Giving away excess or inviting others over to enjoy is often appreciated.

Do you have a blog? Or just writing something beyond regular writing can be quite rewarding. I never thought I was good at creative writing (stories, poetry, reflections, etc.) until I pushed myself harder to try. My photo taking skills have also improved over the years.

During good weather months, gardening can be a rewarding pursuit. Or even during cold months, caring for plants or arranging flowers is fun. I took several classes in flower arranging and only then realized how pleasurable that creative activity can be. Any kind of drawing, painting, sculpting, crafting, could be similar.

I agree with the others that volunteering can be rewarding.

If available near you, adult school classes, Meetups, free events/lectures, or college class auditing might appeal to many.
I don't mind cooking, but it isn't a hobby for me. When I do cook, I cook Indian food. I follow online recipes for Indian cooking since, well, I am not Indian and I don't know much about how to cook it. I just follow YouTube videos of people speaking in Hindu and put on the captions in English.

I could try cooking more, though. I don't cook very much nowadays. It'd probably be healthier and cheaper for me to cook, so that is definitely a great idea, BirdDancer.

And no, I don't have a blog. I'm not much of a blogger. I've tried in the past, but I've never stuck with it.

Gardening would be a decent thing to do for me. We have a garden at my complex that opens up in the springtime and you can plant your own stuff in there. You just have to pay to reserve a spot. (They make you pay because there are too many people who want to do it but don't actually follow through. So basically, these people take up resources they're not using, when other people could be using them. So, paying money is an incentive for people to do something with their mini plot of land.)

I do actually color from time to time, so that is indeed nice. I have coloring books.
