Prompt: May - Battle - Jedi
Team: :yarn:
Project Name: pizzas
Project Link:
Brief Description: I made pizzas last week for dinner. My BIL (@QueenHobo’s husband) made the dough and put the pizza in and out of the oven for me (I’m afraid of the oven… I tend to burn myself), but I constructed each pizza. We got a round of mmmmmmm’s, some nommy’s from Grumpy Frog (the highest praise she gives), and in fact I never even got a pic or a slice of the pepperoni and olive pizza, which was devoured in about two minutes. So it was good, like Jedi.

I made a pepperoni and black olive, a four cheese with olives on half, a Hawaiian, a bbq chicken pizza, and my calzone. Mmmmmm

Prompt: In a Freak Snowstorm (Spring Quarantine)
Team: Running with Scissors
Project Name: Spice Cake Brownies
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: I made this spice cake, which was unexpected, because the recipe was for cake mix brownies. The cake itself is a success, just not very brownie-like save for a strip in the middle.

Project Name: Sweet Potato Taco Pasta
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: I made this for dinner the other night. It was useful for satisfying both my hunger and the vision I had for it. (Ideally, the sweet potato/corn/bean mix would have been a taco filling, but I didn’t have anything resembling a taco shell, so I settled for mixing it w/leftover pasta.)

I bet that taco mix was great with the pasta! And the spice cake looks delicious. I love to top mine with peaches and whipped cream! :yum:

Cute lil birdie! The crocheted clouds are just right!

Cool fabric @gozer! I especially like the aliens and the cassette tapes. Guess I am a true child of the 80s! Lol!

No surprise that I’ve been terrible at keeping up, I want to go back through and comment on everything, if I manage that, buckle up, it’ll be a loooong post! I just need to sit down at my computer, and I so rarely do that any more… speaking of, new prompts are posted, I hope this link works on my phone…

If not, prompt palace is where they’re at! Keep up the amazing crafting!

I am hoping to be better, as well! During the day, I’m on the computer for school for several hours straight. I sneak time here when I can (I should be online, as of right now, answering questions) and I hope that when school finishes (19 days!!), I can get back on track :slight_smile:

I feel your pain on the no garlic thing. my husband is allergic to all alliums. so no onions, garlic, chives, leeks, agave, aloe, etc… not only eating, but airborne, so we have had to make some major changes in our lives. if you need any help let me know, I have a few good recipes in my repertoire. (though not all are fodmap safe as that isn’t our focus) good luck!

Ok… I know… haven’t been around much… but apart from cooking/baking I barely managed to do any crafting, what with WFH and home schooling the terrors… :wink:

But here we go… a few updates:

Tunisian crochet is not something I have done past the TSS (Simple Stitch). I found a CAL which will introduce me to different stitches, and I really love them. Oh, and this blanket square is blue. :wink:

Project Name: Sweet Tomatoes’ Broccoli Salad
Project Link:
Brief Description:
Hubby and I loved eating at Sweet Tomatoes (Souplantation), I’m a total salad fan, and having that yummy buffet was AMAZING! Hubby told me last week that Souplantation is now closing down due to Covid19 (I think most buffet style restaurants will be affected by it), so last year summer was our last time! I absolutely LOVE their Broccoli Madness salad, and I fould the “Copykat” recipe for it last year and made it already once. Today it was a bit of a bittersweet time for me to make it and I was really sad that there will be no more meals at that place from now on! :sob: :cry:
