* 2018-09-18 [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parkers-split-pea-soup-recipe-1916855 parkers split pea soup] 3x a repeat and [https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/6773/simple-whole-wheat-bread/ simple whole wheat bread] a repeat and [https://thebusybaker.ca/easy-classic-peach-pie/ easy classic peach pie].  The soup, excellent as always, we added a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, and a teaspoon of hot paprika, but otherwise as written.  The bread, incredible, the honey taste and the sweetness are awesome, and doing it in the cupcake pan is fun and easy to serve, would make again, even though it does take almost 3h.  The pie, the peaches were great, but the recipe was underwhelming.  I think in particular I agree with other recipes that the oven should be hotter - we had it in for over the maximum 50 minutes it called for and the dough was STILL doughy and undercooked.  Ironically I picked the recipe partly for that lower temp, to agree with bread...
* 2018-09-04 [https://www.hotforfoodblog.com/recipes/2014/2/11/cauliflower-buffalo-wings Cauliflower Buffalo Wings] 4x a favorite repeat and [https://onlyglutenfreerecipes.com/recipe-items/vegan-vichyssoise-soup-recipe/ Vegan Vichyssoise Soup] 4x.  The "wings", once again absolutely amazing.  The transformation is remarkable.  As advised below, we used the hot sauce and the "ranch dip" (we actually baked the dip on! it worked well), and didn't use the "salt & vinegar" sauce at all.  The soup was simple and delicious, would make again for sure.  That's sure one heck of a huge amount of leeks, but the cooked down pretty quickly in two frying pans.  Chilling with ice/the fridge got it to just above room temp by the time of a slightly-late dinner, but I actually think it would be fine served hot too.

* 2018-08-21 [https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/food-recipes/healthy/a42397/smoky-vegan-black-bean-soup-recipe/ smoky black bean soup] 3x a repeat and [https://kalynskitchen.com/vegan-cabbage-tofu-bowl-peanut-sauce/ vegan cabbage tofu bowl] a favorite repeat 2x, but 4x sauce and 3x tofu, as suggested below.  The soup was actually bland and earthy, even with extensive modifications at the end, it only got up to "acceptable"; I'm not sure why it wasn't as good as previous times we've made it.  We didn't drain or rinse the beans this time, because the recipe says not to do that, but I'm thinking perhaps on previous attempts, we did anyway?  If I made it again I WOULD drain and rinse at least a few of the cans.  The red cabbage bowl, amazing as always, there is a reason that one is one the favorites list.  Pretty easy to make, and super delicious and crunchy!
