* 2017-03-28 [http://vegangela.com/2013/11/19/quick-easy-indian-curry-quinoa/ Indian Curry Quinoa] 4x and [http://vegangela.com/2013/09/27/asian-cashew-quinoa-salad/ asian cashew quinoa salad] 4x and for our first week of Snacklab Seasonal Sidedish Showdown, Roberta made [http://eatthegains.com/asparagus-mushrooms-creamy-roasted-garlic-lemon-sauce/ asparagus mushrooms in creamy roaster garlic lemon sauce] and we had [http://www.ricekrispies.ca/en_CA/recipes/fudge-sandwiches-recipe.html fudge sandwiches] for dessert.  The salad was excellent, would make again.  The curry, OK.  The asparagus, also OK, I asked a few people and in general I think it's a "B", good but nothing to write home about.  We have left over food today since there is so many dishes!
* 2017-03-21 [http://ohmyveggies.com/recipe-thai-red-curry-with-asparagus-and-tofu thai red curry with asparagus and tofu] 4x and [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/mint-biryani-with-garden-peas/ mint biryani with peas] 4x.  Plus an improvised dessert from some squash.  Best dinner in awhile, would do both again!  Both the curry and the biryani were both great.  The biryani we didn't have a slow cooker so had to adapt that.  The curry, we added some fried onions and garlic, didn't feel right without that at the start.  Also, the curry, was more liquid than we liked, I think next time I would NOT add the stock/water that it called for, it's unnecessary.  The dessert: basically, roasted squash + maple syrup + cinnamon + ground cloves + nutmeg.  Blend, put in glass baking dish, sprinkle some brown sugar, and broil.  Yummi!

* 2017-03-14 [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/sweet-potato-carrot-and-ginger-soup/ sweet potato ginger and carrot soup] 3x with garlic bread.  Plus [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/12682/apple-pie-by-grandma-ople/ apple pie] and [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/12468/old-fashioned-strawberry-pie/ strawberry pie] for Pi Day! The soup was good, even great actually, but we think it could have been made better with some lemon juice to brighten it up.  The apple pie we've made before and is good.  The strawberry pie was out of this world, incredible, would totally make again.  We added 4 cloves (ground) and 1/4 tsp. nutmug to the recipe, and made two open-top pies rather than one closed pie, but otherwise, as written.
