* 2017-05-09 [http://www.yummly.co/recipe/New-Potato-Rendang-_-Green-Beans-514450 Potato Rendang w/ Green Beans] a repeat 8x and [http://www.eatgood4life.com/caribbean-rice-beans/ Caribbean Rice Beans] 2x and [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/21461/ooey-gooey-cinnamon-buns/ ooey-gooey cinnamon buns] with [http://www.food.com/recipe/white-glaze-icing-for-pastries-cinnamon-rolls-and-danishes-454978 white icing].  The rendang, good, and huge - it actually didn't fit in one pot, it was more like 1.5 pots total.  The rice, super easy to make and yummi, but I think not quite good enough to recommend.  The cinammon buns, absolutely incredible, best baked dish of the season!  Will totally be making them again, even though they take 3 hours!  I also want to try a vegan version of them though, since that was the inspiration for making them, and I know it can be as good.

Also, we made it in metal bread dishes, which caused them to "explode upwards" a little bit, I think next time we should try the glass baking dishes, even though they have curved bottoms. 
* 2017-05-02 [https://yupitsvegan.com/2015/04/25/general-tsos-chickpeas/ general tso's chickpeas] a repeat 3x and [http://theveglife.com/kung-pao-chickpeas-vegan/ kung pao chickpeas] 3x with [http://www.food.com/recipe/veronicas-easy-spanish-rice-37638 easy spanish rice] 4x plus Roberta made some "ice banana" (like ice cream but with bananas).  The General Tso's, great again, love the broccoli and the crunchy chickpeas.  The kung-pao also good, quite spicy and the peanuts are great.  The spanish rice, very unusual to make (I burned quite a bit of the rice in the first part), but delicious!  Not sure if I would make it again, but it is almost that good, and really was the base for todays meals in an awesome way.  Roberta dessert great too, totally NOT ice-cream, but it is really good, and simple to make - just combine frozen black banana's with regular ripe banana's one to one in a blender, with whatever other flavours you want.  Then chill in the freezer for whoever long you need till you serve.

* 2017-04-25 [http://www.momskitchenhandbook.com/uncategorized/easy-vegan-butternut-squash-soup/ vegan butternut squash soup] 3x and garlic bread and [http://www.yummly.co/#recipe/Healthy-Banana-Cookies-1608159 date banana cookies].  The soup needed a bit of help (we added some nutmeg, extra maple syrup, some pepper, and some lemon juice), but ended up excellent, would make again.  3x actually only made about half a pot, which turned out OK since it's one of the quietest nights in memory.  The cookies, decent, but not anything to write home about, would not make again.
