Differing Lifestyles
Based on your assigned scenario, why did you plan the meal you
did? (Short paragraph of 3-4 sentences)
I thought back to my time as a teenager living at home and how busy
my family was with three teenagers who were all active, and I feel
Recipes for all your menu items (can be links rather than written out)
like spaghetti was a staple meal for those busy nights. However, I
wanted to put a little twist on it and make it baked spaghetti for this
assignment because that was more appealing to me. I feel like this
meal is very delicious but not elaborate or time consuming, so it’s
easy for all the family to enjoy before rushing off to their activities.

 Personal Reflections
Write a reflection paragraph describing what you did well and what you can improve on in the future. Also, consider how the
weekly theme played a role in your decisions.

• This was a great meal, but the spaghetti was a little sticky. I think next time I would put the oil in first with
the noodles and maybe mix that around before adding the rest of the ingredients. The recipe also does not
use any meat, so I would add some ground beef. This is a classic meal for families that are always on a busy
schedule!
