Quarantine Recipes
As the entire world battles the COVID-19 pandemic and stays indoors, our team has found ourselves cooking a lot more. During quarantine, we have found comfort in video chatting with loved ones and sharing recipes with one another. We have cooked and baked everything from whole wheat banana peanut butter chocolate chip muffins to homemade pizza crust with various toppings. We have shared these recipes with our foodie friends in hopes of spreading love through delicious food.
