Thanks for your fun challenge idea! It is nice to see what others would do and get ideas outside your own normal "box". I love me a good barley risotto! So I would go pepper/carrot/onion for vegi saute, then add barley and cook a bit in the oil only, then add some more olive oil for good measure, add some broth or water (no broth right now, so water at the moment), and bake for 40 minutes or so. Then stir in cheese! I am not familiar with this barley, does it require any prep in any way to use? Perhaps this is not really risotto...more barley-vegi casserole in one pot?

Sorry for the long delay in replying, I forget there is a little bell telling you there are replies! I just looked up yarn cozy, super darn cool! Thanks! 😊😍

I tried yogurt a while ago. Put it in little jars and stacked them in, so it was single-serve. Worked great and really easy!

They look fabulous! And I like that it is a smaller recipe. 😊 Thanks for sharing.

Oatmeal is excellent at any point in the day! You are a kind person with a big heart. 😊 Hope the new foster adapts quickly and enjoys their new surroundings.

I love that you roll your own oats! Now I want to try this. ☺️ One frugal thing I do often is to buy a bag of lemons which I zest and juice then freeze in small portions to use later! Though I think everyone does this.

Spaetzle recipe - https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/11793/german-spaetzle-dumplings/

I doubled the spaetzle recipe, did way more than double the peas, aged Gouda was 18 months. Would suggest more, it was still pretty soft. Also left out the nutmeg from the spaetzle.

Judged "pretty darn good" by my husband. 😊 🙄 As he finished off his 3rds.....

 

I've been playing around with bead crochet ropes and having fun, and now I don't want to work this morning. Definite danger of creative hobbies....

 

Playing around with a practice bag and found a cool strap that I thought should be shared. :-) Sorry the picture is sort of washed out, hope you can still see the fun detail on the strap.
