Anyone have any recipes they are making this week (or have made recently) that they want to share?

I made this last week and loved it. I used the kidney beans with chili seasoning and the diced tomatoes with chilis and garlic because a friend who made it before me said it was a little bland the way the original recipe was made.

My H isn't home to cook dinner for.

 I'm boring and usually cook rice and a friend egg, or rice and chicken, or I make myself a sandwich. haha

I did lots of experimenting last week, via Pinterest. H bought a pumpkin and I made my own pumpkin puree and roasted the seeds. I used the puree to make these cookies: http://www.kitchencorners.com/2008/10/vegan-pumpkin-oatmeal-chocolate-chip.html.

I also roasted sweet potato like this: http://www.edibleperspective.com/home/2010/3/27/simplicity.html, and I made this soup: http://www.manifestvegan.com/2011/10/sweet-potato-cauliflower-soup/.
