Introduction

Inside this recipe book, youll find recipes in both scientific and plain
language. Some of the different recipes you can find in this book are: Shepherds
Pie, Hobo Stew, Peach Cobbler, Spaghetti, and more.

These recipes were either gathered or created for our project, Chopped
Chemistry. The goal of this project was to find or create healthy, tasty and cost
effective recipes for people relying on Love INC to use. This project lasted for
several weeks and took a lot of hard work from our team to complete.

Some of the recipes also had to comply with certain diabetic stipulations,
which are indicated in the book with a gold star by their name. Several of these
recipes can also be made for under $20. These recipes are indicated in the book
with a silver star.

In the end though, we all hope that our hard work payed off and that youll
be able to dish out and enjoy our recipes with ease.
Bon apptit!

3. If meat is not available: marinate beans in Worcestershire sauce.
4. Divide the aluminum foil into four foot-long strips and spray with cooking spray if desired.
Each person can pack on whatever amount of veggies and meat they'd like, but each layer
should be salted lightly.

on the grill). Cook for roughly 15 minutes if using beans, and 15 minutes to a half an hour
until the meat is cooked through and the veggies are tender. Cooking times will vary with the
method you use and the size of your food chunks.
