Reflow Soldering at home
As others have said, don't use an oven that you put your food in!!  Lead poisoning is no joke.

If you are looking for the easiest and cheapest way to do reflow soldering at home, I recommend getting a cheap hot air gun with adjustable airspeed and temperature control.  They can be had on amazon for less than $50, and allow you to repair existing boards as well as reflow new ones.

When applying the solder paste for this package, a single thin bead vertically across all of the pads should be fine.  Once you heat things up, the solder will flow to the pads and shape up nicely.  If you apply too much solder, bridges will form between the pads; you can clean those up with a soldering iron and some solder wick.
