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. | * 2018-05-08 [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 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. | * 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 pea soup was great, would make again. The carrot soup was a bit watery (probably my mistake), but tasty enough once we got the sugar in and added some lemon juice. The bread, we couldn't find the loaf tins, so we made it in pots and in cupcake tins, and it was AMAZING, I'd make the "cup breads" or "breadlets" again any time, handy and delicious, plus it reduced the baking time! Also made a loaf of white bread in the bread machine and turned that info garlic rosemark bread, which was delicious as always. Finally, Joseph brought ingredients for [https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a58684/smores-egg-rolls-recipe/ smores egg rolls], delicious but oh-so-unhealthy! | ||

The curry, spicy and great as usual. 6x was totally the right call - just fits, after things boil down, though with that much veggie there sure is a LOT of chopping! The rice also delicious, but we think the extra freezer frost on the frozen peas/etc added moisture, which resulted in it being a bit mushier. I liked it, but other people apparently think it should have been crisper / more "fried". | * 2018-03-27 [https://jessicainthekitchen.com/thai-green-curry-vegan-gluten-free/ thai green curry] 6x a repeat and [https://damndelicious.net/2014/06/25/pineapple-fried-rice/ pineapple fried rice] 1.33x.

Both excellent, would totally make the casserole again, a bit of work but not as bad as you'd think with the food processor to do all the slicing. The donuts were actually easy to make - just get the oil to the right temp. Rolling in the sugar was a bit tricky, injecting the jam surprisingly easy.

The mac and cheese was hearty and good, also HUGE, 3x made the 2 13x9 dishes and 2 of the 9x9, all quite deep. The coconut noodles were excellent, would make again. The bread, I made 3 subs, the most important was oats instead of the whole-wheat flour, then also sunflower seeds and cashews instead of walnuts. Given that, it was delicious and perfect texture, best bread I've ever made here actually, obviously would make again, though it seems like it might be partially miraculous that it turned out so good. | * 2016-10-18 [http://www.theinventivevegetarian.com/pumpkin-mac-and-cheese/ pumpkin mac and cheese] 3x and [http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/spicy-coconut-noodles spicy coconut noodles] 4x and [http://hellyeahitsvegan.com/vegan-pumpkin-bread/ vegan pumpkin bread] 2x.

* 2016-10-11 For Thanksgiving: [http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes/butternut-squash-with-whole-wheat-wild-rice-onion-stuffing/ Butternut Squash With Whole Wheat, Wild Rice, & Onion Stuffing] 2x and [http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes/glorious-grains/quinoa/red-quinoa-pilaf-with-kale-and-corn/ Red Quinoa Pilaf with Kale and Corn] 2x and [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/vegan-roasted-garlic-mashed-potatoes.html Vegan Roasted-Garlic Mashed Potatoes] 3x with [http://minimalistbaker.com/deep-dish-apple-crumble-pie/ deep dish apple crumble pie] and [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/12682/apple-pie-by-grandma-ople/ apple pie by grandma ople] (a repeat) for dessert. The squash was good, not great, but very hard to make (scooping half cooked squash while it's hot? Are they insane?), and took forever, I would not make it again. Also, we couldn't even FIND wild rice, so we subbed some awesome black rice that we found. The pilaf was excellent and much easier to make; 2x made less than half a pot so if I do make it again I'd scale it up more than that - 5x would probably fill the pot. Both pies were good and lasted about 3 minutes :-). The mashed potatoes we served because you can't have thanksgiving without mashed potatoes, but actually we didn't roast the garlic, just put it in with the potatoes while boiling, which was not as good for sure. Next time I'd do it proper... | * 2016-10-11 For Thanksgiving: [http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes/butternut-squash-with-whole-wheat-wild-rice-onion-stuffing/ Butternut Squash With Whole Wheat, Wild Rice, & Onion Stuffing] 2x and [http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes/glorious-grains/quinoa/red-quinoa-pilaf-with-kale-and-corn/ Red Quinoa Pilaf with Kale and Corn] 2x and [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/vegan-roasted-garlic-mashed-potatoes.html Vegan Roasted-Garlic Mashed Potatoes] 3x with [http://minimalistbaker.com/deep-dish-apple-crumble-pie/ deep dish apple crumble pie] and [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/12682/apple-pie-by-grandma-ople/ apple pie by grandma ople] (a repeat) for dessert.

Both good, though we had to adulterate the carrot soup quite a bit - not sure why it wasn't as good straight up as last time. 10 lbs bag of carrots was $2, so this was a super cheap recipe! The Butternut Mac was easy and flavorful, but missing something, I just have no idea what - not quite as creamy as real cheese, but that wasn't the problem. | ||

Both dishes were *excellent*, would make again. The soup, should have made 4x, it would have fit, and we needed the extra - all the food gone today at 8:15! The potatoes, 2x already filled all four trays in the oven, so not really possible to make more easily. The potatoes, we used way more mustard than they called for - perhaps double, otherwise as in recipe. The soup, we fried the onions and added garlic too, I can't imagine why the recipe doesn't fry the onions! | * 2016-09-27 [http://www.food.com/recipe/butternut-squash-and-roasted-red-pepper-soup-131936 Butternut Squash and Roasted Red Pepper Soup] 3x and [http://holycowvegan.net/2015/06/golden-roasted-curry-mustard-potatoes.html Golden Roasted Curry Mustard Potatoes] 2x, with garlic bread for the soup.

* 2014-12-09 [http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Aloo-Matar/Detail.aspx?evt19=1 Aloo Matar] Quadrupled. Pretty good, would make again. Tried to use the new wok with wok ring, but not enough heat - ultimately had to do the onions in the frying pan and the mix in a large pot, as usual. The potatoes, even though we pre-cooked them in the microwave, ended up undercooked - a little firm, but still good. Would pre-cook them a little more next time (7 min x 2 instead of 5 min x2?, maybe with stirring half-way through). Halved the paprika, as recommended in a comment - great idea, still fairly spicy! | * 2014-12-09 [http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Aloo-Matar/Detail.aspx?evt19=1 Aloo Matar] Quadrupled.
