__Objective __ Create a recipe book consisting of 8 ‘healthy’ recipes, cooking directions, and nutrition information. The outline, information, and graphs should be similar to the ‘Recipes for Healthy Living’ at the end of each chapter in your textbook __Instructions __ 1) Choose 8 ‘healthy’ recipes within your chosen category. They can include entrees, appetizers, drinks, desserts, or salads. 2) Write the ingredient list and cooking directions for each recipe. 3) Determine the amount of servings in the dish. 4) Visit the website []  5) Using the search bar in the upper right corner, search for the nutrition data on all ingredients in your recipe. Pay attention to serving sizes! You will have to divide or multiply the nutrition data if the amount you use in the recipe does not match the serving size on the website. 6) Combine all of the nutrition data from all the ingredients in the recipe to determine the total nutrients in the dish. Use only the %daily value (not amounts) and focus on the following nutrients: total calories total fat protein total carbohydrates fiber sodium
 * Nutrition Group Project **

(these vitamins and minerals if they are above 2% in the recipe) calcium vitamin A vitamin C iron vitamin D vitamin B12

7) Add up the % daily value of all the nutrients and then divide by the # of servings in the dish to give the % daily value of nutrients per serving. (Remember, this is based on a 2000 calorie diet) 8) Create 2 graphs for each recipe. a. A pie graph showing the percent (%) daily value of CALORIES out of 100% b. A bar graph showing the % daily value of all of the nutrients listed in #6 __WIKI __ This project will be created on a ‘wiki’, where your group can work together and share information without having to actually meet. I will send you an invitation to join the wiki to your school email. You must follow the links and create your own username and password to be able to work on the wiki. You must put all of the information for the recipes on the front page of your wiki. Please make the page aesthetically pleasing and friendly to navigate. You add to the wiki just like you would using a word processing program like MS Word. You can type out the recipes and paste in graphs and pictures. Your group should communicate with each other using the DISCUSSION page on your groups wiki. All people in your group can add to and edit your wiki at any time and even at the same time. Make sure to communicate with each other about each group members responsibilities. You are able to see wiki’s that other groups are working on and you even have the ability to edit them, but do not alter another group’s wiki! Look, but do not touch. __Grading __ Your recipe wiki will be worth 100 points for each group member. I will grade on completeness (8 recipes with complete nutrition information and graphs), organization, and aesthetics. Every group member must participate. I will be able to view your wiki and discussion to see if all group members are active in the project.
