While we practice social distancing, many are stuck at home, cooking and eating while perusing social media. There’s time to do more in the kitchen than usual, so we asked our staff to share some of their favorite Quarantine Recipes. We will be posting them here in the coming weeks and hope they help fill both time and stomachs.

This recipe isn’t necessarily special (or original—I found it on Pinterest) but it is practical. And since I’m no cook, you know it’s easy to make, and really, really tasty!
It makes enough to last for several days, so it’s good for times like these.
I love Mexican food and this has all the right stuff in one dish, except guacamole! Which is a good side to have with it, along with some rice.
