* 2020-02-29 [https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Thai-Eggplant-Mushroom-Curry-1524819 Thai eggplant mushroom curry] 4x. Used limes instead of lemon and dried shiitake mushrooms which were soaked in cold water for at least 1 hour. Also used a mixture of coconut cream and powdered coconut milk with the mushroom water in place of the coconut milk.

* 2020-02-25 [https://www.makingthymeforhealth.com/creamy-eggplant-tomato-soup/ Creamy eggplant tomato soup] 4x and [https://lovingitvegan.com/vegan-red-velvet-cake/ vegan red velvet cake] for dessert. Soup ended up being too salty as I lost track of the amount of salt. As for the cake, add more (1/4 teaspoon?) vinegar, frosting also had an unusual taste | |||
* 2020-02-18 [https://www.cilantroandcitronella.com/vegan-japanese-curry/ vegan japanese curry] 4x with [https://www.thestar.com/life/food_wine/2015/04/09/rastafarian-restaurant-in-scarborough-offers-vegan-meals-from-scratch.html carrot and ginger rice] 2x and hackbread with spices. Plus some [https://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/cardamom-carrot-cake-with-kombucha-frosting/ vegan cardamom carrot cake] for desert. The rice was good but interestingly more plain that I remember. The curry was great, very unusual making it, but lots of flavor at the end, the cayenne pepper really gives it a nice kick. The carrot cake was AMAZING. | |||
* 2020-02-11 [https://knowledge.hacklab.to/w/images/4/42/DanDanNoodles.JPG Traditional Dan Dan Noodles] from a Sichuan cookbook. Plus hackbread and vegan brownies. We added some extra veggies to the pasta, and of course subbed in Tempeh for pork (to make it vegan - original inspiration was this [https://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/vegan-and-gluten-free-tempeh-meatballs/ tempeh meatball recipe] from the wishlist). It was good - not as spicy as you might expect, but the flavor grows on you over time, my opinion of the dish was a lot higher at the end than in the first few bites. Frustratingly the recipe seems to be somewhat broken - half of the ingredients, it doesn't tell you what to do with them, so we just added them to the pasta. The brownies were very googey, but tasted great otherwise. | |||
* 2020-02-03 [https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/238662/slow-cooker-jambalaya-vegan/ vegan jambalaya] 3x with [https://holycowvegan.net/golden-roasted-curry-mustard-potatoes/ golden roasted curry mustard potatoes] a repeat 2x and [https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-chocolate-cake/ the best vegan chocolate cake] for dessert. We were *way* off recipe with the jambalaya, but it was good anyway. No seitan or vegan sausage, so we subbed two kinds of (dried) mushrooms and some chili bamboo slices. Then forgot the rice. Also added some lemon juice at the end, and of course didn't use a slow cooker. The potatoes, great as always, super yummi, we should consider making them a favorite. The cake, by ATrain, quite good! | |||
* 2020-01-28 A recipe from the archives [https://www.foodfaithfitness.com/moroccan-cauliflower-soup-with-carrots-apples-and-pistachio-cream-vegan-paleo/ Moroccan cauliflower soup with carrots and apples] separated the pistachio cream, all x3. Roasted the cauliflowers and carrots before combining. Probably needed more salt and probably needed more apples or omitted them since they were barely noticeable. [https://keeprecipes.com/recipe/howtocook/sweetened-condensed-milk-banana-bread Banana bread] for dessert | |||
* 2020-01-21 [https://cookieandkate.com/mexican-quinoa-stew-recipe/ mexican quinoa stew] 4x and hackbread with nutmeg and "mexican" garlic bread. The stew was good, very filling, and a nice level of space (with only 6 of the 8 jalapeños, but they were big ones). The mexican garlic bread was basically onion + jalapeños + garlic + vegan margarine, worked really well, spicy, tasted great! There was also [https://www.womanscribbles.net/swedish-cardamom-buns/ Cardamom buns] for dessert, delicious! | |||
* 2020-01-14 [https://www.ilovevegan.com/cheesy-vegan-potato-broccoli-casserole/ cheesy vegan potato broccoli casserole] 2x with 1/4 of [https://simpleveganblog.com/vegan-cheese/ vegan cheese] to replace the Daiya. I forgot the salt, but otherwise it was great, a lot of work to thinly slice things, but satisfying in the end. Also, hackbread with tandoori masala, it was surprisingly good! And [https://afternoonexpress.co.za/recipes/vanilla-chai-fudge/2946 vanilla chai fudge], with some rampant off-recipe substitutions, it came out fascinating (with granulated sugar crystals!) but overwhelmingly sweet, just like fudge usually is :-) | |||
