For my breakfast home lab, I made pancakes with a blueberry syrup with a mixed berry smoothie. The dish smelled very fruity, felt smooth, warm and soft, looked very bright coloured, and tasted fruity. I chose to create this dish because I wanted to challenge myself to put a different spin on classic pancakes. I also felt that I could do a good job show some creativeness when designing and cooking. A big challenge that I faced was making all the food at once because there were three components to my dish. I overcame this challenge by working very hard to multitask well, for example, preparing all the ingredients at the same time as cooking the syrup, since that takes the longest. Since I made it a focus to multitask, this challenge became my greatest success and I take pride in it because I had plenty of time to wash dishes and clean up in between. The adult that I cooked this for was very impressed and thought that it tasted great and was seasoned well.
