#QuarantineCooking Week 5 Meals
Another week, another week of #quarantine meals! This week we were grateful to eat a lot of leftovers from a feast my husbands Mother cooked for us, on Easter. We picked up several to go boxes of home cooked Guyanese food and it has fed us for most of this week. I am eternally grateful for family especially these days.
We celebrated Easter at home, just me and my husband. While we usually have a gathering with our families, this is one to remember to reflect on gratitude in difficult times. We have it VERY GOOD now, and continue to pray we all get through this together!
So that said – we had a lot of leftovers through out the week. Some we cooked here and there and ended the week night with some take out.
Week 5 of #QuarantineCooking:
Breakfast
I made a wonderful Matcha Banana bread last week, and have been snacking on it for breakfast with a clementine, most days this week.
I was feeling quite gluttonous this week (lent being over after all), and I remembered I was re-organizing my freezer the other day and saw I still had frozen Cinnamon Rolls! YES. So I reheated it for 25 seconds in the microwave – didn’t have any cream cheese frosting left over but it was still good without. Paired it with coffee and it was guuuud.
Lunch
So like I said, lots of leftovers from Easter, so I only posted two plates, whereby we probably 4 plates of leftovers during the week lol.
Dinner
Some good old easy recipes for dinner this week, plus a really good take out!
Dessert
I don’t usually post desserts, because I’m usually just eating cookies (or now, Girl Scout cookies because we got 8 boxes), but I make this every once in awhile because it is so good.
I ate really well this week, given that we celebrated Easter, lots of good leftover food and just eating when felt right to me. I definitely missed my carbs and rice, so I allowed myself to enjoy it because … rice is life! lol yeah I said that. Also, while I am going a bit over board on the Girl Scout Cookies, I love them and I only enjoy them once a year! Sooo y-o-l-o.
At the end of the day, although this quarantine has been a challenge for all of us, I am personally just grateful we have food to eat, we are healthy and we have jobs. Enjoy your weekend and hope you make some yummy food!!
Love,
