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 Photo(s):
Prompt: R2D2 (May) Team: Running with Scissors 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.) Project Photo(s):

Prompt: Research Project #1 Team: Running with Scissors Project Name: SO MANY MASKS Project Link:ROUND 2: Craftalongs Challenge - Lettuce Help Our Communities Brief Description: I decided to just post the rest of my masks as a research project. My mom and I have been making LOADS. We just finished 11 more today, 9 yesterday, and 15 the day before. I’ve lost track of how many we’ve made total so far but we’ve already given away over 75.

Here are a couple of random photos of our workstation:
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
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…
But here we go… a few updates:

Prompt: May - Rancor Team: Bits and Bobs 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! Project Photo(s):
