Annotated Bib

"Healthy Eating." Healthy Eating: Simple Ways to Plan, Enjoy, and Stick to a Healthy Diet. N.p., n.d. Web. 25 May 2017.

This article talks about what it means to eat healthy. It talks about different kinds of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, calcium, and vitamins. For example, protein supports mood and cognitive function. There are the unsaturated and saturated fats. Saturated fats are healthy and vital to emotional and physical health. I used this article to see what kinds of diet is the most important and healthy.

"Blurb." Blurb. N.p., n.d. Web. 25 May 2017.

This is the website I used to create my cookbook. It has a built in software and I can easily add things in. I can also estimate the cost of the cookbooks before printing it. This website also provides many options in the different types of books, sizes, and colors. It made my publishing process very easy! 
"400 Healthy Recipes (That Won't Break the Bank)." Greatist. N.p., 19 May 2016. Web. 25 May 2017.
There are many healthy recipes idea in this website. I got some inspiration from here and created my own. For example, I saw their banana ice cream and I modified the measurements/directions and added peanut butter to create peanut butter ice cream. I also saw that they had dark chocolate avocado cookies and I modified it to dark chocolate meringue.
"A Lighter Lemon Bar." Prevention. N.p., 01 Nov. 2011. Web. 25 May 2017.
I really like their lemon bar recipe. It has significantly less amount of sugar and calories yet taste the same as normal lemon bars. I altered their lemon bar recipe a little bit and added in a raspberry paste to add more flavor. 
"How To Write A Recipe Like A Professional." Kitchn. N.p., n.d. Web. 25 May 2017.

I used this website as a guide for how to write recipes, or what goes into a recipe. This website explains the different kinds of measurements (ounce, tablespoon etc) and how to be consistent with one. It also tells you how to write the directions part so that it is very simple and easy to follow.

Final Blog Post

I am officially done with my signature project this year!!!! I had so much fun preparing for the presentation. The presentation went really well on Friday and I am surprised at how many people came! I also sold many cookbooks after my presentation and during lunch. I am so grateful for the support I got from the community. I also got to hear the grandparents and parents telling me how they are also doing similar things as me but in their own community. Last but not least, I want to say a big thank you to Ms Mossop for being my signature mentor this year and the Signature Team for guiding me throughout this journey. I hope I can continue to make an impact on peoples' diet!

April Post

After talking with Mr Calos about the number of copies of cookbooks I should order and the price, I finally purchased them. I ordered a total of 90 copies. 12 copies for Signature, 10 copies for local food banks/food pantries, 30 copies for myself to keep, 5 for the library, 2 for the dining hall, and 30 for sell. The cost per book is around $5. The cookbooks arrived in a week and I was very excited to see what they look like. I am really pleased about how they turned out. My last activity that I need to do is giving them out to local food banks since my cookbooks were designed for them. I met with Ms Mossop and we decided to give to the food banks that I had a connection with. We decided to give to Joseph's House, Unity House, Hope 7, and Food pantry CEO. On Wednesday, I went to Hope 7 and gave 2 copies to the the director of Hope 7. (See picture below) I will go down to Joseph's House next Wednesday with Ms Mossop.  For Unity House, I will mail them. For CEO, I will give 3 copies to Ms Buinicky to give it since her brother is the director of the food pantry. In the meantime, I am preparing for the signature presentation which will happen on may 19. I can't believe this is almost the end of my signature project this year!
