* 2016-04-12 [http://www.californiaavocado.com/recipe-details/view/31851/california-avocado-cucumber-cups California Avocado Cucumber Cups] 6x and [https://opinionessoftheworld.com/2012/08/06/moroccan-spiced-tomato-chickpea-and-zucchini-stew/ Moroccan Spiced Tomato, Chickpea and Zucchini Stew] 4x, a repeat, and garlic/rosemary/pepper bread.  The stew was great (would make again, as before), but at 4x (instead of 3x) still didn't fill the biggest pot, maybe 5x would do it; although we did not add 7 of the 9 cups of water it calls for (that would have made it a soup!).  The cucumbers were AWESOME, but also a huge amount of work, and of course the Avocados came from Kensington Market - odds of being able to buy huge perfectly ripe ones like that at FreshCo are basically zero.  Great dinner overall, but it didn't last - food was gone in like an hour, and then tons of people had to order in stuff...
* 2016-04-05 [http://cookieandkate.com/2015/vegetarian-chili-recipe/ Homemade Vegetarian Chili], tripled and [http://healthyblenderrecipes.com/recipes/cream_of_broccoli_soup Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup] also tripled.  The chili was good, I only doubled the beans (not tripled) but otherwise made as is.  Decent but not worth making again.  The soup was quite bland as is, we extensively adulterated it, but then it was excellent.  What we did (this is to tripled, if you're making single, divide by three): added 3 tbsp of lemon juice, 6 tbsp of nutritional yeast flakes, 2 tbsp vegan butter, we had extra cashews already (maybe 1/4 cup extra, would add more next time for sure), a tbsp of thyme, and a tsp of garlic powder.  Basic idea was: let's make it more creamy and savory, and it seemed to work.  I would make the soup again, with these changes - it was really excellent.

* 2016-03-29 [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/152937/ethiopian-cabbage-dish/ Ethopian Cabbage Dish], a repeat, doubled, [http://www.veggiebelly.com/2010/08/ethiopian-mushroom-saute-ingudai-inguday-tibs.html Ingudai Tibs], and [http://lffccsarecipegroup.blogspot.ca/2012/02/spicy-ethiopian-style-beets.html Spicy Ethiopian Beets] all with Injera bread from Kensington Market.  The cabbage was excellent, as always.  The beet dish was spicy but otherwise a bit boring.  The mushroom tibs were great, would make again.  It's nice to get more elaborate on occasion, I think this may be the first time ever with 3 main dishes?
