What Am I Fixing This Week? This week I am going to help me family by fixing hot dogs and chili. Hot dogs are pretty simple to fix to be honest, so I decided chili would be a great addition to go on the hot dogs. I will also add a lot more stuff to my hot dog, but I'm not going to include that as it's basically just my cutting up something. How Am I Going To Fix The Chili? Since hot dogs are as easy as just putting them on the grill I'm going to mostly focus on the chili. To fix the chili I used one pound of hamburger meat and put that into a pot. I then added two teaspoons of chili powder, a few drops of Texas Pete, salt, pepper, and a cup of ketchup. Although this is all the recipe said my dad actually suggested to add a little bit of a secret ingredient. That secret ingredient was actually a soft drink from the coke-a-cola company. I used just a little, maybe one sixth of a bottle, and then drank the rest of course. After mixing all of the ingredients I put it on the stove and mixed it every once in a while until it started to bubble. Once it started to bubble it means that it's done. How Was The Food? The hot dogs were really good, and so was the chili. I ended up cutting up a little bit of onions to put on my hot dog, and I also used mustard. I was proud that I didn't burn the hot dogs as at one point I got totally distracted from cooking and I didn't check on them for a while. Everything turned out really good and I'm really proud of how much my cooking skills have improved since when I started this project.

What Am I Fixing This Week This week I am fixing a few chicken legs. Instead of frying them which I prefer although they aren't as healthy, I am going to simply cook them. By cooking them it is a lot healthier, but probably requires more work to do. So I think that is a win win as I am cooking all of this food to get better at cooking more difficult dishes and to eat healthy food. How Am I Cooking The Chicken Legs The first thing that was required was to buy a few chicken legs to cook. After buying twelve and coming back home I followed the recipe that I found off of the internet. The recipe called for a half of a cup of water, and a third of a cup of ketchup. I love ketchup so I put a little bit more than a third of a cup, but not quite a half of a cup. Another third of a cup of vinegar is then required, followed by a teaspoon of honey. A stick of butter and a little bit of salt is then added to the mixing bowl. I also added a fourth of a cup of brown sugar and two teaspoons of worcestershire. I then mixed the ingredients together before putting the sauce on the oven until it came to a boil. I then took the chicken legs out of the fridge and poured the sauce onto them. I then put the chicken legs into the oven that was set on 350. About an hour and a half later they were done and ready to eat. Did They Taste Good? To be completely honest, I still prefer fried wings. These cooked chicken legs were still really good, and a lot healthier for me though.
What Am I Cooking This Week? This week I am cooking another steak. I first cooked steak in week five and I have found a recipe that I believe will be better. Not only that I am trying to do this without help, unlike week five. This is going to see how much I have improved throughout the weeks. How Did I Fix The Steaks? As previously said, I found a new recipe to fix my steaks. This new recipe called for new seasoning. This time I used Weber Chicago steak seasoning, cavender's all purpose Greek seasoning, and grill mates Apple wood rub. I then grilled it just like last time, and I even remembered that it needed to sit for a minute before you cut it. By letting it set for a little bit it allows for the juices inside the steak to spread throughout the steak. Without letting the steak set the juices will gather in the middle and the outside will be dry and it won't taste as good. Was It Better Then The One Fixed In Week 5? Honestly I didn't think that it would be as good as the one fixed in week two at first, but I think it was. The new recipe that I found was really good and I think that I have really improved since when I first cooked a steak, which is obviously really good. Hopefully I can start to cook things that I have already cooked in the upcoming weeks to see if I have improved with those meal as well. It's hard to believe that I have done this project for eight weeks already!
What Am I Fixing This Week? This week I am going to fix a salmon casserole for lunch. I usually only eat salmon by itself, but I found a recipe that looked very good. So this will not only be my first time cooking a salmon casserole but I don't think I've ever ate one either. How Did I Fix The Salmon Casserole? To fix the salmon casserole I first had to get two cans of salmon. After putting two cans of salmon into a mixing bowl I had pick bones out of the salmon. The easiest way to do this I found was to almost mash all the salmon up with my hands. I then added an egg, salt, pepper, Worcestershire, and some Texas Pete. Then you mix all of the ingredients up and put into the oven to cook. I set the oven to 400 and it took about forty minutes. Was It Good? The salmon casserole was very good, and I hope I can eat more in the future. I was surprised at how I couldn't taste the ingredients at all. I figured I could taste the Texas Pete a little bit (especially due to the amount that I put in) but I couldn't taste it at all.
