And by, "fabric store," of course I mean Walmart. 🙄
I found some super cute fat quarters at my Walmart last weekend, grabbed a few for some intro level projects! Post pics of what you pick out!

I don't have any ambitious projects at the moment. But someone gave me a kit to make wine cork coasters like 4 years ago and I think I finally have drank enough wine with natural corks to make them. This is the first weekend we're not away or having company. I might actually have the time to do them.
@jrouge12 I’m going to propose this innovative solution to the friend this is a gift for! She’s a fellow knitter so who knows she may be into it! 😂 Also I’ve been collecting corks for the last 7 years so I probably should start crafting with them at some point! Post your cork coasters for some inspiration! 😀

@SimpleJane I'm not a vegetarian, but I do have one meat-free go-to https://iowagirleats.com/2014/01/06/thai-peanut-chicken-quinoa-bowls/ (I eliminate the chicken and the chicken broth, and it's still great!)

Veggie pot pie
https://lifecurrentsblog.com/moms-vegetarian-pot-pie/
(you can make it without the wine)
Enchilada casserole, obviously leaving out the chicken.
https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/chicken-enchilada-casserole-recipe/
I also recommended this one earlier today in wto: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/cold-sesame-peanut-noodles/
Those are both cold dishes, which is all I want right now since our central air is busted. I’m always looking for more vegetarian friendly recipes that are filling, so I’m excited to go through others’ suggestions too!
I know I saw a picture of it on pinterest. I tend not to read recipes just figure I can figure it out.
*I usually mix in salsa, chili powder, paprika, garlic, and cumin.
We eat meatless pretty often (although not as much lately tbh trying to stay lower carb)
Cheese quesadillas, plated up with sour cream, rice, beans, salad and salsa
Primavera style red sauce over pasta / cauliflower with all the veggies (zucchini, mushrooms, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, red peppers etc.,)
Indian-ish curry style chick peas, lentils, spinach, and roast cauliflower platter nom nom with garlic naan OMG I usually only ever make a couple of those things at a time, bit now I want to eat all the Indian food lol
The Buddha bowl thing with marinated tofu cubes are a great thing to have on hand in the fridge. They can microwave a bowl of brown rice and a little peanut sauce, then buid it themselves with the tofu cubes, cucumber, tomato, shredded carrot, sprouts etc and too with sesame seeds / crushed peanut. The peanut sauce is actually mostly cooked up and blended CARROT, seasoned with ginger, soy sauce, red pepper flakes (or not) and then a decent dollop of actual peanut butter. Zomg sooooo good.
Roasted veggies (yellow and green squash, eggplant, peppers) over rice
Fajita platter with strips of pepper and onion, with or without mashed tofu+ taco seasoning and finely chopped onion, black and tortillas, all the fixings

@gingermama29 those apple potholders are adorable!
Forgot to take a photo yesterday of the treats I made for church today. There was chocolate cream cheese brownies and lemon poppy seed loaf. My bread maker baked me a loaf of bread yesterday also.
Next time I create something I will remember to take a photo. Crafty with food and other things;)
