* 2019-12-03 [https://www.yumsome.com/quick-n-easy-vegan-tom-yam/ Vegan Tom Yum Soup] 8x, plus hackbread with cinnamon. We used this plastic bottle of Tom Yum paste, rather than making the flavor from scratch as this recipe does - worked out awesome, one of the best tasting dinners in awhile, AND it actually tasted like Tom Yum soup, despite the lack of fish paste. Would make again for sure - in fact, we only used half the container, so will HAVE to make again soon :-). [https://www.joyofbaking.com/barsandsquares/OatmealLemonBars.html Oatmeal Lemon Bars] for dessert as there was little flour and a lot of oats (and a lemon) in the lab | |||
* 2019-11-26 [https://healthynibblesandbits.com/vegan-butternut-squash-curry-with-spinach/ Butternut squash curry with spinach] (remembered to include the curry this time) served with rice. Nothing added/removed from the recipe but I want to see if the dish still works without the crushed tomatoes. Also want to see if baking/browning the squash before adding to the curry would add more to its flavor but the combination of squash and spinach does go well with the rice. [https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/soft-molasses-cookies/ Molasses cookies] for dessert. | |||
* 2019-11-19 [https://www.mydarlingvegan.com/curried-pumpkin-soup/ Pumpkin soup with cashew creme]. Added some mushrooms but forgot to include the curry powder while cooking so it became just "pumpkin soup". The cashew creme didn't seem to do much besides provide a visual aesthetic. There was a comment about how it had some chicken flavor which had me worried whether I used a chicken bullion cube (instead of a vegetable cube) but hopefully the chicken flavor came from the mushrooms. [https://www.savingdessert.com/pumpkin-crinkle-cookies/ Pumpkin crinkle cookies] for dessert, had a slight soapy taste so reduce the amount of baking soda | |||
* 2019-11-12 [https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2019/09/11/pumpkin-mac-cheese/ pumpkin mac and cheese] 2x, but I baked it with breadcrumbs like in [http://www.theinventivevegetarian.com/pumpkin-mac-and-cheese/ this previous recipe] plus [http://hellyeahitsvegan.com/vegan-pumpkin-bread/ vegan pumpkin bread] and [https://lilluna.com/pumpkin-chocolate-chip-cookies/ pumpkin chocolate chip cookies]. The mac was OK - easy to make, but kinda plain, even though I also added the spices from the second recipe too. The hunt for a good vegan mac and cheese recipe sadly continues. The bread and cookies (with icing!) were great though! All together it still only used about half the pumpkin puree from a pumpkin though - we still have 2 pots in the fridge... | |||
* 2019-11-05 [https://www.noracooks.com/easy-vegan-potato-soup/ easy vegan potato soup] 3x, made a full pot! It got an enormous number of compliments, more than any dish I can remember. I personally though it was medocre though. I added some extra spices at the end - some garam masala for earthiness, some nutritional yeast flakes for more creamy, some pepper, and some garlic powder. Plus lots of salt. Would make again - with a food processor it's not so bad to make. | |||
* 2019-10-22 [https://jessicainthekitchen.com/thai-green-curry-vegan-gluten-free/ thai green curry] 4x and [https://cookieandkate.com/thai-pineapple-fried-rice-recipe/ thai pineapple fried rice] 2x (no eggs). The curry ended up positively *atomic* due to me adding just a random amount of green curry paste from my huge container; it was otherwise unremarkable. The pineapple fried rice was *wonderful*, this recipe actually causes the pineapple to be awesome due to frying it for a long time. Work, for sure, but would make again in a heart beat, totally great. | |||
* 2019-10-15 [https://healthiersteps.com/recipe/vegan-white-bean-soup/ white bean soup] 3x with [http://www.breadman.com/recipes/specialty-breads/beer-bread.aspx beer bread] and [https://www.thelifejolie.com/rice-krispie-treat-turkey/ rice krispie treat turkey]. The beer bread, disaster, it didn't rise at all, and so was super dense. Our resisdent beer brewing expert says that probably there was a preservative (or similar) chemical in the beer which resulted in the early death of all yeast. Need to check ingredient labels in the future. The soup, great, and easy to make too, would make again. The "turkey": hilarious, and fun to make too. Happy Thanksgiving! | |||
