Progress in cooking

In the last two weeks we have gotten together and brainstormed a list of recipes in which we intend to make over the week to come. We now have to prepare these recipes as well as pick out the ones that are the healthiest and tastiest. After picking out the recipes we want to make, we then have to buy and prepare the ingredients necessary. We then plan on taking step by step pictures and posting them to the blog in order to inform the readers as well as enable them to be able to make the same dishes. This project has brought out a newfound love of cooking and has enabled us to make healthier choices in order to ensure our own athletic success. We have found out that it is somewhat difficult to pick out recipes that have significant health benefits but are also affordable and easy to make. In addition finding multiple recipes that fit this category is difficult as well. However other than this minor setback, we should still able to come up with recipes that can benefit us and other students in SHS alike.

The Beginning of a Nutritional Journey

In our anatomy and physiology class, we embarked on a project called 20% time or simply 20 time. This project revolves around students researching ideas they are passionate about and transforming them into a reality or a tangible product that can be used to help others. Our project is based around a broad topic, health, and how to efficiently fuel a body for all different needs. We chose this because we are both athletes and constantly require healthy energy sources to become successful in our sports. However, the problem we constantly face is how to eat cleanly but also acquire enough calories to fuel our bodies. Because of this, we will strive to put out healthy, easy to make recipes that fit the needs of not only the athlete, but also many different body types. Our main goal is to give people the ability to reach their health goals by having choices of food to make when they are hungry that wont require them to be a great chef or take their whole afternoon. I think the main way to know how we are doing on the recipes is by looking at the responses and number of page views we get. If it is not going well we will have to reevaluate our strategy and make changes beneficial to the project. From here on out, our goal is to help as many people as possible in their endeavors.
