Challah
Vienna
Single, double and figure eight knot buns.
Some bread that I made in baking class: challah, vienna bread, and single, double and figure eight knot buns. We've also made white and whole wheat pan bread, sweet rolls, baguettes, tea biscuits, jam and raisin scones, banana bread, blueberry muffins, lemon poppy seed muffins, and pound cake (wow I hadn't realized how much we've done already). I haven't been keeping up with picture taking because a lot of it goes straight to the food bank because it's entirely too many baked goods for one human.
Lemon Meringue Pie I thought this was going to be super easy,...
I thought this was going to be super easy, like making Jello or something. It is not like making Jello. There are many different steps of baking, cooling, heating, whipping, etc. that need to be well coordinated. Don't start this at 11pm like I did.
- I used about 2 tbsp more lemon juice in the filling because I didn't have a fresh lemon for lemon rind.
- I used a bit of lemon juice in the meringue because I didn't have cream of tartar (and it's the acid that's required).
- It took about 1 minute to brown the meringue not 5 to 6 like the recipe says, I caught it just in time!
As you can see from the picture, I didn't get nice slices. I don't know why but it just instantly lost its shape. It tasted nice but that didn't prevent me from being embarrassed about presenting it at my boyfriend's family's Easter dinner…

I made this as part of a weekend cleanse and it was really tasty on it's own, and I've used it to make rice and as a base for celery potato soup.
I filled the water up more after taking the picture because you won't get any flavor or nutrients from vegetables that aren't submerged.

Healthy Strawberry-Banana Wrap
A healthier addendum to my original strawberry wrap, this version uses yogurt instead of cream cheese and skips the whole being-fried-in-oil thing.
What's the point of the tortilla you may ask? Well, even though yogurt, fruit and granola/nuts is a great breakfast, you might get tired of spooning cold, wet foods into your mouth all the time - which is where the tortilla comes in! It masks the healthiness, gives you something to actually chew on, and provides more carbs for fueling your brain.

I used this frosting because I didn't have the ingredients for Anna Olson's frosting. I cut both recipes in half to make a one layer cake to avoid over-indulging.

Fried Plantains
Plantains are larger, firmer and less sweet than bananas so they are perfect for cooking and adding flavourings.
- Cut the plantains horizontally into 1cm think slices, exposing as much surface area as possible.
- Dredge them in a mixture of mostly graham cracker crumbs with a little white or brown sugar (the sugar will help with browning and carmelization).
- Cover the bottom of a large frying pan with canola oil and start on medium heat.
- Test if the pan is hot enough by flicking a few drops of water on it - only start frying when the water sizzles.
- Turn the slices over when they've browned (keep checking - my pan had random hot spots).
- Replenish the oil is if it about to run out or else the slices will start to burn.
- When a slice is done frying, place it on paper towel or a cooling rack to drain of excess oil.
- Serve hot with a drizzle of honey and vanilla ice cream (less or no honey if the plantain was very ripe, more if it wasn't).

Feta and Tomato Spaghetti Squash
The squash wasn't cooked after 30 minutes and this tutorial was really helpful in understanding why and what to do next. Despite following the better tutorial, the resulting dish was way too watery (from the squash). If I were to use spaghetti squash again I would do a lot more reading beforehand on how to cook it properly. The flavor of the dish was good though.

I used water instead of coffee because I don't make coffee at home.
I didn't ice them because I don't really like powdered sugar covered things and they're definitely sweet enough without it (even though it looks prettier with).
These are perfect for when you have a chocolate craving but don't want to wait for something to bake and cool. (Though these do have a better texture after firming up in the fridge).
