This type of food which is corn pancakes can be eaten as breakfast, lunch or as dinner. Which means it can be eaten at any time of the day.

It is light which can serves as breakfast. It has carbohydrates content which gives energy for the day so it makes it good as lunch while for dinner it is also a light meal which can come as night for dinner.

Of the 6 classes worked on in this course, which was your favorite?

My favorite was week 5 which was on salads. That course opened my eyes to see that there eating healthy doesn't cost so much.

It showed me varieties of salads I can enjoy and make them myself..I have always thought of a particular kind of meal as salad but this class of week 5 taught me that there are things that could serve as salad other than what I originally knew.

I enjoyed every part of the class and I made my salad which was very impressive.

What topics would you like us to cover in upcoming healthy cooking classes?

I would like topics such eating habits to be taught, like best times to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner. What meals are best for gaining weight and losing weight.

This will help many of us who wants to keep fit through the kinds of food we eat. Thank you for the class so far.
