Macarons

 https://thebeachhousekitchen.com/chocolate-peanut-butter-macarons/#wprm-recipe-container-21486

Made these on New Year's day because Leela loves them. I had a hard time following the instructions and had a couple missteps in the egg white whipping. I missed adding the plain sugar. I added it after I whipped the egg white. Then I forgot to add the vanilla at the soft peak stage and had to keep whipping after I added it.

I probably under mixed the batter after adding the almond flour mixture because the shells were slightly hollow. Also, I baked both trays at the same time and some we bigger than others and they cooked slower than the "normal"-sized ones.

Generally, this tutorial is what I followed the first time and I think it is very informative.

Blonde brownies

These turned out great. Used the King Arthur 1:1 flour 

Pecan Pie Bars

I followed this recipe, replacing the regular flour for Gluten free flour.

I'm not completely happy with the crust, so I'll have to try again, but they are still pretty good.

Gluten free lefse

Made this last year and I really think it was almost the same as the wheat flour ones.

We made them first so not to contaminate the rolling mats.

Miso glazed tofu

 https://naturallieplantbased.com/miso-glazed-tofu/#recipe

E got lots of red miso, so I'm trying to figure out how to use some of it up. This was just ok, not liked by E at all.

Won't make it again 

Caesar dressing again

 https://whats4supper2night.blogspot.com/2019/05/vegan-caesar-dressing.html

Was my first attempt at the dressing.

This was my second, not too bad. I prefer this yogurt base over the mayo base. I can make a double batch and it fits in a small half pint canning jar.
