Now that we’re in quarantine, eating and food have become pretty different for my family. Before quarantine, my family didn’t eat out very often but now we eat out even less often and whenever we do eat out, we have to go through the hassle of putting all of the food on the table in the backyard and bring out clean plates to dump the food onto so that we can attempt to avoid contracting the virus. We try to support local businesses as often as possible but its hard with the virus going around.

Most of the time, my mom makes dinner for us using groceries we bought. She’s been making dinner for us every night for my whole life but lately, she’s been exploring new recipes and foods to try now that we have more time to dedicate to making it. My mom has been making this AMAZING sourdough bread and it’s absolutely fantastic!!

I too have been exploring new things when it comes to cooking. I’ve baked cookies, cakes, lemon bars, and muffins. All which have been amazing. Oddly enough, I don’t seem to eat as much as I used to before quarantine. I still eat 3 meals a day but I don’t eat many snacks like I used to which is odd because I thought I’d be eating more due to boredom. This quarantine has been a great opportunity to explore baking and cooking and its helped me find some really delicious recipes which I likely wouldn’t have found before.
