Episode 9 What's Cooking in Our Quarantine Kitchens

Episode 9: What’s Cooking in Our Quarantine Kitchens

We find ourselves cooking at home more (if you have kids at home with you they need to eat all the food and snacks!) and that means we want some variety in our meals and routine.  Anyone else FINALLY cooking all the things we’ve pinned on Pinterest, or saved on Facebook or found on the internets? There have been some hits…some misses…and many adaptations in our kitchens for sure! Teaching kids to cook is teaching them life skills (along with good home economics lessons if you throw in conversations on budgeting, meal prep, planning and grocery shopping). We both are thankful that we can do a mix of cooking meals and doing takeout from our favorite restaurants. We can’t wait for the day when we can go to places (again)!

What are you cooking in your quarantine kitchen? What are your favorite recipe sources? We’d love you to share photos and recipes for what you are making and eating with us! Add them in the comments here on YouTube, or on Facebook or Instagram!

Here’s that fancy bread Michelle made:

Michelle’s Lentil Salad:

Cook lentils according to package directions, you can add flavor depth by using some broth along to the water that is called for.

Add roasted veggies at room temp (or chilled) 

Roasted veggies like onion, potato, peppers, brussels sprouts, squash, zucchini, etc whatever you are into. Add salt, pepper, herbs to taste. 

Any cold veggies work - I have done this with cucumber, tomato, kalamata olives, feta, pickled red onion.  Toss with a vinaigrette, I like any of these:
