put it in a bowl.  Next, we chopped up three green onions on the cutting board and put them in the bowl too.  Then, we put two cups of diced chicken, one fourth cup of almonds, one half cup of the chow mein noodles, one half of the Asian Sesame Dressing. After that, we used a spoon to stir that up and at last but not least, we put five pieces of lettuce on the baking pan and put the stuff that was chopped on them and ate them. It tasted very good!
