April 2024: Vegetarian Jambalaya from the "Vegetarian Cookbook for Teens."

Homemade sloppy joes done. This. Was. So. Bland. I tried it in the spirit of the goal, but I ended up doctoring the rest of the batch pretty liberally for a sauce with some flavor.

Random recipe #2-- My girlfriend was highly amused by this challenge and insisted that picking a page number while in an entirely different state from the book counted as even more random. She picked page 69, naturally. This one shouldn't be too bad, although I'm not sure when it's going to be safe to buy ground beef.

Random recipe #1-- Ambrosia salad, picked by closing my eyes and letting the book fall open. This has sour cream and powdered sugar in the same recipe. Damn you, 1950s. At least it's not some kind of aspic.

Went to the 641s of the library, closed my eyes, spun around a bit, and waved my finger around the shelves while counting to seven. Came up with this baby. This...should be interesting.

Turned out to be a glorified Spaghetti Carbonara



(Gorgonzola/mascarpone cream cheese sauce, tomatoes, seasoning, bacon, pine nuts...)

I bought a new vegan cookbook called "But I could never go Vegan!" and gave it to Eva to choose anything she wanted me to make with the stipulation that she must eat what I make. Surprisingly, she choose baked BBQ tofu. I made it. It was so-so. She complained the whole time ;)

Mixed Vegetable and Soya Bean Hotpot

I opened a cook book on a random page because I had to make supper at home and was not quite sure what to make. My finger landed on a recipe to make savoy cabbage. It was great!

Ordered the probiotic in order to make this.

Spiced lentil and carrot soup from the Sensational Soup Cook book

I opened up one of my cook books. The first recipe was for Chocolate Chess pie. It was amazing! This was a really fun challenge!
