* 2015-08-25 [http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/contest-winning-vegetarian-chili Contest Winning Vegetarian Chilli], doubled.  Recipe says it makes 16, but actually it's more like half that, even doubled it didn't fill the big pot.  Had some trouble with the pinto beans, FreshCo doesn't sell them in cans, only dried, so I tried it that way, but they really needed to soak for a lot longer than I had.  They were *mostly* cooked by the time dinner was actually served, buy only because I had them soaking by about 4:30.  Anyway, good recipe, tasted good, though I don't know if it would win any contests.  The zucchini is the best part, and I also disagree with comments saying it has too much tomato - tomato content was totally fine!  Also, very little spice, could use more.  Great color though, very good looking recipe!
* 2015-08-18 [http://yupitsvegan.com/2015/04/25/general-tsos-chickpeas/ General Tao's Chickpeas], quadrupled, with 4 cups rice (actually needed 6) (also, this recipe didn't say how many servings it would be, but for reference 4x made about 20 servings - a little bit of room left in the biggest pot). Great, would make again A++.  Very quick to make - once you've got it chopped, it's hardly anytime at all, which is why we only did 4 cups rice - rice was late late late!  Lots of flavor, but hardly any spice, would add more spice next time.

* 2015-08-11 [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/gazpacho-recipe.html Gazpacho], a repeat from last summer, quadrupled.  Delicious as before, it's amazing how great it is for how simple it is!  No pots or pans at all, and minimal chopping, which is awesome!  Also cooked up two packages of vegetable samosas from the freezer, with some awesome dips.
