Projects Galore

Homework is the theme of this blog. My classes are more intense than normal and they just keep loading on the projects and assignments. This week only I had assignments to write a diabetic meal plan, a resume, a cover letter, do a 24-hour food log and a project associated with that. I also have a menu project due as well as a paper on wild rice due next week. I also got take two tests this weeks and get to take three this weeks.

Tests are fabulous as well as stressful. I did amazing on my first nutrition test though. I only missed 0.25 of a point. Nutrition is one of my favorite class I have gotten to take while at school. I love everything about it...including learning how bad I eat and how much I need to improve my lifestyle and eating habits. One thing at a time though. I figure I better get out of school first.

I've also been working on this menu project. I have to creat an entire menu for a restaurant of my creation . I have to write a mission statement, design the menu and have all the recipes and cost cards necessary for that menu. It has been a lot of work and I don't even think I am half way done yet. My restaurant is all based on grains though and so it was been incredibly fun to learn so many different recipes with so many different grains. I am very focused on grains right now. There are so many different grains, with so many different tastes and textures and each provides different nutrients. My world used to consist of just long-grain rice.....now I think I have to decide between 13 or 14. Grains are good!
