Kade’s Kitchen Week One: Laying out the groundwork for the upcoming term in EDTC 300
- I wanted to become more comfortable trying new recipes in cooking and baking.
- Becoming a better home cook? Yes, I did showcase that learning is being aware of the mistakes that I might make, taking my time in the kitchen (not rushing), trying to be calm, the pros and cons of sources, developing a growth mindset, and willing to continue trying new things online.
- In hindsight, I did not use the NYT Cooking app because I heard it was controversial for kitchen beginners.
- I did see the unique ways a person could cook with technology in 2024 through the sources listed, like Facebook, blogging websites, Nick DiGiovanni, TikToks, celebrity chefs, and the use of AI
- Most of the dishes were healthy, comfortable, and rich in culture
- I did sort of apply it to a Home Ec class
Kade’s Kitchen Week Two: A Sweet and Sour Adventure on Facebook
- I used Facebook from a creator’s reel.
- Understanding my comfort level in learning and safety is good most of the time
- I tried to follow the reel with the Ingredients I had at my house
- Put three links and picture to boost community involvement
- Connection to flavour and it is okay to try new things with adaptation in recipes over time
- Healthy meal
- New Skills: chopping chicken, dredging, frying it in a pan, and cooking it in the oven with a sauce
- Transferable skill to education in accommodation and inclusion
- Quick, reliable, and realness to cooking that I was scared of through Online Sources
- Acceptance that I need to have time for the Learning Project and ways to improve
- I wanted to continue being curious because then you take more opportunities
Kade’s Kitchen Week Three: C is for Cooking!!!
- I channelled my inner Cookie Monster for the first time in forever
- Brynn recommended Sally’s Baking Recipes, and Peter also pushed me to be my very best at baking
- I started putting the recipe into the posts to make them more accessible
- Start of a detailed description of what exactly I did during baking
- Experimenting with using Corn Starch because I had never heard of using them for cookies before
- I thought chilling was only for sugar cookies, but I was mistaken because they are the best cookies I have ever had!
- History of Chocolate Chip Cookies and Chocolate
- Figuring and knowing why cooking is an art and baking is a science.
- Changing attitudes to the point that I was starting to enjoy this project as more than just schoolwork
- Challenges are in the knowledge that makes you a better learner in the long run, and you always have to overcome them to succeed in life.
- I am becoming more open to classmates and more genuine in this class.
- I realized that all I have to do is be myself and put in the effort.
Kade’s Kitchen Week Four: Staking Out Photo Editing
- I had always been confused about how to cook a steak, so I decided to give it a try during Fall Break to thank my family for supporting me during University.
- I used two video recipes (one was a short) by YouTube chef Nick DiGiovanni
- Time efficient, unlike Photoshop, I did not want to do a video like everyone else. So, I perfected the pictures to a form that you would see in cookbooks or on Instagram
- I can deviate from the recipe in all good spirits because it does not end the world with the use of Montreal Steak Spice
- SAMR model opened my eyes to how technology could be adapted for the classroom
- The Photo Editing programs are a little finicky behind a pay wall, but they look perfect like the Steak and Garlic Mashed potatoes taste.
- The end product equalled a new perspective and skills, dedication, hard work, and presentation of my blog/the food on the plate.
- Simplistic, decadent, and wholesome!
Kade’s Kitchen Week Five: Are you PUMPED for Pumpkin Cheesecake?
- It is my favourite dessert that I made.
- I used Natasha’s Kitchen and started to rate the sites based on what I had learned.
- I am starting to feel closer to being a professional in the kitchen rather than a home cook.
- I figured out issues with Edusites pictures because they have been a pain in my side. They either say they are too big or in the wrong format. So, I email them to my university email and download them to my commuter as thumbnails.
- It’s okay to notice the imperfections with recipes, i.e. the brown sugar
- Similarly, I made a mistake because cheesecake is hard to bake, and it was cracked. I overcame this by doing some research on the issue. Ensuring that the same thing does not occur again and recognizing that it is a part of the learning process.
- You can’t be a perfectionist in cooking or baking
- I will make Pumpkin Cheesecake again because it is to die for!
