Salt and Pepper About 2 tsp Lemon juice, fresh if you have it Olive oil Water 'Italian Seasoning' I.E. Parsley flakes, Oregano flakes, and thyme flakes 1 baking tray you think large enough to hold your noms A house that is about to smell amazing Directions: 1. Grease the pan with spray, butter, or whatever else you have that will keep the potatoes from sticking! Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. 2. Wash the potatoes and cut out any 'eyes' or tumors they have on them. Use a knife and cut them in half, and then cut those in half, and then continue doing that until the wedges are the size you like. 3. Place the wedges on the pan, don't worry if they don't all fit! Drizzle olive oil over each wedge, try and coat them in it. Then sprinkle the salt, pepper, Italian seasoning onto them and finish by squeezing the lemon juice on! 4. Put a little bit of water in the bottom of the pan to keep the wedges from drying out - don't pour it over the wedges themselves or you'll lose all that seasoning! 5. Place the pan in the oven and set a timer for 30 minutes. Once that timer goes off, take the wedges out and push them around a bit to prevent burning. Flip them over if you like and re-season the other side. Re-fill the pan with water and place back into the open for 30 more minutes. 6. Take the wedges out and enjoy the deliciousness! *I make this a LOT and so do my parents. They are amaziiiing. <strong>Potato... uh... bake thing of awesomeness </strong>(Made by my housemate) <img src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/p180x540/10003515_10152287561469500_8919889610437167790_n.jpg?oh=97d0b863691c1d47b2b0b28e8261c0bb&oe=548FA7BE&key=00b5b2822ffa39cbfa01508f04003a61703ac600adb65adf1359ea6711e8d34a" class="ipsImage" alt="10003515_10152287561469500_8919889610437" /> A bunch of thickly cut taters A bunch of bacon cut into bits Some cream Some milk Sliced spring onions Chopped up garlic 1-2 cloves One packet French Onion soup mix Hot water Slice taters into thickish slices and put half into a deep baking tray.

Ingredients 5 tbsp chocolate-hazelnut spread (aka Nutella) 3 tbsp plus 1 tsp canola oil, divided 3 tbsp butter, softened 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 2 medium ripe bananas 2 large eggs 6.75 oz all purpose flour 3/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 2/3 cup buttermilk 1/4 cup hazelnuts, chopped Instructions Preheat oven to 350F. In a small bowl, combine the Nutella and 1 tsp canola oil. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, or until melted. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the 3 tbsp oil, butter, packed brown sugar, and banana. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until well blended. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beating on low speed, add the flour to the wet ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or spray with nonstick baking spray. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Top with the Nutella/oil mixture. Add the remaining batter. Using the end of a wooden spoon, swirl the batter so that the nutella gets swirled in, but not so much that it loses it’s separation from the batter. Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the top. Bake for 55 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Remove from the pan and let cool completely. *This is seriously amazing. It's almost more cake-like bread, and it remains moist for days. <strong>Stuffed Italian Bread</strong> 1 Italian loaf, about 12 inches long 1 stick butter, melted 1/8 cup olive oil 3 tsp minced onion 2-3 cloves garlic, grated 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tbsp poppy seeds 3 tsp chopped parsley (add more if you wish) 12 oz grated cheese (use a mix of white cheddar and Monterrey jack.)(Or your choice) Preheat the oven to 350 F. Mix the melted butter, olive oil, onion, garlic, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds and parsley in a bowl. Cut the bread into cubes with X slices without cutting all the way through the bottom crust. Pour the butter-onion garlic mixture carefully into those X cracks using a small spoon and over the top of the bread. Fill those delicious cracks with the grated cheese. (It seems like a lot of work and trouble but it's all worth it. Yes.) Wrap the entire loaf with foil, sealing the sides properly and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and unwrap. Bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- <strong>Lemon Cakes </strong> Yes like the ones from Game of Thrones. 1/2 cup sugar plus additional for dusting Ramekins 2 eggs, separated 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose !our Pinch salt 2/3 cup buttermilk 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Finely chopped zest of 1 1/2 lemons Heat the oven to 300. Butter and lightly sugar 6 4-ounce ramekins. Beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks then set them aside. Sift the sugar with the flour and salt. In a mixer, using the whisk attachment, combine the buttermilk, lemon juice, egg yolks and lemon zest. Gradually add the !our mixture then fold in the egg whites. Divide the batter between the prepared ramekins. Place the ramekins in a water bath (set the ramekins in a larger pan; fill the pan with enough hot water to come half way up the ramekins) cover with aluminum foil. Bake until the cakes rise and are almost firm, about 25 minutes then uncover and continue baking until the tops are lightly golden and the cakes spring back when touched, about 15 minutes more. Unmold and serve. *I tried to halve this and something went really wrong, still tasted pretty good though! <strong>Lamingtons </strong>(Aussie traditional cake of deliciousness.) 190g unsalted butter, softened 1 cup (220g) caster sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla-bean paste (see note) or vanilla extract 3 eggs 2 1/3 cups (350g) self-raising flour, sifted 1 cup (250ml) milk 220g dark chocolate 1 cup (250ml) thickened cream 1 cup desiccated or shredded coconut Step 1 Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease and line a 20cm-square cake pan. Process butter and sugar in a processor for 2 minutes until light. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, pulsing after each until just combined. In 3 alternating batches, add flour and milk, pulsing to combine. Pour into pan and bake for 55-60 minutes until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes, then turn onto a rack to cool completely. Step 2 Meanwhile, stir chocolate, cream and remaining vanilla in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until smooth (don't let the bowl touch water). Chill for 20 minutes to thicken. Spread this icing over the cake, then sprinkle top and sides with coconut. *I grew up with my mother making these, I love a good lamington. <strong>Toblerone Cheesecake</strong> <img src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=https://m.ak.fbcdn.net/sphotos-h.ak/hphotos-ak-frc3/v/t1.0-9/p180x540/998647_10151994973449500_202933502_n.jpg?oh=df2033fe3f390aeadf6afd462fd014e1&oe=54949082&__gda__=1419768466_ab10e30bcd740c5d545f45410a97f1bf&key=e3ba666bc73162892aa903fab87b51055c10b33a693767f7e6c4b0b2b3b50b00" class="ipsImage" alt="998647_10151994973449500_202933502_n.jpg" /> Cheesecake Base: </p>
