* 2016-10-25 [http://ohsheglows.com/2014/02/05/my-favourite-vegan-chili-with-homemade-sour-cream/ my favorite vegan chili] a repeat, 3x and [http://www.peacefuldumpling.com/vegan-sweet-potato-leek-soup sweet potato leek soup] 3x and garlic-rosemary bread, as usual.  The chili was great, nice level of spice, but just not quite good enough to recommend doing again.  The soup is amazing, super rich and tasty, would make again.  Our new immersion blender is super awesome, did this down with a lot less trouble than the regular blender would have been. 
* 2016-10-18 [http://www.theinventivevegetarian.com/pumpkin-mac-and-cheese/ pumpkin mac and cheese] 3x and [http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/spicy-coconut-noodles spicy coconut noodles] 4x and [http://hellyeahitsvegan.com/vegan-pumpkin-bread/ vegan pumpkin bread] 2x.  The mac and cheese was hearty and good, also HUGE, 3x made the 2 13x9 dishes and 2 of the 9x9, all quite deep.  The coconut noodles were excellent, would make again.  The bread, I made 3 subs, the most important was oats instead of the whole-wheat flour, then also sunflower seeds and cashews instead of walnuts.  Given that, it was delicious and perfect texture, best bread I've ever made here actually, obviously would make again, though it seems like it might be partially miraculous that it turned out so good.

* 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...
