Problem
This family wants to have a weekly meal plan from Monday to Friday. But with some obstacles between work schedules and extra curricular activities each family member has, we need to come up with a solution that will be able to make a meal everyday with the proper amount needed as well as a time that can fit everyone.
Solution
| Day | Who Cooks | What Recipe Cooked | Servings | Time Of Serve |
| Monday | Teen 1 | Beef and spinach Lasagna | 3/4 Servings | 7:00PM |
| Tuesday | Parent B | Fried Rice | 3/4 Servings | 6:40PM |
| Wednesday | Parent A | Black Bean Tacos | Full Serving | 6:00PM |
| Thursday | Teen 2, Parent B | Chicken Noodle Soup | Full Serving | 6:30PM |
| Friday | Parent A, Parent B, Teen 2 | Pepperoni Pizza | Medium | 6:00PM |
Fried Rice and Pepperoni Pizza recipes

8 dried shiitake mushrooms
3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 large eggs
4 scallions (white and green)
1/4 cup minced carrot
1 large clove garlic, minced
Pinch red chile flakes
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
3 cups cooked long-grain rice
1 cup cooked chicken
1/2 cup frozen peas

Justification
This meal plan will work well because it introduces 2 new meals that the family will enjoy, while also maintaining healthy choices in their diet. This plan also allows the family to stick to a budget and make the right amount of servings needed for their meals.

Collaboration Reflection
Our group communicated through in person class time, word documents, and emails for sharing information. Some of the technology we used was Google search engine to find recipes that can be added into our meal planning. We also used tools on edublog such as the table to create our meal planning table. Due to half of our group not being in person on 1 of our days and 1 away on another day, we had to distribute the work with everyone that was in person during our class time. The people that were away were sent emails to let them know what to do and this was a effective plan. My tasks that I did included creating the new meals and for the members away sending them emails on what to do. For evidence on what I did, once all 4 of our group members posted our blogs, each blog will have a different set of tasks displayed.
