Jam drops

In Home Ec, we made Jam drops. We made these because we are looking at culture and how it shaped our food we eat today. The Jam Drops are from England brought over by the british settlers. We used self raising flour, which the settlers wouldn't  have because they wouldn't have baking powder, they would of had to use something else.

Carrot Cake Cupcakes

In Home Economics last week we made carrot cake cupcakes. We worked well as a team. We made these because they had a secret veggie hidden in them *carrot* so it was kinda healthy. There still was a lot of sugar.😉.Due to Budget and timing we could not put Cream cheese Icing on them, so instead we simply added icing sugar. We used a simple recipe of:

Cakes
- Flour
- White sugar
- Salt
- Carrots
- Cinnamon
- B.soda
- B. powder
- Oil
- Egg

Icing
- Cream Cheese (Softened)
- Icing sugar
- Lemon juice

spaghetti and meatballs

in cooking last week we made spaghetti and meatballs. We had a pre-made sauce, that saved a lot of time. We made the meatball by mixing together

• meat
• garlic
• onion
• herbs and spice
• bread
• egg

We cooked the meatballs in the oven to make it easier, and after heating up the sauce we added the meatballs and let it simmer. after the pasta was cooked we dished it into our bowls and added cheese. It was very yummy, and fulling. I think my team work well and we were finished on time. At leased the cooking part, the dishes were not done on time. 

Chicken stir fry

In Home Economics last week wee made chicken stir fry. It was very yummy. We had to zulien the veggies (I don't know how to spell that)

the ingredients we used were

• Chicken 
• Sesame oil 
• Veg selection (Carrot, Onion, cappsicum, broccoli, spinach, maybe peas and corn,)
• 2 minute noodles  

I did the cooking and others did the prep. I think we work well as a group. Next time, maybe we could read the packit, and cut the chicken thinner. All in all I think it was a good lesson.
