Quarantine cooking

With Covid 19 having us locked down for the last (going into) 8 weeks, we have been only cooking every meal. Needless to say, I’ve stock piled recipes to post. A friend of mine sent around a recipe exchange that I failed at doing, and instead sent a snapshot into what we’ve been eating.

Here it is (but I added a few recipes that I forgot I made!):

To make it up to you, figured I’d send a few recipes I’ve been making during the last 2 months:

This eggplant pasta has become very frequent, and neither of us liked eggplant: http://waxedbean.blogspot.com/search/label/Eggplant%3B%20pasta

This is a rif on a broccoli salad from Whole Foods that is fast and the bomb, I don’t candy my nuts but throw in whatever ones I have like cashews or pistachios: http://www.jemangelaville.com/2013/04/24/broccoli-crunch-salad-a-la-whole-foods/

Made this Tuscan pasta dish from canned goods with success: https://www.budgetbytes.com/tuscan-white-bean-pasta/

I’ve always made quesadillas without a recipe but this changed by mind: https://cookieandkate.com/quick-quesadillas-recipe/

Had lots of ricotta and too lazy to make lasagna: https://www.food.com/recipe/lasagna-in-a-skillet-in-about-30-minutes-321529

Made this to use up some random veggies and added chick peas: https://dishingouthealth.com/slow-cooker-vegetarian-tikka-masala/

Been making this spaghetti and clam pasta for a while now, so good, and I just used canned clams: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/spaghetti-with-clams-recipe-1941008
These potatoes were tasty: https://www.olivetomato.com/traditional-greek-potatoes-and-celery-cooked-in-olive-oil/

Made congee after our trip to Thailand and watching the porridge episode of Somewhere South: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018321-chicken-congee

I’ve made a few things from my blog I recommend that we have been making: fried rice!!, ramen, broccoli cheddar soup, black bean soup, breakfast bowls, salmon cakes, banana bread, pizza, carrot cake! http://waxedbean.blogspot.com

This deep dish pizza was perfect: https://food52.com/recipes/82857-crispy-cheese-pan-pizza-recipe

Love using up old bread with any version of a bread pudding or a veggie strata: https://smittenkitchen.com/2009/12/spinach-and-cheese-strata/

Mexican rice: https://www.yellowblissroad.com/authentic-mexican-rice/

Randomly got mangos in my Veggie box this week so going to make this tonight with shrimp or fish (since I don’t eat chicken anymore)- always a favorite in warm weather: http://waxedbean.blogspot.com/2011/05/published-with-blogger-droid-v1_25.html

Baking:
Emptying the freezer of frozen fruit into these muffins: https://alexandracooks.com/2008/05/20/i-love-david-archuleta/

Been loving beer bread when I have no patience for yeast rising or kneeding (make half portion and just mix in the baking pan): https://www.food.com/recipe/beer-bread-73440

Grocery store sent me pie dough so I made these and they were great with frozen spinach: https://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-spinach-and-feta-hand-pies-224543


Made these cookies a few times, and although very tasty, not as good as when my friend Vicki makes them.... maybe I’m being too stingy with my butter: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/dried-cranberry-and-chocolate-cookies



Random— Made pudding: https://www.spendwithpennies.com/chocolate-pudding/ and added some chocolate chips during cooling, that was nice
