This is our final week of our Genius Hour Project. We have each learned a lot of things and will share our personal experiences down below. Sophia- Through out this project I have learned a lot. Even though it was all about cooking and baking I have taken away skills that I will use for the rest of my life. For example, I was not very good at managing my time, but after a few weeks I was able to realize that this project is something I cannot put off till the last minute. This project was also able to teach me some basic cooking and baking skills. I have never been particularly good at any of this, and doing this project let me know that I need to improve on my basic life skills if I want to be able to succeed on my own. Laney - I have learned a lot from this project. I feel like I have gained a lot of important life skills over the course of the past few weeks. Starting off with this project I didn't think we would be able to make our schedules and cooking times work out, but overall we did it. I have always enjoyed baking and cooking and I feel like this project added to that. One thing that I did learn about myself is that I am not very good at making specific things, such as hamburgers. I have found some great recipes throughout this project as well that I will continue to make after this project is over. Mikaylah: When I first started doing this project I had very high expectations about how I wanted things to turn out. I wanted the scheduling and cooking to be perfect. I later found that my expectations were too high. This project became difficult when it came to being able to meet up when needed and everyone being on the same page about what we should cook and who is going to cook. At the end of this project I had learned that I need to take things as they come and to realize that nothing is perfect. I learned some good cooking skills that I will forever use, along with learning how to better communicate with my group members. Brooklyn- Coming into this project I had one goal in mind, and that was to simply become better at cooking. I wanted to familiarize myself with different techniques and become more confident, and now that we are at the end I felt like I did achieve this goal. With each week I could see my self becoming more confident in what I was doing. I have always loved baking and did it quite frequently. This project let me expand on that by helping me stay organized and have a time frame that I had to get it done by. I hope to keep planning my meals and cooking/baking in the future.

This week we made chicken noodle soup. To start this recipe we started by heating the butter over medium, in a dutch oven. We then added the onion, celery and carrots, stirring often, until the onions were translucent. We added garlic and then cooked for 1 minute longer. After that we added the chicken stock and bay leaves then brought that to a boil over high heat. We reduced that to a medium heat then cooked the vegetables for another 10 minutes. Finally we added the chicken, noodles, parsley, salt and pepper. Brought that to a heavy simmer then placed the lid on top. Sophia- This recipe is good for the winter and is very filling. My whole family enjoyed it and we will probably add it into our dinner rotation. This recipe was the first that I have completely followed because I have never made soup. Although I have never made soup it actually came out very successful. Next time I wish that I would add some more seasoning, but that would definitely be the only adjustment I would make. Mikaylah- This week we made chicken noodle soup. This soup is a family favorite and I have eaten this since I was a kid. My mom would make it for me whenever I am sick and I love. However, this recipe is a little different than the one we normally make; so it wasn't my favorite, but my family and I still enjoyed eating this. Laney - This recipe was very good. Chicken noodle soup is one of my favorite foods so I knew this would be a fun one to make. One issue I ran into with making this recipe was making the noodles. It was very complicated to get the noodles to the right consistency. In the end, my family and I enjoyed the soup and I would make this recipe again. Brooklyn- This week we made chicken noodle soup. This is one of my favorite meals ever. It’s great to eat on a cold day. I think this was relatively easy and tasted great. The only problem I had was knowing when the noodles were ready. I ended up cooking them a little longer then I was probably supposed to but they still were good. I served this to my family for dinner one night and everyone loved it!
