* 2016-10-11 For Thanksgiving: [http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes/butternut-squash-with-whole-wheat-wild-rice-onion-stuffing/ Butternut Squash With Whole Wheat, Wild Rice, & Onion Stuffing] 2x and [http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes/glorious-grains/quinoa/red-quinoa-pilaf-with-kale-and-corn/ Red Quinoa Pilaf with Kale and Corn] 2x and [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/vegan-roasted-garlic-mashed-potatoes.html Vegan Roasted-Garlic Mashed Potatoes] 3x with [http://minimalistbaker.com/deep-dish-apple-crumble-pie/ deep dish apple crumble pie] and [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/12682/apple-pie-by-grandma-ople/ apple pie by grandma ople] (a repeat) for dessert.  The squash was good, not great, but very hard to make (scooping half cooked squash while it's hot?  Are they insane?), and took forever, I would not make it again.  Also, we couldn't even FIND wild rice, so we subbed some awesome black rice that we found.  The pilaf was excellent and much easier to make; 2x made less than half a pot so if I do make it again I'd scale it up more than that - 5x would probably fill the pot.  Both pies were good and lasted about 3 minutes :-).  The mashed potatoes we served because you can't have thanksgiving without mashed potatoes, but actually we didn't roast the garlic, just put it in with the potatoes while boiling, which was not as good for sure.  Next time I'd do it proper...
* 2016-10-04 [https://knowledge.hacklab.to/wiki/EwansSoups Ewans Carrot Soup] (a repeat) 2x and [http://www.veggieinspiredjourney.com/butternut-mac/ Butternut Mac] 2x and garlic bread.  Both good, though we had to adulterate the carrot soup quite a bit - not sure why it wasn't as good straight up as last time.  10 lbs bag of carrots was $2, so this was a super cheap recipe!  The Butternut Mac was easy and flavorful, but missing something, I just have no idea what - not quite as creamy as real cheese, but that wasn't the problem.

* 2016-09-27 [http://www.food.com/recipe/butternut-squash-and-roasted-red-pepper-soup-131936 Butternut Squash and Roasted Red Pepper Soup] 3x and [http://holycowvegan.net/2015/06/golden-roasted-curry-mustard-potatoes.html Golden Roasted Curry Mustard Potatoes] 2x, with garlic bread for the soup.  Both dishes were *excellent*, would make again.  The soup, should have made 4x, it would have fit, and we needed the extra - all the food gone today at 8:15!  The potatoes, 2x already filled all four trays in the oven, so not really possible to make more easily.  The potatoes, we used way more mustard than they called for - perhaps double, otherwise as in recipe.  The soup, we fried the onions and added garlic too, I can't imagine why the recipe doesn't fry the onions!
