For today's cooking class, we made spinach, blueberry and peanut butter smoothies, because it is a healthy choice to have. We made sure we had the ingredients such as spinach, milk, peanut butter, frozen blueberries, whipped cream, honey, and ice after we went grocery shopping at Grocery Outlet and Smart and Final. In the blender, we put in the sliced banana, two cups of spinach, one cup of milk, two cups of blueberries, two tablespoons of peanut butter, put some honey, and the ice in it too. After that, we turned on the blender to make sure it was blending before serving, At last but not least, we picked up four cups and in the three cups we put some whipped cream on them except for the one. It was an excellent recipe to do as a cooking class in person. As a bonus, this is a video of me using the blender while making smoothies as a cooking class!

Then, I put one tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/2 tablespoon of curry powder and put some salt and pepper in it too. At last, I stirred it up until they were mixed together with a spoon. After that, I sliced up an apple into some medium slices, tried it out and it tasted delicious. For a bonus, I chopped up some extra pieces of apple and stirred it up! It was an excellent and amazing cooking class!

  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 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!

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!

  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.
