Happy Meal

When we figured out our partners, I talked to Aleah about doing Root Beer Floats and Popcorn. During the Snack Shack lottery, both of those things were taken before our number was called. We ended up with lemonade and soft pretzels. I wasn’t that happy about it because I had already started to plan for Root Beer Floats and Popcorn. So, I started over and started to count the costs. It took about an hour to get a general list of all that we needed to get, and then we went to work. I got all of…

Introduction I had the pleasure of going to a Jamaican restaurant for a celebration. As I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and the pleasant aroma of Jamaican food. Everyone appeared to be happy, as this was a celebration. One of my closest friends is Jamaican, and being around her and her family, really inspired me to learn more about their culture. As I scanned the restaurant, I noticed that the décor had a very tropical theme. I took it upon myself to pay another visit to Irie Palace…

Food Tracking Coming to college I would have assumed that I would continue to eat in the same patterns. However, I have found through tracking my food for this class that I was really wrong. My baseline week for tracking food, I realized that I had barely had anything to eat throughout the week. Now, my eating habits have changed and have almost doubled. One reason I believe that my first week of tracking food was so different, is because I was still getting used to the swing of college.…

My teacher stopped her routine of dropping bags and saying “Happy Easter!”, and turned towards me with a stiff face. “Why do you say that, Katy?” I explained to my teacher that having two older brothers not only guaranteed me my own room, but also ruined surprises, like the secret of the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy…

wandered into your school cafeteria, starving and looking forward to a good meal, just to find a mound of glop on your tray? Our school is supposed to be giving us the healthy food but really it’s just causing students to skip lunch and starve until they get home. School doesn’t provide the healthiest food because they give small portions, we don’t know what we are eating and it’s not actually healthy. Lunch is an important meal of the day and it is eaten at school. High school students get…

I sat on the floor in the cafeteria of this godforsaken prison camp staring into the tiny dirty bowl that contained a brown and lumpy substance, that atrocious meal is my dinner. I closed my eyes and hesitantly consumed the sour chowder and in those moments my reality became definite. I, Mr. Tuvel, a mine manager who once lived a life of luxury with my family currently undergoes through cruelty and embarrassment because of my Jewish religion. However, my strong willpower will not succumb into…

The word lunch is an abbreviation of the more formal word “lunchentach,” which was from the 1580’s. Over 100,000 schools and institutions serve school lunches to 30.4 million students each day. Many students bring their own lunches because of the long waiting lines for school lunches and also to save money. Not to mention that a home lunch is healthier and more nutritional than an average school lunch. Though there are disadvantages of packing a home lunch, like packing it every day or if the…

21 Day Challenge During my 21 day challenge I ate a vegan diet, which is very healthy and helped me lose weight, appreciate the nutrition in foods, and change my usual diet. My vegan diet only included plant based products and excluded all animal products. Animal products are very fatty and unhealthy, it would be better to get your proteins and antioxidants straight from the earth through organic grains and vegetables. deciding what to do for my 21 day challenge i had to do the hardest thing…

Nutrition plays an enormous rule in our everyday lives, but unfortunately it is over looked by a vast majority of the world. Over the last couple of weeks, my classmates and I tracked our daily intake; everything we consumed had to be logged. In doing this I got the opportunity to look at my daily nutrition values. I used an application on my cell phone called MyFittnessPal, which calculated what my ideal intake should be based off of my height, weight, age, sex, and activity level. I came in…

The sound of sizzling meat, steaming vegetables, and family laughing while anxiously waiting for an intense dinner as the sun brightens the kitchen was one of Christy Jordan's favorite ways to spend a meal as she explains in Southern Plate. Christy Jordan’s cookbook Southern Plate presents Jordan’s most loved “no-fuss southern favorites” such as Chicken and dumplings, homemade banana pudding and daddy’s rise-and-shine biscuits. The thesis that Jordan tries to get across is that southern homemade…
