* 2017-01-17 [http://minimalistbaker.com/coconut-red-curry-with-chickpeas/ coconut red curry with chickpeas] 3x and [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3238/spicy-indian-rice spicy indian rice] a repeat 3x and [http://spoonuniversity.com/recipe/ultimate-chocolate-chip-banana-bread-recipe chocolate chip banana bread].  The curry was great, would make again - the chickpeas really bulk it up in a nice way!  Would add more veggies next time, e.g. some broccoli or something like that; does not need tofu thanks to the chickpeas.  I added some extra (dried) black mushrooms that we had around, and perhaps some extra red paste - was very spicy!  The rice, excellent as usual.  The bread, wonderful, a large loaf, but it vanished immediately :-).  It's prime baking season now so I plan to make something for every open house!
* 2017-01-10 [http://dishingupthedirt.com/recipes/soup/roasted-eggplant-white-bean-soup-2/ roasted eggplant and white bean soup] 8x a repeat and [http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Cocoa-Date-Pie cocoa date pie], which we have made before, but I think this is slightly different recipe.  The soup, two pots, I wanted some leftovers since the freezer is empty.  Soup is excellent, as before, would make again.  The pie, super rich, and not as sweet as you might expect, it's good but you can only take a little bit of it, kind of like cheesecake.

* 2017-01-03 an old favorite [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2835667/jerk-sweet-potato-and-black-bean-curry jerk sweet potato and black bean curry] doubled, with garlic bread.  And [http://minimalistbaker.com/1-bowl-ginger-cookies-vgf/ ginger cookies] doubled for desert.  Both amazing!  The cookies turned out a little thick - stayed closer to balls rather than flattening out, so we had to cook them longer, but still taste great.
