Foods I: Muffins


Today we made your choice of: Banana Nut Muffins, Poppy Seed Muffins, Blueberry Muffins, Cornbread Muffins (picture above), or Bran Muffins.

Muffin Recipe

Be careful not to overmix your muffins. If you do, they will be too chewy & they won't have a nice hill on them (they will look like coneheads...something that you do NOT want).





You'll also need to print off the worksheet we did on Quick Breads: Quick Breads Worksheet by reading the information on the study guide: Quick Breads Study Guide.

Foods II: Health Concerns Related to Diet

Today we took notes on health concerns that relate to our diets. While taking notes, you'll need to use context clues to help you fill in the note guide (ex. if anemia is a lack of iron in the blood, then a prevention would be to eat high in iron foods). You'll then need to create a PowerPoint focusing on a health concern that YOU are at risk for. Further directions are on the note guide.

Thanks.
