* 2015-09-15 [http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies/48acadc3-f7e1-46b5-bb33-33bee95f6cf7 Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies] for the Saturday open house.  Made 36 cookies, very delicious. 
* 2015-09-08 Channa Masala & Jeera Rice, both from recipes from a vegetarian cooking class Eric took years ago (finally dug up the recipes).  Basically doubled the spices in the channa, it tastes good now.  Also used more tomatoes and less onions than it called for.  The rice is great, I've wanted to do non-white rice for awhile and this one worked well.  Plus watermelon for desert.

* 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!
