Greek Style Potatoes - 5 points
Trying to recreate a potato found at my favorite Greek restaurants. The result was pretty close!
What you need:
6 medium potatoes, peeled and quarted (or in my case, 4 large potatoes)
2 cups chicken stock
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon
rosemary, thyme, oregano
salt and pepper
What to do:
1. Boil potatoes in chicken stock, with 2 cloves of garlic, until nearly cooked through.
2. Transfer potatoes and garlic to a baking dish, with about 1/4 cup of stock that the potatoes were cooked in. Add one more clove of minced garlic.
3. Add olive oil and the juice of one lemon.
4. Add herbs and salt and pepper.
5. Bake in oven at 350 Celsius for approximately 30 minutes, until cooked, stirring once or twice while cooking. Serve and enjoy! :)

Slow Roasted Lamb - 5 points
I've never made lamb before, but with Easter coming up in a couple weeks, and having seen an episode of Barefoot Contessa, where she mades this roasted lamb, I felt inspired! It turned out so good, so it will definitely be on the menu for Easter!
What you need:
Leg of lamb
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Fresh rosemary
Fresh thyme
6 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup white wine
What to do:
1. Rub the lamb with a couple tablespoons of olive oil, and some salt and pepper.
3. Once the lamb is seared, remove from heat and add the wine (everything is better with wine, right?!.
4. Add garlic and 4-5 sprigs of thyme and rosemary to the pot, and its ready for the oven!
5. Cook for 3-4 hours at 300 Celsius. Its ready to come out when you can pull it apart with a fork. Enjoy!
