This year, because of coronavirus, everything is different. Many of us have a lot more free time on our hands.

What have you been doing with your new free time?

I have been doing a lot of cooking!

Usually, I don't cook very much. I live in New York City and usually eat at work. I sometimes get home very late and I don't want to cook.

But recently, I have been cooking a lot! I am cooking up a storm!

Today I cooked Funfetti cupcakes and cake (yellow cake with sprinkles inside). I LOVE Funfetti. It is my favorite cake to have on my birthday!. I bought a lot of vegetables this week so also made kale chips. They were so good that I ate the entire plate for breakfast! 

Last week, I made a big batch of ziti from scratch. I used A LOT of cheese :0)

I also made chicken bacon ranch flatbread (kind of like pizza). It was actually really healthy!

I made a big batch of veggie....something? I don't think it has a name. It's my ~* creation *~ I used eggplant, beans, asparagus, tomatoes, and gochugaru sauce. It tasted delicious over white sticky rice! There is still a lot of leftovers in my freezer....

I had a craving for nostaligc food. When I was young my grandmother would always make pickeld eggs when she came to visit in the summertime. It was a strange craving that was out of the blue. But I had bought too many eggs, so I decided why not try it? They were so good! It reminded me of my childhood summers, even though it is kind of a weird food....



Have your cooking habits changed in the last few months? Do you have more free time? Do you have less free time?

Stay safe and happy! ~
