My Pantry is Not Your Pantry

We know. Everyone panicked over toilet paper and then yeast. Who knows what next week will be. But there are real differences in food availability.

Food Rich

This is not my usual writing. I debated even posting it once it was written. But it helped me get in touch with my feelings and maybe it'll help someone else.

Quarantine Week 5 – Keeping the Menu Interesting

As we continue our exciting quarantine life, I continue to journal my cooking adventures. I love to cook and this has only given me more of an excuse to focus on it and share it.

Quarantine Week 4 – Still Cooking!

As we continue our lives in quarantine or what our state calls a stay in place order, I am finding new and creative ways to explore my love of cooking.

Put an egg on it?

I like eggs. Or, I used to. I love eggs. I have discovered eggs are one of those things I needed to take a second look at.

Smoked Pork Three Ways

So I smoked a huge chunk of pork. It was very good all on its own, but I decided to do a few more things with it.

Quarantine Week 3

We are making it through quarantine. This week we enjoyed what may be our last grocery pick up for a week or two...let's see if I can do it...

Quarantine Week 2

I love cooking and I love homemade food. Quarantine life has given me an opportunity to just go all in on this as we are now hesitant to even order take out.

Quarantine Week 1

I love getting creative with food. And I love homemade. Quarantine ,"Social Distancing", Stay in Place, Safe at Home...whatever they call it, its an opportunity for me to play with food! In our first week I made pineapple upside down cake, several new dinner dishes, brownies, and homemade burger and brat buns.
