    Hi Everyone,

    I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe during this time of social/physical distancing.

    What have you been cooking and baking lately?

    I have been cooking much more than usual with all the time in the house.

    I put together this list of the most reader searched blog recipes for the last 30 days.

    Here in New Jersey, it has been exactly 30 days since the schools closed. With the kiddos home all day, we are all cooking and baking much more. I'm sure many blog readers are in the same boat.

    Please let me know in the comments at the end of the post what you have been making at home.

    Do you have a go-to recipe during this time?

    I would love to hear about it.

    For me, making special coffee and tea recipes is a nice treat between homeschooling assignments and give me a little "me time," for example, the Dolgana Coffee Recipe in the list below is a must-try if you are a coffee lover!

    Please let me know if you would like to see a certain recipe shared on the blog for this time.

    I certainly have a list of recipes that I am trying to get through whenever I have time.

    The lifestyle changes are also affecting the way that I cook, for example, I am doing much more meal planning than I would normally do.

    Most dinners are planned in advance as opposed to spontaneous cooking. 

    Please share this post with anyone that might find it useful during this time. Enjoy the list below and stay safe!

    12

    Oatmeal Raisin Cranberry Cookies

    Cookies are wonderful because, much like cupcakes, they are individual – without any fussiness.  These Oatmeal Raisin Cranberry Cookies are wholesome cookies and though they have two kinds of sugar, they also have oatmeal, raisins and cranberries which are good for you.

It is as delicious as any coffee drink you can get at a coffee shop and easy to make at home too! Treat yourself to this simple and delicious Dalgona Coffee recipe!

    20

    No-Knead Oatmeal Bread

    Fresh baked bread is a far superior experience compared to commercially produced bread with all those additives and preservatives.  This recipe requires only 5 ingredients (flour, oats, yeast, salt and water – how pure is that?), a little handling of the dough and with minimal effort, the result is fresh bread – you baked yourself!