* 2020-01-07 [https://rasamalaysia.com/spicy-sichuan-noodles/ Spicy Sichuan Noodles] 2x and [https://www.chinasichuanfood.com/kung-pao-cauliflower/ Kung Pao Cauliflower] 2x (but with Broccoli). Both excellent, the noodles were indeed SUPER spicy, atoic even :-), would make them again, easy and awesome flavor. The stirfry, great as well, nice and fresh. | |||
* apparently there was a saving problem with an edit I made, and we lost 2 weeks of data. Plus we missed, Christmas, of course. | |||
* 2019-12-17 [https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/jerk-sweet-potato-black-bean-curry jerk sweet potato and black bean curry] a favorite repeat, 2x. Plus hack bread and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD2OOTx2G9k&feature=emb_logo gourmet twinkies] (!) The curry was amazing, as always - this one was a little sweeter than usual, probably because I didn't measure the sugar, just dumped some hard lumps we had in. The "twinkies" were super fun to make, and good, but I think not as similar to twinkies as we were hoping they would be. We didn't have any cake flour (and therefore used white flour) so they were a bit heavier / chewier than the real recipe would have been, but even so, I don't think they were very close to twinkies... fun though :-) | |||
* 2019-12-10 [https://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/lemon-and-walnut-linguine-with-roasted-broccoli/ lemon and walnut linguine with roasted broccoli] 3x plus bread and chocolate chip cookies. 3x wasn't nearly enough, we ran out of food for the first time at the new space! It was good, VERY lemon. | |||
* 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. | |||
* 2019-07-02 [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! | |||
* 2019-06-26 [https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/cold-noodle-bowl-with-sriracha-peanut-crumble/ cold noodle bowl with sriracha peanut sauce] 2x and [https://www.ilovevegan.com/vegan-raspberry-crumble-bars/ vegan raspberry crumble bars] also double and fresh squeezed lemonaide. Very far off recipe for the noodle bowl - the store does not stock hoisin sauce, or snap peas, or sesame oil, or peanuts (only in shell). So I subbed a lot, but it worked out, tasted great. The crumble bars also great, but it was a lot of work! Lemonaide wonderful, would make on a hot day again for sure. | |||
* 2019-06-18 [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/gazpacho-recipe-1941264 gazpacho] a repeat 2x and [https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/10549/best-brownies/?clickId=right%20rail0&internalSource=rr_feed_recipe_sb&referringId=10813%20referringContentType%3Drecipe brownies]. The gazpacho was awesome, as always. The brownies, "healthy" since I had to use whole wheat flour. Lol. | |||
* 2019-06-11 [https://jessicainthekitchen.com/thai-green-curry-vegan-gluten-free/ thai green curry] 3x with 3 cups of plain brown rice. Accidentally shredded the carrots instead of slicing them, as a result it was more sweet and carrot-y, but still good - a bit bland really, maybe more curry paste next time... | |||
* 2019-06-04 [https://cookieandkate.com/roasted-butternut-squash-soup/ butternut squash soup] 2x, because the super market didn't have any split peas! I wanted to start with the same recipe as we ended :-). It was good. | |||
* 2019-02-12 [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parkers-split-pea-soup-recipe-1916855 split pea soup] 2x, a repeat. Last dinner before the move to hacklab 3.0, it was good as usual. | |||
* 2019-02-05 [https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-vegan-fried-rice/ easy vegan fried rice] 4x and [https://cookieandkate.com/2013/spicy-thai-peanut-sauce-over-roasted-sweet-potatoes-and-rice/ spice thai peanut sauce over roasted sweet potatoes] favorite repeat, 6x. The sweet potatoes awesome as usual, so delicious! The rice, also quite good, though I made the tofu my way, so not sure about their way... but fried rice takes so much longer than any other kind of rice, it's essentially 3x the work... | * 2019-02-05 [https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-vegan-fried-rice/ easy vegan fried rice] 4x and [https://cookieandkate.com/2013/spicy-thai-peanut-sauce-over-roasted-sweet-potatoes-and-rice/ spice thai peanut sauce over roasted sweet potatoes] favorite repeat, 6x.

* 2019-01-22 [https://neuroticmommy.com/2016/04/08/one-skillet-vegan-hamburger-helper/ vegan hamburger helper] 4x and garlic bread and hackbread. The hamburger helper was actually quite tasty and filling, I was a bit leery of the raw onion added at the end, but it added a nice crunch! And the vegan cheeze-wiz was not actually cheese flavored, but was nice and creamy and really worked well. | * 2019-01-22 [https://neuroticmommy.com/2016/04/08/one-skillet-vegan-hamburger-helper/ vegan hamburger helper] 4x and garlic bread and hackbread.