Kade’s Kitchen Week Six: Swimming through the Food Network for Salmon
- Due to the cooking host’s positive attitude, I want to be like Mary Berg as a teacher and in any learning task.
- Hoping on the nostalgia train only motivated me more this week!
- I used the Food Network‘s online source, and it was alright. It was commercialized without the charm of a cooking blog or the audience of a content creator.
- I recommend it for anyone looking for a quick supper (45 minutes) and meal prepping.
- As always, I took pictures of my journey for everyone to see.
- While making this recipe, I learned to be practical and dedicated in the kitchen. I solved problems critically through my passion for understanding a situation by broadening my horizons with Salmon. I was afraid to try anything involving fish due to a lack of responsibility and tired after a long week.
Kade’s Kitchen Week Seven: We Built This City…. On Nanaimo Bars!
- Three-layered dessert was a challenge because I have never used a double broiler before, and the science behind it is fascinating!
- I used TikTok content creator Spirit Alchemists, and Larry produced an easy-to-follow video with a well-crafted, rich taste.
- In the baking section, I tried to make my post fun to convey my overall persona in the kitchen.
- Overall, the bars were joyful and experimental—to think that I would not have been capable of making them a few months ago!
Kade’s Kitchen Week Eight: The Battle of Lunch Proportions upon Soup & Buns
- The ideal pairing of Soup and Buns complements the approach to finals
- Not a fan of Campbell Soup and grocery store buns
- I used two recipes: The Natural Nurturer and A Pretty Life In The Suburbs. I enjoyed the soup’s health focus and the inclusive focus on recipe modifications. I will make the soup again and search for more on the site. Meanwhile, the buns were interesting because I tried the bread maker for the first time, and they were delightfully fluffy. I’m considering how to do dough for a future week.
- Continuing to be calm and collected in the verses of multitasking discovery!
- There was a little mistake with the hamburger in the soup, but in the end, it tasted perfect for cold winter days.
- I will take away that I have control of the kitchen or whatever else might come my way in life, but creativity has to exist to be whole.
Kade’s Kitchen Week Nine: Going BANANAS for this Cake Recipe!!!
- I used a recipe from A Mind Full Mom and it was homie and personal
- I have always wondered about the science of baking soda. It’s interesting, to say the least…
- The frosting is the chef’s kiss.
- I will make it for my Mom around the holiday season
- Measuring has been an issue for me, and I finally solved it by reading the Cake Baking Rules
- I should have added more photos, but I forgot while making it… oops
- Continued determination in my growth mindset through the inspiration of my classmates and the fact that I value this recipe because of my persistence
Kade’s Kitchen Week Ten: Like a Big Pizza AI, That’s Magically Amore!
- I used ChefBot AI to see the limitations that this form of technology can do for a recipe. There were some, but it is a personal issue with no pictures and feeling like a robot rather than a human presence. How much of any bot can you trust? The only thing nice you can do in this case is to rely upon it for cooking and baking.
- The pizza was top-notch because of my experience with dough. The sauce was good but a little bland. Everything else was my choice, from the deli meats to the vegetables to the mozzarella cheese.
- Inspiration from online videos and Briana Leibel’s beading with AI post
- Taste and patience are the most critical issues in a kitchen
- Magic School AI is an excellent tool with some flaws, but it is generally fantastic for teachers and students. The highlight was creating a Home Economics lesson plan for Grade 8s!
The evolution from S&S Chicken to Pizza is immense. I got comfortable trying new things on the Internet, seeking new skills, and always focusing on the positives of a growth mindset. I also recognize that learning is ongoing because we seek knowledge. As such, I will continue to seek recipes in both domains because it expanded my love of food. The only exception now is that I can add forms of technologies and media to my list of repeaters, from Facebook to charming cooking blogs to a literal AI. Documenting through pictures and the development of the dish’s history added what made the project fun! I was initially optimistic about blogging, but now I see the finer thing in it and applaud the opportunities blogs provide. This is evident in how photos, links, videos, and my friendly personality expanded over the four months in them. We should approach the digital world in education better than ever since it benefits the field, Teachers, admin, and most importantly, each student currently and future generations. Thanks for being the best support system and audience during my learning journey! Remember to congratulate yourselves that the term is now done, and take time to try one of my hearty meals or sweet treats!
