It’s hard not to get bored during quarantine. Staying at house for long hours, days and weeks, being unable to go out with your friends and family could be so depressing and also overwhelming sometimes. After a while you lose the track of time and everyday seems same to you, it felt like March lasted for three months to me. Well, despite all these disadvantages, you should look at the positive side of it. We got a chance to entertain ourselves in new ways or get a new hobby, like cooking! I personally cook for fun but it seemed so exhausting to me when I was going to school so I ate what my parents cooked or ordered from several places. Now, I have plenty of time to learn new recipes and experience new tastes so I just wanted to tell you what I have cooked so far, I hope you enjoy it ;)
Banana Filled Pancakes
First of all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and the most enjoyable one to have for me. Since I care so much about it, I try to prepare it with a great care but it could be boring to eat the same meal every morning. To solve this, I prefer experiencing new recipes like this, banana filled pancakes. If you are a pancake lover, you should definitely give it a try and pamper yourself.
Omelette
Well, everyone knows how to crack an egg, at least I assume. It’s not hard to do actually, you just crack and cook it. I’m not into eating egg for breakfast, I should say that I used to dislike it. Now, it is my on-the-go meal, all I have to do is mix various ingredients. It doesn’t have a certain ingredients list so you can add everything as you like. I mix what I have at the time so every omelette is a new adventure, a different taste.
Egg Bread
This recipe is really special to me. Whenever I felt sick, I asked my mom to bake egg breads for me. Now I have the opportunity to do it myself so it makes me feel like a grown up. Isn’t it great to begin a cold winter day with egg breads which are fresh out of oven? The idea of it has already made me hungry :D
Banana Bread
If you haven’t eaten a banana bread before, you are missing a lot. It’s scrumptious but also simple at the same time. You will be surprised if you knew how easy it is to do. A slice of banana bread, a cup of coffee and your favorite show: magnificent trio. You can eat it for breakfast as you like.
Mac & Cheese
Mac & Cheese is a dish of cooked macaroni pasta and a cheese sauce. There a plenty of recipes on the net so it would be confusing and hard to choose the right one. You can cook it in different ways and pick your favorite one among them. I’m still learning new recipes, haven’t decided the one who fits the most.
Focaccia
Focaccia is a flat oven-baked Italian bread. It reminds me of pizza, they are quite similar actually but focaccia is fluffier and has less ingredients. Pizza has a private part of my heart, always will have but who says you can’t try new tastes, right?
Brownie
Moving on the next recipe, my favorite one. To be honest, it isn’t not that easy to cook and takes practice, even I tried it several times but couldn’t cook it evenly. The key is to not give up, keep trying until you achieve perfection.
Cookies and Cakes
I find it more logical baking your own dessert than buying junk food. Whenever I long for something sweet, I surf on the net and choose a recipe. Lemon cookies, brownie cookies, coffee cake, sponge cake and more… The more time you spend in the kitchen, the more you examine the texture, smell and spices. When you know how to cook, you gain independence. Small steps you take everyday can lead you somewhere pleasant and free someday.
