Photo Story

Our Photo Story documents the different aspects of “Let’s Get Cooking”:

• looking for the recipe • determining amount of servings• creating a shopping list and budget• going to the grocery store to buy the ingredients • cooking the recipe.

Looking for a recipe

• My group selected a favorite recipe from my family – chocolate chip cookies!

• The recipe calls for 60 cookies, but we wanted to make sure everyone could have a few, so we decided to double the recipe.

• We think we can make the cookies for less than $25.00
