* 2017-07-04 [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/mujaddara/ Mujaddara] a repeat, 4x and [https://www.loveandlemons.com/vegan-carrot-cake-macadamia-frosting/ vegan carrot cake with macadamia frosting] doubled. The Mujaddara, great again - and 4x was a HUGE amount, basically two pots worth, we had some left overs, and it tasted great, especially with the yogurt (I couldn't find vegan yogurt so we used the real stuff, with TRIPLE garlic, of course). The carrot cake itself was good, but the icing wasn't wonderful - though to be fair, I wasn't able to buy macadamia's, so I just doubled the amount of cashews, that might have had some effect. | |||
* 2017-06-20 [http://ohsheglows.com/2011/09/06/roasted-tomato-basil-pesto/ roasted tomato basil pesto pasta] 3x and [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/vegan-and-gluten-free-tomato-and-garlic-foccacia/ vegan tomato and garlic foccacia] also 3x. The pesto pasta was super popular and gone like immediately, would make again - we should have made more, or at least diluted it more (I only used 2 bags of pasta, but tripled the recipe - next time I'd just make 3!). The almonds especially add a perfect crunchy note. The foccacia, also amazing, would make again, though the recipe is more than a little confusing / problematic. In particular, it says to use a cup of water with the flaxseed, but the ingredients lists says to use only 6 Tbsp - the latter is correct, it doesn't work with a cup; it also helps to grind the flax a bit to open them up, to get the gel it mentions. The saran wrap step is also super annoying, but not sure how to fix it. And we had to add more flour, almost a half a cup more, to get a non-super-liquid dough - so next time I would reduce the amount of water with the yeast, 2 cups is too much for sure. Anyway, it was excellent! | * 2017-06-20 [http://ohsheglows.com/2011/09/06/roasted-tomato-basil-pesto/ roasted tomato basil pesto pasta] 3x and [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/vegan-and-gluten-free-tomato-and-garlic-foccacia/ vegan tomato and garlic foccacia] also 3x.

* 2017-06-13 [http://www.canadianliving.com/food/quick-and-easy/recipe/sweet-potato-falafel-burgers sweet potato falafel burgers] x3 and [http://cookieandkate.com/2016/simple-healthy-coleslaw-recipe/ simply healthy coleslaw] x a lot. The burgers were good but not great - they held together and tasted good, but didn't pop like a nice meat burger can. People still gobbled them down though, don't get me wrong! The coleslaw was amazing, would make again, it's so simple and so delicious, we used entire cabbages and served in rounds and it all got eaten in the end. | * 2017-06-13 [http://www.canadianliving.com/food/quick-and-easy/recipe/sweet-potato-falafel-burgers sweet potato falafel burgers] x3 and [http://cookieandkate.com/2016/simple-healthy-coleslaw-recipe/ simply healthy coleslaw] x a lot.
