* 2016-01-12 [http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/vegan-chili-51216410 Vegan Chili] tripled.  Used only three small jalapeños but it still came out super spicy!  Overall I'd say it's mediocre, the carrots are a nice touch but it's a bit lacking in flavor. 
* 2015-12-22 [http://minimalistbaker.com/mediterranean-baked-sweet-potatoes/ Mediterranean Baked Sweet Potatoes] doubled, a repeat and a favorite plus [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/222427/sandys-sweet-slow-cooker-sauerkraut/ Sandy's Sweet Slow Cooker Sauerkraut] also doubled, only without the slow cooker.  The sweet potatoes were amazing as always, it's an easy recipe and so delicious!  The sauerkraut was also delicious, though since we couldn't purchase any caraway seeds, it was missing an element that I consider essential to a sauerkraut experience.  Anyway good intro to sauerkraut for people who don't normally eat it - the sugar and apple really take the kraut edge off it nicely, making it almost dessert like.  Would make again, we made it this time because I discovered two mostly full jars of it in the fridge when I cleaned it out...

* 2015-12-15 [http://cookieandkate.com/2014/creamy-vegan-butternut-squash-linguine-with-fried-sage/ Creamy Butternut Squash Linguine with Fried Sage] tripled with [http://minimalistbaker.com/how-to-make-vegan-parmesan-cheese/  vegan parmesan cheese].  Tripled was *a lot*, doubled would have been enough, as of 9pm there is a little bit less than a third of it left.  It's good, in fact lots of people told me it's really good, but I actually thought it was kind of mediocre - I think I'm just not hot on pasta dishes in general.  Anyway, the fried sage thing was really interesting, and with the pepper added a couple of nice tasting accents to the pasta.  I added some halved cherry tomatoes to the recipe for color - very nice touch to an otherwise all orange meal.
