* 2016-06-14 [http://minimalistbaker.com/vegan-roasted-red-pepper-pasta-gf/ Roaster Red Pepper Pasta] 4x and [http://cookieandkate.com/2015/vegan-lentil-soup-recipe/ Spicy Lentil Soup] (a repeat) 4x. The red pepper pasta was surprisingly good, would make again. Rich and creamy and nutty. The soup was always was excellent. We also had garlic bread. Some left-over soup because it was a slow night - still only a few servings, but didn't have any thing to put it in since they are all still full from last week! | |||
* 2016-06-07 [https://foodforhealth.kaiserpermanente.org/recipes/vegetarian-sweet-potato-chili/ vegetarian sweet potato chili] 4x with [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3238/spicy-indian-rice spicy indian rice] and [http://www.veganricha.com/2015/08/carrot-zucchini-chickpea-fritters-vegan-recipe.html carrot zucchini chickpea fritters] plus a "broccoli surprise" by Matt. The chili was HUGE, 4x actually made two big pots, not one. It was also well below average, kind of plain and sweet in a bad way (we think it was the creamed corn); we extensively altered it at the end (more garlic, some fermented bean paste, and huge amounts of lemon juice) and that made it OK. We have a lot left over (10+ servings). The rice dish was amazing, would make again - though we just used enough water, not the overdose they call for, and forgot the peanuts. The fritters are also yummi, less spicy than I expected, really good with a bit of sriracha. Matt's Broccoli Surprise was also great, it used the same fermented bean paste, called "doubanjiang", and some tofu & garlic, all roasted in various stages, simple and delicious. | * 2016-06-07 [https://foodforhealth.kaiserpermanente.org/recipes/vegetarian-sweet-potato-chili/ vegetarian sweet potato chili] 4x with [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3238/spicy-indian-rice spicy indian rice] and [http://www.veganricha.com/2015/08/carrot-zucchini-chickpea-fritters-vegan-recipe.html carrot zucchini chickpea fritters] plus a "broccoli surprise" by Matt.

* 2016-06-01 [http://yupitsvegan.com/2015/04/25/general-tsos-chickpeas/ General Tso's Chickpeas] a repeat, 4x and a curry by Pari, both with [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/garlic-cilantro-lime-rice-recipe.html garlic cilantro line rice] 2x, and for dessert: [http://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/2015/07/05/vegan-meringue-cookies/ Vegan Meringue Cookies]. The General Tso, awesome as usual. Pari's curry (with potatoes, onions, tomatoes, cilantro and coconut milk) was great too. The lime rice, *great*, but also quite subtle - was a little overpowered by the two dishes tonight, I would do it again, but pair it with something a little less intense, like maybe a thai curry or something. The dessert, using "aquafaba" (bean water, literally the water from a can of chickpeas, usually wasted!) was incredible!!! Going to make again for sure. I can't believe how well it worked, and how easy it was too with the stand mixer :-) | * 2016-06-01 [http://yupitsvegan.com/2015/04/25/general-tsos-chickpeas/ General Tso's Chickpeas] a repeat, 4x and a curry by Pari, both with [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/garlic-cilantro-lime-rice-recipe.html garlic cilantro line rice] 2x, and for dessert: [http://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/2015/07/05/vegan-meringue-cookies/ Vegan Meringue Cookies].
