Episode 24: What's Cooking in the Quarantine Kitchen, Part 2
When the pandemic started it seemed \u201cnovel\u201d to return to cooking and preparing more meals at home. Cook with the family, have some fun. Well, fast forward to fall, and we are still at home more than going out; and if you have kids at home it seems like they still eat all.the.time. We figured out that each week is 42 meals (if you eat 3 a day, not counting snacks) on top of work and everything else - who has time for it all???\xa0
In today\u2019s episode we talk about what we have been making and some resources that are \u201cgo to\u2019s\u201d for us. Do you need a recipe to follow or can you walk into the pantry and just find things to experiment and make? Michelle\u2019s secret to the latter is Google & Pinterest. Type what you have and search for what comes up and scroll until you find something you like. Michelle\u2019s goal has been not to make the same thing twice. Not as easy as it sounds!\xa0

Our tip for cauliflower rice is to prepare \xbd cup brown or white rice as the package suggests (subbing broth of any kind for water for more flavor in rice). Heat a skillet with olive oil until it shimmers and some fresh minced garlic (at least a clove) and frozen cauliflower or grated fresh cauliflower \u201crice\u201d & season with salt and pepper. Cook until it has some golden color and mix with rice.\xa0
