* 2018-06-19 [https://veganyackattack.com/2013/09/03/smoky-mac-stuffed-sweet-potatoes/ smoky mac-stuffed sweet potatoes] 5x (for a quiet night), this dish was incredible, one of the most delicious things we've made in months, several people suggested that we add it to favorites immediately, but I am going to hold off at least until we make it one more time, you never know what's a fluke and what's just awesome from one try! We also had 5-spice hackbread from the bread maker, and a guest helped us make these awesome toasted-oatmeal balls for dessert (basically combine toasted oatmeal with something sticky, like chocolate or nut butter, add a few nuts, and roll into balls, drizzle more chocolate on top... amazing) | |||
* 2018-06-12 [https://yupitsvegan.com/general-tsos-chickpeas/ general tso's chickpeas], a repeat, 4x and [http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/veronicas-easy-spanish-rice-37638#activity-feed spanish rice], a repeat, 4x. Plus an attempt at [https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/vegan-meringue-cookies/ vegan meringue cookies], and then a franken-version of [https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/ultimate-chocolate-chip-cookies/77c14e03-d8b0-4844-846d-f19304f61c57 ultimate chocolate chip cookies]. The chickpeas, awesome as always. Really, I'm adding it to favorites. The spanish rice, a more-true attempt this time, we really did attempt to brown the rice and onions, and it turned out OK. I cut the salt by half, but I think that was a mistake, it could have used more salt. Anyway, mediocre, I don't think I'd make it again, though it is unusual. The meringue, we have no idea why, but it basically wouldn't foam/beat. After 10 minutes in the stand mixer, still mostly liquid with a layer of foam. We tried adding more cream of tartar and even some corn starch, but no dice. I think maybe the aquafaba was weird, it wasn't as clear as I remember it being the time it worked (more cloudy, more yellow, perhaps the cans were older?). Anyway then we used the remains of that as an egg substitute in the chocolate chip cookies, which I also didn't work, since they made pancake cookies (lack of binder there too). | * 2018-06-12 [https://yupitsvegan.com/general-tsos-chickpeas/ general tso's chickpeas], a repeat, 4x and [http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/veronicas-easy-spanish-rice-37638#activity-feed spanish rice], a repeat, 4x.

* 2018-06-05 [http://www.ilovevegan.com/easy-1-hour-vegan-chili/ 1-hour vegan chili] 3x with hackbread and garlic bread. Plus [https://lovingitvegan.com/simple-vegan-oatmeal-cookies/ vegan oatmeal cookies]. The chili, pretty good, we added extra cumin, a bit of smoked paprika, and extra oregano, plus some lemon juice. The cookies, we lacked butter and eggs, thus this choice, but they are amazing, some of the best oatmeal cookies I've made (I added raisins, and used chocolate milk for the 1tbsp soy milk, otherwise as written). | * 2018-06-05 [http://www.ilovevegan.com/easy-1-hour-vegan-chili/ 1-hour vegan chili] 3x with hackbread and garlic bread.
