Miranda's Favorite Greek potatoes (oven roasted)

Ingredients
8 large potatoes, peeled, cut into large wedges (about 6-7 wedges per potato)
4 garlic cloves, minced (more garlic is a good thing, less garlic is a no-no for this recipe)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup water
1 tablespoon oregano (get the Mediterranean, it's the best!)
1 to 1 1/2 lemon, juice of
sea salt
fresh coarse ground black pepper
Directions
1Preheat oven to 440°F.
2Put all the ingredients into a baking pan large enough to hold them.
3Season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
4Make sure your hands are very clean and put them in the pan and give everything a toss to distribute.
5The garlic will drop into the water/oil solution but its flavour will permeate the potatoes, and this way, it won't burn.
6Bake for 40 minutes.
7When a nice golden-brown crust has formed on the potatoes, give them a stir to bring the white underside up, season lightly with a bit more sea salt and pepper and just a light sprinkling of oregano.
8Add 1/2 cup more water if pan appears to be getting dry, and pop back into oven to brown other side of potatoes.
9This will take about another 40 minutes.
10Do not be afraid of overcooking the potatoes- they will be delicious.
11Note: I often melt a bouillon cube in the water; if you do, make sure to cut back some on the salt.

Julie's Tomato Sauce Recipe (Bolognese)







Ingredients
1 large onion - diced
2 cloves garlic - minced
1/2 lb package lean ground beef (or just ground beef)
2 cans crushed tomatos (I like Unico, but any branch will do)
2 tbspoons dry basil - or 4-5 fresh leaves chopped up
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

In a large stock pot brown beef in about 2 tablespoons oil (medium-high heat). Add chopped onion. Cook 3-5 minutes until onions become translucent. Add garlic, cook another 2-3 minutes. Add canned tomatos, salt, pepper, oregano and basil. When it comes to a boil, turn it down to medium -low and simmer for one hour. You are done! Recipe will make enough sauce for multiple meals. Freeze what you don't use in individual or 2 cup tupperware containers. Defrost and heat up for quick meals! Pasta only takes 10 minutes to cook. So this is a super fast dinner when you come home from work tired and grumpy!

Tonya's Intro




Hello yall, my name is Tonya Bishop. I am a strong proud aboriginal woman from the nations of the Suex, Cree, and Ojibwae heritage. I was born of Quepell Valley, Prince Albert Sask. Im 21 years of age, and have been on my own since the age of 13. To eat is to enjoy life. To take pride in your own art weather it be music, drawing,writting or cooking is key to been a succesor and inspired artist.For myself in my family to eat drink and be marry has always been what ties us all together. From my great Kukom, to Kukom to mother they have always been the Queens in the kitchen. And meals fit for royality is exactly what they have always presented. I myself am to carry on tradition , and wouldnt see it any other way. I am currently enrolled in at Kla-how-eya Culinary Arts Classic Cuisine. And am working and determined to obtaining my full Red Seal certifacation.My dream and wish is to one day be owner and open my very own classic cafe. which is inspired from my mother who dreams of having her own haven, designed in such a way that would make you feel like your comfortably sitting at your grandmothers home reading and sipping on your tea, while indulging in dangerously delicious desserts. Which in turn i would hand over to my mother so that she may retire never having to worry about financial disaster for ever more. To take care of the ones who brought me into this world is the only way i see fit to return the favor.So aside from my appatite of Cuisine, i like long walks on the beach, and the wind blowing in my hair,...lol just jokes.... native humor.Thanks for taking time to read a lil about moi. xxooxxoo


My Favorite Dish.. By:Patience Daniels











INDIAN TACOS





What you will need:
- 1 1b hamburger
- 1 large onion minced
- 2 small cans tomato paste
- 1 big can tomatoes
- 1 tsp basil
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- salt, pepper, Chile powder to taste


Topping:
- 1 head iceberg lettuce shredded
- 1/2 lb cheese grated coarse
On the counter:
- bowl of fine-chopped onion
- bowl of mild green Chile's chopped up fine

Fry onion and hamburger broken up loose. Sprinkle some salt and Chile powder over it. Add tomato paste and 4 cans of water and the canned tomatoes and their juice -- break up tomatoes and stir it around. Taste for seasoning. Simmer till meat and onions are done and sauce is thick, 30 - 40 minutes. Assembling: put the flat fry bread on a paper plate and spread sauce over it (don't be stingy). Put a handful of cheese on it and top with a handful of shredded lettuce. People add their own choices of chopped raw onion, Chile's (and maybe some other favorites) from the bowls. In some areas, the culture favors the addition of hot Chile's to this sauce (not in ours).

Well First of All!!! My real name is Rennie A Morrison. Got my nickname from Wine Testing from Rocky Mountain Station and whoa that was a fun night but anyways I wasn't born and raised in the city. I'm more of a small town person. Even though my motto was work before school but I've manage to get a good paying job still well actually it was "Get-R-Done" was my motto. Working like a dog at age 16 in construction until today I'm going for Kla-How-Eya Culinary Arts. I'm a easy-going person and don't care on what you think of me but I do care on what you think of my work. For some reason work is just part of my passion, I'm entire whole different person during work. Oh yeah! video games are hell of a fun time to enjoy when you're bored. Music! who could forget about MUSIC!!

This is a little bit about me,


I was born in Edmonton Alberta.I am engaged to a wonderful man named Don, whom I love very much. My age is 23 years young. I am inspired to continuously learn because of my son, Jorell, who will be 4 years old on Nov. 18 (so exciting!!!). I'm currently in the kla how eya culinary arts program and I am having a blast! having met the students in my class I find I am considering them like a second family, as with the teachers (Chefs), I can feel comfortable there and its interesting meeting new people there all the time. That is all I really need to say for now. Thank you.
