Last spring my organic seed supplier had a special on pie pumpkin seeds. Naturally, I decided to grow pie pumpkins for the first year ever. The five vines I planted produced over 100 pounds of pie pumpkins. This left me with a problem: I can only eat so many pumpkin pies. I can only give my neighbors and friends so many pumpkin pies.…
Variety in the Pantry My father used to be a chef so he knows how to cook for a crowd. Every time he cooks we have leftovers for what seems like weeks. My sister and I often got very tired of what we were eating and my father would be the one stuck struggling to eat all the extra food. My sister and I developed what is called food fatigue.…
Yummy, healthy, chewy, sweet and sour. On top there is red waat, which is tomato sauce and spices that’s extremely hot. I tear into in the injera, my mind is feeling some type of…
They are cooked to perfection every time. Their crispy, fried shelling is a gorgeous shade of light brown with specks of evenly distributed seasoning. Inside of the mozzarella sticks is viscous mozzarella cheese. One of the greatest joys in life is receiving a…
One of my teachers recommended me a Mexican restaurant on Alberta st. that I had never tried before. I had no idea where I wanted to eat lunch so I went there and ordered tacos. After enjoying my sunny day, I came home and ate tacos for dinner.…
Since I have a small family, I did not have to change their eating habits. My husband was gone during that week and I have always cooked separate for my daughter because she is a picky eater. We eat out only when my husband is home, therefore, I did not have to struggle with the type of foods they serve at the…
The best lunch I ever had was at Le’Grill with some of my closest friends. We got to go off on our own and have lunch wherever we wanted for one hour, Renbrook gave us more freedom than they ever had before. We chose to go here because it was in a beautiful part of the city. Old Quebec City amazing architecture, the buildings made you feel like you were somewhere special. The streets were mainly stone like Venice Italy.…
Thanksgiving at Marymount California University was one day I will never forget. The day was to celebrate the holiday as a school with staff and students. I arrived at the cafeteria and it looked like it got shut down. The tables were covered with orange and yellow tablecloth. The room was soon filled quickly.…
I also chose to write on this because I want to know how culture and traditions are incorporated at our thanksgiving dinner. I never noticed any of this because I’m so used to it always being the same like a routine at each dinner. The event took place at my aunt Maria’s home on November 24th…
If I were to rethink my diet, I would be able to change a lot of eating choices. I would be able to eat more fruits and vegetables because I hardly eat any at all. I should eat less processed food and eating more food that I can cook myself that tastes better and is healthier. My parents buy unhealthy food, but if they would buy healthier food that tastes good, I would definitely have a better diet. In the fall and winter is when my diet is the healthiest because I hunt and kill my deer and eat that almost every day.…
The course received its very first Fall frost on November 20th, and those chilling temperatures gave way, to a little needed golf time-out for the upcoming holiday festivities. Speaking of festivities, the 9-hole ladies celebrated their annual Christmas Lunch on December 3rd, and lunch wouldn't be complete without the beautiful table decor created by our lovely Suzanne Schmitz. Lori Randall captured our attention at lunch too, with a slide show collection of our current season and pictures from decades long ago. Lori has proven to be a wonderful golf historian and 9-hole photographer. Way to go, Lori.…
Thanksgiving Extra-Credit Assignment My family has never been big on the holidays- I almost always spend them at a friend’s home. This year, I went to my friend Alex’s home for Thanksgiving alongside my friend Jay. Alex and Jay are frankly some of the greatest friends I can ask for, and going in to thank them I knew they would take it light-heartedly and make a joke out of it. Before we sat down for dinner, the three of us were sitting in her living room ranting and cracking jokes.…
When we got a pizza it was hot and all that cheese was coming off cause they put too much cheese on all of the slices like we had to hurry up and eat the cheese if not it woulded feel onto our laps and we would have a burn. There food was really great and they always came out hot and not cold like most restaurants does. And I love to eat and that is why Mama’s Pretzel kitchen was my favorite…
The Trip to the Grocery Store I haven’t seen him in weeks or maybe even months, I thought as I glared across the small distance between where I was standing and my dad’s car. With my One Direction CD clutched in my hands, I started to close the distance by walking towards his car. I opened the door and slipped in, and then he started to drive to the grocery store. At the time I was under the illusion that my dad would be even slightly happy to see me, but no.…
Some of my favorite sweet treat are cupcakes, Reese’s peanut butter cups, plain chocolate M&M’s, or cookies of any kind. When I have an appetite for my favorite sweet treats I try drinking a bottle of water and chewing sugar free gum to suppress the urge to grab those. I’d out of all my meals, dinner is most definitely the biggest one. I normally try to cook a healthy dinner for myself and family, although some nights I prefer convenience. A normal home cooked meal for me would consist of grilled chicken with a tablespoon of Ms. Dash’s seasoning, 5-6 roasted asparagus sticks with 1-2 tablespoons of Olive Oil and 1 teaspoon of pepper and ground sea salt, 2-3 large piece of French bread, 1 cup of mixed greens with 5 cherry tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese with two tablespoons of Newman’s lite balsamic vinaigrette dressing.…
