* 2017-09-06 [http://www.food.com/recipe/butternut-squash-and-roasted-red-pepper-soup-131936#activity-feed butternut squash and roasted red pepper soup] 4x a repeat and for Eric's Seasonal Snacklab Sidedish Showdown [http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/caramel-apple-sweet-rolls/ caramel apple sweet rolls], which despite messing up on (the dough needed even more extra flour than I added), were awesome tasting.  The soup, we had to adulterate a bit - but basically just some extra curry powder and some garam masala.   
* 2017-09-12 [https://minimalistbaker.com/coconut-red-curry-with-chickpeas/ coconut red curry with chickpeas] 4x with [https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3238/spicy-indian-rice spicy indian rice] a repeat, 3x.  The curry was great, I had to sub some veggie stock for a bit of the coconut milk, which was in short supply at the store, and added extra too since the curry seemed really thick.  We used shepherd peppers, and long beans, but otherwise as written - delicious, and 4x filled the pot actually ABOVE the brim, I had to remove a couple of bowls to fit it all in.  The rice, a repeat, was FANTASTIC again, really delicious and fluffy, with a nice texture and crunch as was as flavor, I'm actually going to make it a favorite, since we don't have a favorite rice yet.  Roberta also made her Snacklab Seasonal Sidedish Showdown today - a pesto red onion apple pizza.  It was amazingly good, really didn't taste like pizza, but was delicious.  The pesto really dominated the taste; the dough was wonderful.  It's very hard to judge it against the apple rolls, since this is like super savory and that was super sweet, such totally different tastes!

* 2017-08-29 [http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2014/03/vegan-cabbage-tofu-bowl-peanut-sauce.html vegan red cabbage bowl] a favorite repeat, 2x, but with 4x sauce and 3x tofu, as suggested below - really good advice.  and [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parkers-split-pea-soup-recipe-1916855 split pea soup] also a repeat, 3x, and garlic bread.  The red cabbage bowl, amazing, it's the sauce that makes that dish for sure, and damn it is tasty!  Stays on the favorite list for sure, though next time, no beans, splitting them length wise was crazy amounts of work.  The soup was also quite good, though as before, we had to adulterate it quite a bit at the end - lemon juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and some oregano.
