Banana Boats

1 serving	4 servings
Large banana 2 tsp chocolate chips 2 tsp granola 1 tbsp miniature marshmallows	4 large unpeeled bananas 8 tsp chocolate chips 8 tsp granola ¼ cup miniature marshmallows

Place each banana on a 20 cm square of foil; crimp and shape foil around bananas so they sit flat.  Cut each banana lengthwise about 2 cm deep, leaving 2 cm uncut at both ends.  Gently pull each banana peel open, forming a pocket.  Fill pockets with chocolate chips, granola and marshmallows.

Oven – preheat oven to 325 F. Bake bananas in oven for 5-7 minutes or until marshmallows are melted and golden brown.

Barbeque – Place the banana boats on the grill and close the lid. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until marshmallows are melted and golden brown.

Campfire – Place grill over hot coals (NOT over a flame). Grill bananas for 5-7 minutes or until marshmallows are melted and golden brown.

Review: What went well? Well.... we did do a very good job of making them look tasty and we had a nice presentation of them to Ms. Gelowitz and we did a nice job of working by our selves for the first time in the class room so we will be able to do well in the future as a group and as independent people

What didn't go well? we had lousy conversations about who's turn it was and we were bickering and uncooperative when one of us asked for help so we will for sure work on that in the future. I would also like to add the other kitchens, we were constantly leaving our kitchen unattended and looking at our oven once every couple of minutes. That will be a huge problem in the future if we do not deal with it now.

What will I do differently? I will make sure that my kitchen is attended to at all times when we are cooking because that is a big safety issue and i will check on my food more just to make sure that is not burnt and looking good. 

What did I learned from this experience? I learned that you must follow recipies, make sure that your food is looking good, don't leave your kitchen until you are done using it and always clean up all the dishes and all of the counter tops to make sure that you have a clean surface to make sure that everyone has a clean and safe surface to cook on.
