Thanks, Jake -- I've bookmarked the site for reference.

I know the "requirements" are daunting -- that's exactly my problem. I
have plenty of nutritious snacks that don't really involved any cooking
per se, and I have plenty of cooking projects that meet all of the
requirements except for being nutritious. We use both sets of recipes,
but I don't want to encourage the idea that the only kind of fun
cooking is preparing unhealthy foods or desserts.

Hopefully, by second quarter I'll have figured out the baking/oven
problem. Having the equipment isn't necessarily something I can
control -- I can't exactly order an oven and stove installed in my room
or my building :-)

Thanks for the site!

Alexis.
