* 2017-05-31 [https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2835667/jerk-sweet-potato-and-black-bean-curry jerk sweet potato and black bean curry] a favourite repeat 2x, [https://cooklikeajamaican.com/rice-and-peas/ rice and peas] 3x. Plus [https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/ultimate-chocolate-chip-cookies/77c14e03-d8b0-4844-846d-f19304f61c57 ultimate chocolate chip cookies] 2x for dessert (made 77!). The black bean dish, may be the best version of it we've ever made, it was amazing. The rice and peas, is actually rice and beans, it's recommended in the black bean recipe as a companion dish, and it was good for that, but it wasn't anything to write home about on it's own (needed more salt at the very least). The cookies were amazing warm, but I think would be a bit crumbly and dry if any were actually left long enough to stop being warm... still super delicious, would make and consume again! | |||
* 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. | * 2017-05-23 [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.

* 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.
