I asked my grandma if there was any deserts i could make that she likes. She already had the ingredients at home and she pulled out the stuff to defrost. You take one package of cream cheese and cool whip then mix it together. You two small packets of strawberry jello and mix it in. Then you add strawberries(we used frozen). Make sure it’s all mixed well. The last thing that was added was marshmallows. You put it in a container and put it in the fridge. This little desert took me about 10 minutes to make. I think it was super cool i wiped up this desert in such a short amount of time. If i’m ever craving a sweet I know I know a quick one I can whip up. 😁

April 22nd

On April 14th I decide to make dinner all on my own. I was home alone and dinner was all on me. Instead of making something in the microwave or putting a pizza in the oven. I decide it was time to make something good. I don’t want to just make things in the microwave all my life. I want to be able to make a nice dinner for myself when I live alone. On this night, I made pork chops. I had no idea how to cook pork chops. I first put ranch flavored seasoned flour on the pork chops. I put oil in the pan then laid 4 pork chops in the pan. I cook then until the were brown and also brown in the middle. I flipped them every time I thought it was needed. They pork chops ended up turning out very well and they actual tasted great! I also chopped us a salad and had some mash potato with this meal.

On April 7th i learned how to make steak on the grill. I did have help. Only cause i know nothing about steak or how to use a grill. 😆 First we seasoned the steak. After the seasoning was done i cut up lettuce and vegetables to make a salad. I used lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, and green peppers. Before heading to the grill i popped a few potatoes in the microwave for about 6 mins. Don’t forget to poke holes in the potatoes! Moving on to the grill the steaks were placed. I was honestly to scared to flip them. The fire on the grill was so high. It intimidated me just a little. But as each side turned brown you flip the steaks. To make sure they were done completely they were cut open. Making dinner this night was the most challenging so far. I am going to try and continue making a few dinners and challenging myself a little each time. 😁

I made these little cheesecakes on April 4th. My family has definitely been enjoying the little deserts I’ve made for them. When I told them I was making cheesecake they couldn’t wait to try it! Each of my family members who got to try the cheesecake said they were great. I personally think the cheesecakes would have been great without the jelly on top. The sweetness from the jelly took away from the cheesecake. All you could mainly taste was the strawberry jam. If I decide to make another cheesecake i won’t be adding strawberry jam.

Here’s the recipe for the mini cheesecakes. 😀

I decide to make a cake for my family. It was yellow cake with chocolate icing. The ingredients i used were yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and three eggs. I mixed them together using an automatic mixer. I put the mix in a glass pan baked at 350 degrees. Of course i turned the oven on first. When the cake was cool i put chocolate icing on top. My family sure did love it! Taking it to the next step tomorrow night. Im going to make little cheesecakes. 😊

Over the weekend I made brownie cookies. I wanted to start out cooking with something easy and work my way to the hard things. You had to mix the brownie mix and the cookie mix both separately. After everything was mixed up I poured the brownie mix in the pan first. I ended up using to big of a pan. I had to scrape out the brownie mix into a smaller pan. After I had the brownie mix ready and in the pan i was to drop tablespoon sized cookie balls into the brownie. I personally thought i had to much cookie so i threw over half away. The ending results didn’t look too much like the picture on the box but it wasn’t awful. I made a few mistakes while making this but I’m slowly learning.

Hi guys, my name is Bella. I am doing a 20 Time project for my english class. I am going to do my project on learning how to cook. I chose to learn how to cook because I think that it is an important skill everyone should learn. Knowing how to cook means I will always be able to have many different options on what to eat. I know a few things about cooking like how you use the oven, the microwave, and all the other tools you need. Usually I just place some kind of frozen food on a pan and bake it for the appropriate time. I have only made things like frozen pizza, pizza rolls, corn dogs, fries, and chicken nuggets. I want to expand my cooking and make some homemade foods. I am going to start out looking up recipes and get all the ingredients I need together. Wish me good luck. 🙂

Thanks for joining me. 👋🏼
