Wow, I cannot believe this semester is already coming to an end and this Learning Project is over. I absolutely loved this project and enjoyed making something new and different every week! I had no idea I would have enjoyed this project so much but over the semester, I really came around to enjoy every part of it. This allowed me to finally learn how to cook which is something I have been wanting to learn how to do for some time now. This project was a great start for my cooking journey! I am so glad I was able to participate in something such as this. This project allowed…

Garlic Butter Salmon? Yum
Wow, I cannot believe this is my last time cooking for my blog!! This journey has been so much fun and I am really glad I chose to cook for my project! Any who, this week for my last week of cooking I decided to make a garlic butter salmon dish. Now, I know not everybody likes salmon but this one you’ve gotta try! I once again found the recipe from Pinterest (this is always a life savor, you can find anything on there!). The recipe came from Dinner at the Zoo that I found scrolling through Pinterest. I came across a lot of recipes but this one stuck out…

Learning How To Code!
This week we were introduced to the topic of coding! Now, when I first heard we were going to learn about coding, I had no idea what to expect. When I hear the word coding I automatically think numbers and a bunch of confusing things that goes along with it. However, it wasn’t like that at all (at least the portion that we learnt wasn’t.. haha). Which I am very glad about because I am not a huge technology person and would definitely have some struggles. When we were looking at examples in class and experimenting with them I thought to myself ‘wow, this seems pretty cool and easy to…

Garlic-Parmesan Wings
I am very excited for this weeks meal and cannot wait to show you guys what it is! This week I was thinking chicken but I wanted to spice it up a little and try something different. So, I went onto Pinterest (you can never go wrong with Pinterest) and found a really tasty garlic-parmesan chicken wing recipe that I thought I could try! Now, I’ve had garlic-parmesan wings before but in a restaurant and really liked them, so I wanted to give these a try on my own. There were tons of recipes on these wings but with the one I found I already had everything at home with…

This is No Kraft Dinner
Alright, for this weeks meal I was a little stumped and did not know what to make. So, I asked my family for some ideas and my brother reallyyy wanted Mac and Cheese. So, I gave him mac and cheese haha. This meal had me bring out my inner child and remembering eating good old Kraft dinner when I was younger (well maybe occasionally now too lol). I did my research and watched a few videos and read a few websites in order to find the perfect mac and cheese recipe to recreate. And I think I found a pretty good one. I used a YouTube video this week from…

Olive Garden’s Famous Fettuccine Alfredo But at Home
Alright, I am pretty excited about this weeks dish for many reasons. 1. I love pasta. 2. I love Olive Garden. 3. I love fettuccine alfredo. So I thought why not make it myself? And that is exactly what I did! I was really excited to try and make my own alfredo sauce from scratch this week as I have never done so before. I always wanted to try making it myself instead of using the store bought version. And let me tell ya… it was worth it. I got the recipe from The Cozy Cook just online and this was my first time using this specific website. I really…

Taco Tuesday!!
Even though this is being posted on a Wednesday I made them on a Tuesday… lol. But this week I wanted to try and make taco’s which are one of my favourite foods to eat and thought I’d give it a try! And just for the record they are super easy to make, I didn’t think they would be difficult but the whole process took me about 20 mins. Just a super quick and easy meal that everyone loves! I got my taco recipe from Betty Crocker which I linked there for you for easy access if you wanted to give it a try! This recipe is super easy to…

Stuffed Bell Peppers… Yum
This week I decided I wanted to try and make stuffed bell peppers. I have had stuffed bell peppers in the past but they were always store bought and I wanted to give it a shot and try making it myself! I loove bell peppers they are probably one of my favourite vegetables they are good either cooked, or not cooked. The process of making the bell peppers went pretty smooth and efficient. I feel like I am getting the hang of this cooking thing haha. The only thing I have a struggle with is my time management butttt I am still working on it!! Anyways, to make the stuffed…

Video Making and Cooking All in One?!
For this weeks blog, we had to choose a tool/app that we have not used before in order to document our progress on our learning project. I was a little nervous at first because I am not super tech savvy and thought I would struggle to come up with something. However, when I came across Adobe Spark, it was smooth sailing. I’ve heard of Adobe Spark before but have never used it. I didn’t know what it all consisted of until I did a little research on the tool and explored what it had to offer. It was very simple and easy to use, which is what I like! I…

Round 2… Here We Go!
This week I had some trouble deciding what exactly I wanted to cook. I was bouncing between two different meals but decided on this one! This weeks meal was a chicken stir fry! I was pretty excited to try this out, although I’ve had something similar to it before, I’ve never made it myself. I was a little nervous though because it was my first time cooking with chicken, alone and I did not want to under cook it because, well, you know what would happen. Thankfully all turned out well! For my stir fry I didn’t go off a recipe, I just googled to get some inspiration and ideas…
