= Dinner History =
* 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 Cardimom 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 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.
