* 2017-05-23 [http://cookieandkate.com/2014/spicy-roasted-ratatouille-with-spaghetti/ spicy roasted ratatouille with spaghetti] a repeat 4x with garlic bread and [https://www.countrysidecravings.com/homemade-chewy-brownies/ chewy brownies] doubled. The ratatouille was good, not great - I made a special tomatoe sauce extra since the previous attempt said it would benefit from it, but it wasn't enough. 4x is also a lot for the oven - I did two batches of 4 trays each and still had an extra tray to do later with the garlic bread. Anyway, it was good, but I don't think I'd make it again - and we were short food since I only made the one big dish this time. The brownies were great. | |||
* 2017-05-16 [https://www.thespruce.com/vegetarian-gluten-free-thai-green-curry-3217743 thai green curry] 8x and [http://holycowvegan.net/golden-roasted-curry-mustard-potatoes/ roasted curry mustard potatoes] a repeat 2x with [https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-vegan-fried-rice/ vegan fried rice] 4x. The curry was great, though we were pretty far off recipe, almost all different veggies, no potatoes, and probably double the curry paste (made it super super spicy!!). The potatoes, good again, though not great - I remember them being sweeter last time, maybe we used sweet potatoes or something? Still yummi of course! The vegan fried rice, I actually was looking at recipes for pineapple fried rice, and thought this was one of them - so much so that I bought a pineapple even though it wasn't on the ingredients list. Anyway, worked out great, this is a good recipe, very tasty and 4x actually made more than one pot's worth! Though I have to say, the tofu prep was bizarre - baking them, then a marinade, then frying them too? And in the end I didn't think for all that effort that the tofu was anything to write home about - pretty much unnoticeable itself in the mix, though of course it's marinade sauce was fundamental to the taste. So I wouldn't do the tofu that way again. | * 2017-05-16 [https://www.thespruce.com/vegetarian-gluten-free-thai-green-curry-3217743 thai green curry] 8x and [http://holycowvegan.net/golden-roasted-curry-mustard-potatoes/ roasted curry mustard potatoes] a repeat 2x with [https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-vegan-fried-rice/ vegan fried rice] 4x.

* 2017-05-09 [http://www.yummly.co/recipe/New-Potato-Rendang-_-Green-Beans-514450 Potato Rendang w/ Green Beans] a repeat 8x and [http://www.eatgood4life.com/caribbean-rice-beans/ Caribbean Rice Beans] 2x and [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/21461/ooey-gooey-cinnamon-buns/ ooey-gooey cinnamon buns] (without nuts) with [http://www.food.com/recipe/white-glaze-icing-for-pastries-cinnamon-rolls-and-danishes-454978 white icing]. The rendang, good, and huge - it actually didn't fit in one pot, it was more like 1.5 pots total. The rice, super easy to make and yummi, but I think not quite good enough to recommend. The cinammon buns, absolutely incredible, best baked dish of the season! Will totally be making them again, even though they take 3 hours! I also want to try a vegan version of them though, since that was the inspiration for making them, and I know it can be as good. Also, we made it in metal bread dishes, which caused them to "explode upwards" a little bit, I think next time we should try the glass baking dishes, even though they have curved bottoms. | * 2017-05-09 [http://www.yummly.co/recipe/New-Potato-Rendang-_-Green-Beans-514450 Potato Rendang w/ Green Beans] a repeat 8x and [http://www.eatgood4life.com/caribbean-rice-beans/ Caribbean Rice Beans] 2x and [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/21461/ooey-gooey-cinnamon-buns/ ooey-gooey cinnamon buns] (without nuts) with [http://www.food.com/recipe/white-glaze-icing-for-pastries-cinnamon-rolls-and-danishes-454978 white icing].
