Analysis:
My mom is really big on eating healthy foods before we have desert. She always said “ No ice cream until you eat those greens” I made this meal because  it’s a great food to eat when you're not trying to spend a lot of money and also want something quick to eat. If you're not a fan of eating greens (broccoli, string beans,spinach etc) then this meal is something that you will enjoy because it has some of your favorite foods. This meal contains chicken to enrich the meal. Most healthy choices are nasty and this is why people don’t chose to eat them. Since this meals contains chicken .. grilled chicken it is healthy and tasty. There is not a lot of grease of the chicken because all the grease comes off when you grill it. There is not a lot of fatty foods in this meal, which is also a good things because it does not contain a lot of calories. This meal is not expensive it only cost me about $10. Usually with healthy foods you pay a lot of money but with this meal its not a lot of money and it doesn’t take a lot of time to cook. This is definitely a good choice if you wanna eat both healthy and tasty.


Reflection
I personally enjoyed this project. I liked the idea of us teaching the class about eating healthier and also teaching them different foods they can make to choose healthier options. I know that we as teens don’t always eat healthy. The reasons being because of the cost and also because healthier options are not really good versus non healthy options. I liked that this project was designed for us to create healthy foods at a reasonable price. This was good because this is helping  with the problems of unhealthy options within the teen community. It was good to see what everyone made and how it tasted. Normally healthy options are not really good and it amazed me how everyone managed to create something healthy and tasty ! Also healthy foods are normally expensive so it’s cool to get options that are cheap and that we can afford. Great project.
