Here is a little list of all the tabs that have been open on my laptop for the last 3 weeks of foods we have made, and want to make, mostly for my own memory (and so I can close those tabs!).



No Knead Bread - a HUGE success, so easy a great way to make the house smell amazing, and a great way to solve the 'we need bread' problem. I could eat the whole loaf slathered with grass fed butter... it's kinda a problem.
Cheddar Rosemary scones- I made these really early on in the self isolation days and they were amazing. What I REALLY wanted was the cheddar scones from Hidden House Coffee, but when I swung by to get some to go they were closed (this was the beginning of March, like the first day school was cancelled), so I went home and made my own!

Little tortilla babies ready to be rolled out. |
Home made tortillas - also SO easy! We use veggie oil as the fat and they are vegan (although we are not vegan). This recipe makes super tasty tortillas that you just want to snack on as they come out of the pan, but are also amazing as leftover burritos when the moisture from the beans soaks into them a little overnight :)


Super green Falaffel- I only picked this recipe because it had ingredients we had on hand (all the others had lots of stuff we didn't have and we weren't about to go to the store just for this one meal) and we added like 4 times as much parsley as the recipe called for. We also choose to make these because there was 6 year old whole wheat pita in the freezer, so we figured falaffel would make it a meal! They were pretty easy and tasty, another meal I could eat straight out of the pan.

These little guys turned into tasty naan. No pictures of the finished product because we devoured them. |


I've made this vegan banana bread like 4 times. It's so easy, all pantry staple ingredients and it comes out of the oven perfectly moist and just a bit doughy in the middle. I add walnuts every time, and chocolate chips once (although Brendan doesn't like it with the chocolate.
And on the first Sunday of quarantine I made lemon ricotta pancakes. Brendan has been on a ricotta buying kick since February, he swears by adding it to scrambled eggs, so we always have some in the fridge. The pancakes were soft and tasty topped with a spoonful of blueberry jam and maple syrup. They rivaled our favorite weekend breakfast of waffles.
That's all I can remember baking so far. There have been plenty of thrown together rando meals that have been equally amazing, but I can't put my finger on them now. I realize we are very lucky to have the ability to work from home, for me to have a job that still provides a paycheck, and to have a house to stay at home in (until May 15). As the rain comes down outside and blueberry lemon scones bake in the oven I am 100% aware of how fortunate we are. Although I don't get to have the spring break I imagined, and all the bike races are cancelled I'm enjoying the time with our little family + Nikki now :) trying to read more and look at technology less, and to enjoy the living daylights out of the kitchen we remodeled and have to walk away from on May 15.
Thanks for everyone who has shared recipes with me! I hope someone somewhere uses one of these recipes to brighten their stay at home day :)
