Stirring Up the Recipe for Success

Yesterday was my first official day as a WISE student at Cypress Bay.  After hearing Coach Love describe the details of the course, I had many different ideas for my project spinning in my head.  I have been thinking for weeks of what exactly I wanted my project to consist of and after attending class yesterday, I finally figured it out.  I am planning on creating a cookbook that consists of healthy alternatives to typical daily meals.  Often, people are unaware of the hefty amount of calories they consume each day.  With my cookbook, I will compare popular, but fattening, dishes with just as tasty, but healthy, foods.

I have always been conscious of what foods I consume, and this project will allow me to expand my horizons and think up new diet-friendly recipes.  Not only am I extremely health conscious, but I have always had a passion for cooking.  This project is the perfect opportunity to combine both of these passions. 

Even though it is just the beginning of my journey, I have begun thinking of new recipes that include appetizers, main courses, and of course, dessert.  Yes, I said it, HEALTHY DESSERTS!!

To begin my WISE journey, I have spoken to my mentor and I am extremely excited to meet with her this week to discuss my project goals.  But for now, I am researching healthy food substitutes, and hope to begin cooking this week.

Stay posted to learn new recipes that will help you get your stomach from fat to flat!
