This week we cooked apple strudel oatmeal. I was running a little late because the roads were bad on the way home from gym. When I got there my group put everything on the stove mixed the ingredients well and we were moving pretty fast. I don’t think we added enough cinnamon because the oatmeal was pretty plane. Although the oatmeal was well cooked and we make sure everything was safe by turning the handles in. when we added the yogurts it had a little better of taste. It was very easy to make and again our group worked very well together.

Oven Fries

Ingredients

3 3baking potatobaking potatoes, (unpeeled) 3/4 3/4tsp tsp(4 mL) (4 mL) chili powder 3/4 3/4tsp tsp(4 mL) (4 mL) paprika 1 1tbsp tbsp(15 mL) (15 mL) vegetable oil Salt

Preparation:

Place baking sheet in 450°F (230°C) oven for 5 minutes or until hot. Meanwhile, cut each potato lengthwise into 12 wedges; place in bowl and toss with chili powder and paprika. Sprinkle with oil; toss. Bake in single layer on baking sheet for 15 minutes; turn and bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

The fries we made this week were not the best. We did not put them in long enough and the fries ended up not being that crispy and crunch. Instead they were very soft and tasted more like a raw potato. The chips on the other hand were a lot better; they were very crispy and cooked great. I think we needed to add more seasoning to our fries. Although the taste was bad out group did a great job working together that made it fun to be in the kitchen. We forgot to put the oil on the fries. I think we will learn for this and make sure we do everything more proper and make sure we don’t forget anything.

Puffed Wheat Cake

5 c. puffed wheat
3/4 c. brown or white sugar
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. corn syrup
4 tbsp. cocoa

Combine in a saucepan and bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Boil for 3 minutes. Pour over puffed wheat and stir with spoon to coat the puffed wheat. Transfer to buttered 9 x 9 inch baking pan and press mixture evenly into pan.

The directions were very clear and the ingredients were small. Each member of our group did their job well and everything went smoothly. The food we made was very good; don’t think we could have done anything different. Our group was missing one member so we had to do a little more work but that’s ok. The one thing would have changed was to make more!
