* 2016-07-19 [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/gazpacho-recipe.html Gazpacho] a repeat, 4x and [http://www.hotforfoodblog.com/recipes/2014/2/11/cauliflower-buffalo-wings Cauliflower Buffalo Wings], 3x. The wings were amazing, would make again, in fact I think it's a new favorite! Thanks to Matt for the recipe. The franks hot sauce ones are better than the vinegar ones. The ranch dip recipe on the same link is also amazing. We could have used WAY more than 3x, but didn't really have oven space for more anyway... The gazpacho was also delicious as always, really does benefit from extra time to sit - totally worth making it an hour or more early. We also made [http://hellyeahitsvegan.com/vegan-banana-bread/ vegan banana bread], but like last time, it came out more like a pudding. Still tastes delicious, but you need a spoon to eat it... | |||
* 2016-07-12 [http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/vietnamese-bun-cha-with-sticky-spicy-tofu/#6arghEmW1aFbpOeM.97 Vietnamese bun cha with sticky spicy tofu] a repeat, 3x and [http://www.themediterraneandish.com/vegetarian-stuffed-cabbage-rolls/ vegetarian stuffed cabbage rolls] 2x. The bun-cha was excellent, as before, though somehow I ended up putting all the dressing on the pasta and none on the salad - the recipe isn't clear about where the dressing actually goes, and the pasta needed it... I did follow the instructions below re pressing the tofu, helped a LOT, but also should have recommended making WAY MORE than the recipe calls for - with recipe quantities, everyone only gets like 4 1-inch cubes, which isn't very much compared to the pasta or salad. Maybe double the tofu next time? The cabbage rolls, we added sauerkraut and Pari basically winged it, and it ended up way too strong on the herbs - especially the parsley, and too much pepper (spice) overall. Still good but a lot of work, I think next time I'd try a recipe which had more stuffing (e.g. potato or whatever). | * 2016-07-12 [http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/vietnamese-bun-cha-with-sticky-spicy-tofu/#6arghEmW1aFbpOeM.97 Vietnamese bun cha with sticky spicy tofu] a repeat, 3x and [http://www.themediterraneandish.com/vegetarian-stuffed-cabbage-rolls/ vegetarian stuffed cabbage rolls] 2x.

* 2016-07-05 [http://www.ilovevegan.com/cheesy-vegan-potato-broccoli-casserole/ Cheesy Vegan Potato & Broccoli Casserole] 4x and [http://www.tablefortwoblog.com/zucchini-noodle-cashew-stir-fry/ Zucchini Noodle Cashew Stir Fry] 3x with a watermelon jello for desert. The casserole was subtle but excellent and pretty easy to make (thanks to food processor) - would make again. Does take a long time in the oven though. The stir fry, we don't have a spiralizer so it wasn't really "noodle" but it was really good - the sauce was great. A lot of chopping but otherwise super fast. Roberta's watermelon jello (using agar agar) was amazing! | * 2016-07-05 [http://www.ilovevegan.com/cheesy-vegan-potato-broccoli-casserole/ Cheesy Vegan Potato & Broccoli Casserole] 4x and [http://www.tablefortwoblog.com/zucchini-noodle-cashew-stir-fry/ Zucchini Noodle Cashew Stir Fry] 3x with a watermelon jello for desert.
