* 2018-05-15 [http://veganyumminess.com/creamy-vegan-mac-and-cheese/ creamy vegan mac and cheese] 3x and [https://www.foodiewithfamily.com/simple-garlicky-green-bean-stir-fry/ garlicky green bean stirfry] 2x, plus [http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/joes-molten-marshmallow-chocolate-cakes molten marshmallow chocolate cakes] 2x for dessert.  The mac and cheese recipe, despite coming recommended from noisebridge, was well below average - comfort food, yes, but very bland.  I added extra nutritional yeast, and extra spices, and got it to "OK" but certainly never making it again.  The beans, simple and wonderful.  The dessert, positively diabolical, it was like the richest, most sinful super huge brownie I've ever eaten.  Nobody went back for a second one, but only because ONE was already far far too much! 
* 2018-05-08 [https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/165190/spicy-vegan-potato-curry/ spicy vegan potato curry] 2x (with extra veggies) and [https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/lemon-brown-rice-garlic-and-thyme lemon brown rice] 3x plus [https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2016/11/29/chocolate-chip-marshmallow-cookies/ chocolate chip marshmallow cookies] and bread from the bread maker.  The curry was spicy for sure, but a bit bland until we added extra cumin, some garam masala and some lemon juice to brighten it up.  The cookies, somehow failed to set timer, when we got them out, the marshmallows had actually melted into the dough, I think saving the cookies from burning, but also disappointing us!  Delicious anyway.  The rice, subtle but excellent, comboed well.

* 2018-04-10 [https://www.hummusapien.com/vegetarian-chili/ vegetarian chili] 4x but only 3x on the tomatoes and beans plus [http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/vegan-cornbread-115929?ftab=reviews#activity-feed vegan corn bread], which we made twice.  The chili, added mushrooms, and had to sub swiss chard instead of celery, plus we added some apple cider vinegar to brighten it up.  After all that, it was actually great - for a chili.  Too spicy by half though, 4 jalapeño's was too many, I think 2 would have been sufficient.  The corn bread, amazing, incredible, would make again for sure!  We also had bread in the bread maker again, great as always.
