* 2016-06-21 [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/vegan-makhani/ Vegan "Butter" "Chicken"] 4x and [http://damndelicious.net/2014/10/04/roasted-vegetables/ Roasted Veggies] 2x with [http://www.cearaskitchen.com/indian-saffron-yellow-rice-pilaf-vegan-glutenfree/ Saffron Yellow Rice Pilaf] 3x.  The butter chicken was good but not great - Pari spent ages trying to fix it, but I thought it was fine.  It wasn't as big as I thought it would be - only about half the pot for 4x.  The rice was *awesome*, would make again, though really I don't think the saffron made much difference.  The veggies were good, but no thanks to the recipe, you could have roasted them in olive oil for all the difference the recipe made.  No leftovers, food was gone at about 9pm - though interestingly, we also ran out of bowls, we're somehow down a bunch, we need to buy more.
* 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.