* 2019-10-08 [https://cookieandkate.com/creamy-vegan-butternut-squash-linguine-with-fried-sage/ butternet squash linguine] 2x a favorite repeat, this time without the fried sage, since the store doesn't sell sage. Added some roasted tomatoes as recommended. It was great as usual! Plus garlic rosemary bread. | |||
* 2019-09-10 [https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/02/dinner-tonight-vegetarian-borscht-recipe.html borscht] 3x a repeat with cumin bread from the bread machine. The soup was awesome, as usual, and the cumin bread, divine. | |||
* 2019-09-03 [https://cookieandkate.com/vegetarian-chili-recipe/ vegetarian chili] 2x and bread. It was actually really excellent, would make again. We used real tomatoes (as opposed to canned), plus a jar of strained tomatoes, but otherwise exactly as written. | |||
* 2019-08-27 [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parkers-split-pea-soup-recipe-1916855 parkers split pea soup] 2x a favorite repeat, it was amazingly delicious as usual. Plus bread from the farmers market that I made into double garlic bread and fresh bread from the bread maker - we actually had left over bread for the first time ever! | |||
* 2019-08-20 [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/gazpacho-recipe-1941264 gazpacho] 2x a favorite repeat. Amazingly good (as always), it seems especially sharp this time, maybe the onions were a bit too big? | |||
* 2019-08-13 [https://cookieandkate.com/best-lentil-soup-recipe/ spicy lentil soup] 2x a favorite repeat. Plus bread. Somehow it wasn't quite as good this time as I remember, not sure what was different? I used fresh (good smelling) tomatoes too. Anyway still good, just not incredible this time... | |||
* 2019-08-06 [https://cookieandkate.com/vegan-mac-and-cheese-recipe/ vegan mac and cheese] 3x. It's mediocre, so the quest for an actually awesome vegan mac and cheese continues... Also, Will brought in some experimental birthday cake, which was heavy but still tasty, we gave him some suggestions on how to make it better. | |||
* 2019-07-31 [https://onlyglutenfreerecipes.com/recipe-items/vegan-vichyssoise-soup-recipe/ vichyssoise soup] 3x plus bread from the farmers market. Didn't get it completely cold before serving, but it was delicious. I did have to adulterate a bit to add flavor - added garlic powder and lots of nutritional yeast flakes, as well as additional salt. | |||
* 2019-07-24 [https://thevegan8.com/vegan-red-pepper-curry-bowl/ vegan red pepper curry bowl] 3x. Unique and good tasting! Even 3x didn't make very much though, only fed about 8 people - it'd be hard to scale up further though since the oven already had all four trays... and pepper's are expensive! | |||
* 2019-07-09 [https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/wonderful-curried-sweet-potato-soup-161324 currie sweet potato soup] 4x with 1/3 [https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/korma-curry-paste/49c47697-1fc4-4e41-9746-88435b1ed93c korma paste] as below. And some awesome bred from the Trinity Bellwoods Farmers Market. Great as usual. | * 2019-07-09 [https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/wonderful-curried-sweet-potato-soup-161324 currie sweet potato soup] 4x with 1/3 [https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/korma-curry-paste/49c47697-1fc4-4e41-9746-88435b1ed93c korma paste] as below.

* 2019-07-02 [https://minimalistbaker.com/mediterranean-baked-sweet-potatoes/ mediterranean baked sweet potatoes] an old favorite, 2x. Plus watermelon and bread in the bread maker. First actual open house at the new space, with members of the public coming by and getting tours! The potatoes were amazing, as usual for this recipe. And it feels nice to be fully back in action, though we still have an enormous amount of setup to do! | * 2019-07-02 [https://minimalistbaker.com/mediterranean-baked-sweet-potatoes/ mediterranean baked sweet potatoes] an old favorite, 2x.
