Cooking under Quarantine

Image
On March 5th, my office asked all employees that could work from home to work from.  Within weeks with shelter in place announced, and schools/university closed, our family of four started our stay at home routine. At the 3 months mark, I thought it will be fun to record what we have been cooking/eating and how making infrequent trips to the grocery store impacted our cooking.  Looking at all the food photos for last 3 months, It was easy for me to categorize everything we cooked and ate into following categories 1. Comfort food, quick and simple -  This is the first category of dishes, each one we have likely cooked multiple times. These are the dishes I resorted to when I did not have time to plan in advance and needed to quickly get something on the table. Many of these dishes are using ingredients I usually keep a good stock of in the pantry. From top (L to R) - Pesto pasta with tomatoes, Noodles with Tofu and vegetables, Pasta Puttanesca, Beans and Rice with salsa, guaca
