The Instant Pot is Preparing me for a Post-Quarantine World
I never thought I needed an Instant Pot. When it seemed like everyone wanted one in 2016/17, I honestly didn’t get the fascination. To me, it just seemed like a lazy way to make meals, and one really didn’t require any skill or cooking know-how. So why would I, someone with an elevated interest in cooking and food, ever want to own one? But that was my old mindset.
Grilled Cheese with Apples and Apple Butter
Sanjeev I have been making a lot of grilled cheeses while home during quarantine, as an easy/few ingredient lunch or dinner meal. We've been trying different things to switch it up
Rosemary Focaccia
I've always wanted to try my hand at making homemade bread. I've made other doughy recipes before like cinnamon rolls, and Parker House rolls before with my dad, and figured there was no better time than when I had so much time at home with Sanjeev, to try baking some bread.
Cream Cheese Swirl Tart (Pie) With Chocolate Crust
Another fun Sunday baking project for Sanjeev and I. This one was a good one.
Cinco de Mayo/Taco Tuesday
Everything was very easy to make, there was just a lot to make. So I planned everything out, starting with the rice pudding and salsa the day before.
Spam Fried Rice
I used to stress so much over making homemade fried rice. But now that I've made it a couple of times, I've found a way to make to make it that I'm happy with. I thought this recipe would be perfect for quarantine since I just used a can of Spam
Buttermilk Biscuits
I was super happy with how these buttermilk biscuits turned out.
