* 2018-12-18 two old standby's this week: [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parkers-split-pea-soup-recipe-1916855 parkers split pea soup] 3x and [https://holycowvegan.net/golden-roasted-curry-mustard-potatoes/ golden roasted curry mustard potatoes] 2x. Both were great again; the soup, we left it chunky this time instead of immersion blending it. The potatoes, larger chunks than usual, which was interesting - as always, potatoes totally went quickly, I wish we could do more, but this really does fill the oven... | |||
* 2018-12-11 [https://nirvanacakery.com/vegan-borscht/ best vegan borscht] tripled with the cashew sour cream from [https://www.mydarlingvegan.com/raw-vegan-tacos/ raw vegan tacos] doubled, and [https://addapinch.com/the-best-chocolate-cake-recipe-ever/ chocolate cake] with [https://addapinch.com/perfect-chocolate-buttercream-frosting-recipe/ buttercream frosting] 2/3rds. The borscht, mediocre, we did extensive modifications and then people loved it, but I still feel like it doesn't measure up to our regular borscht recipe. Also triple actually made almost *two* pots worth, so I think the recipe's "6" is rather conservative, it would serve more like 10. Mods: lime juice, dried parsley, tons of salt (way more than you'd think would be required, and I still felt like it was short), and finally, to try to deal with the thin taste, some garam masala, which did fill it in nicely. The cashew sour cream was AWESOME, would make that again for sure. And the cake, gone super fast as expected, very moist, and making 2/3 of the icing was the right call, it had about the perfect amount of icing (my opinion, others disagreed, but it's my birthday!). | * 2018-12-11 [https://nirvanacakery.com/vegan-borscht/ best vegan borscht] tripled with the cashew sour cream from [https://www.mydarlingvegan.com/raw-vegan-tacos/ raw vegan tacos] doubled, and [https://addapinch.com/the-best-chocolate-cake-recipe-ever/ chocolate cake] with [https://addapinch.com/perfect-chocolate-buttercream-frosting-recipe/ buttercream frosting] 2/3rds.

* 2018-12-04 [https://cookieandkate.com/2014/creamy-vegan-butternut-squash-linguine-with-fried-sage/ creamy vegan butternut squash with fried sage] 3x plus, I added the roasted tomatoes from [https://ohsheglows.com/2011/09/06/roasted-tomato-basil-pesto/ roasted tomato basil pesto] doubled, and [https://minimalistbaker.com/how-to-make-vegan-parmesan-cheese/ vegan parmesan cheese] also doubled, though that was extra for sure. Truly excellent, one of the best dinners of 2018. I'm adding to favorites, in fact, since this was the third and best time. Also, not regularly mentioned here, but I almost always make "hack bread" in the bread machine, with a random spice added for fun. Tonight was cumin, which I've done before and is excellent, probably the best spice to add. For reference, the bread maker recipe is: 1.5 cups warm water, 3 cups flour, 2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp yeast. Plus I usually add 1-3 tsp of a spice, tonight it was 1 tsp cumin & 2 tsp cumin seeds. | * 2018-12-04 [https://cookieandkate.com/2014/creamy-vegan-butternut-squash-linguine-with-fried-sage/ creamy vegan butternut squash with fried sage] 3x plus, I added the roasted tomatoes from [https://ohsheglows.com/2011/09/06/roasted-tomato-basil-pesto/ roasted tomato basil pesto] doubled, and [https://minimalistbaker.com/how-to-make-vegan-parmesan-cheese/ vegan parmesan cheese] also doubled, though that was extra for sure.
