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.

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 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.
