After a long week of midterm exams, I am refreshed and ready to begin cooking again. I have just begun my very last quarter as a high school student, and can't believe how fast this year has gone by! Since it is fourth quarter, that means my final project for WISE is extremely close. So far, I have about 25 recipes for my book, and I plan to add more by the end. Because my final presentation is approaching quickly, I have begun to think of how exactly I want my presentation to be conducted. My thoughts now are that I will include a cooking demonstration as well as a detailed look at the cookbook my audience will receive. These are just a few ideas which I will embellish before the day of my presentation.
Today, I chose to make a healthy and delicious appetizer. I made shrimp egg rolls. This Chinese classic has always been a "don't-touch" when thinking about this type of food. However, now, it is a "must-have!" With very simple ingredients that include egg roll wrappers, coleslaw mix, shrimp, different vegetables, garlic, salt, and pepper, this recipe was extremely easy to put together. Compared to the average egg roll that has about 330 calories for two egg rolls, these have only 189 calories for two! With a significant difference in the amount of calories between the two, it is evident that we have successfully rolled out the calories in this new recipe.
For this coming week I am going to continue exercising daily, researching, as well as cooking. Stay posted for more recipes!
RANDOM FACT: Freezing is the best form of food storage because frozen food loses several times less vitamins A, C and B group than during keeping fruit and vegetables when another storing method has been chosen.
