by Jailah
During this quarantine, I was doing a lot of thinking.. Why do I keep eating outside food, why not start cooking homemade food? So I have made a lot of concoctions to make my quarantine a bit easier.

by Temil
Over the quarantine, I have been trying different activities that I once wasn’t into before. One of those happens to be cooking. I told myself that it’s about time I learn how to cook. If you know me, you know I’m not big in the kitchen lol. Anywho, one day I had decided that I wanted to try to make one of my favorite meals. I always get my mom to cook this for me. That meal happens to be spaghetti. I’m not sure why, but I love spaghetti. I don’t know if it’s the noodles or the sauce lol. Furthermore, let me take you step-by-step how I make and like my spaghetti (with the guidance of my mom lol).

Me and my friends have started doing cooking challenges together. We look at what is trending on social media so that we can have something fun to distract us from COVID 19. I personally am not a great cook. There have been times that I almost burned the apartment down from just boiling water (which I know is tragic). The challenge that I’ve had great success with is crepes. I personalized the recipe by spreading nutella and adding sliced strawberries after following the directions. Cooking is very therapeutic for me because I can take my time doing it whenever I want. These easy to follow recipes have been making me feel healthier. I used to buy a lot of ready to microwave food or tons of frozen food, which explains why I was taking 7 hour naps. Now, I can get by a whole day without taking any naps.

...I don’t have much time… I really don’t. Dear earthlings, I have found it. Finally, I have found what we’ve been looking for all these years. After traveling throughout strange lands, different matters, and meeting different people, it is a pleasure to inform you that I have finally found it in this quarantine time after all those failed experiments. Through the magic and intelligent window, a stranger told me the rules I had to follow and so I did. Let me tell you something about this treasure. You have to make your own, otherwise, it’s not going to work. I was following the rules, but something inside of me told me that something wasn’t quite right. I started mixing things up until I got the perfect mystical mixture we all have been craving for. The following are the seven (perfect number) ingredients to a whole new fantasy.
Read MoreBreakfast Sandwich
by London
The recipe I have is for a delicious sandwich that my mom makes. What you'll need is:
Butter, Bread, Toaster, Maple Bacon, Eggs, Cheese, Strawberry or Grape Jelly, Syrup
First, you should toast your bread. You can do this on the stove with the butter, or you can toast it and put the butter on that way. Then, you are going to start cooking your bacon. 2-4 strips should be more than enough for one sandwich. Next, you are going to make your eggs. You can do so much with your eggs. You can add salt and or pepper or no salt and or pepper, cheese or no cheese, but they have to be scrambled. I just like mine basic with just scrambled eggs and cheese.

by Camal Ali
There’s something euphoric about a hot meal, like a warm hug extended to the stomach. Ahhhh… you gotta love comfort food. From the satisfying colors that brush the taste buds, and to the nap that follows. It is the only food to sing to me as the mermaid sings to the sailor. I say to you, thank you and amen.

by Shae
This recipe is very special to me because it’s my sister's recipe. I was going to mention her name, but she doesn’t like publicity. However, I can say that she does a very good job at making this pasta. I chose her recipe because it’s one of my favorite meals that she makes. It’s so good that we have it at least twice a month. Since being on quarantine, this meal has outdone the cafe so many times. The warm mixture of the Alfredo and shrimp combined is a wonderful smell, image, and taste.

I hope you and your family are okay. I know we are living hard times, but we need to be positive and follow all the instructions to keep us safe, taking care of our health and our loved ones.
I wanted to tell you that I was looking at Tik Tok and found the recipe for the Dominican drink ¨Morir Soñando¨ I really love this drink and I know, if you try it, you are gonna love it too. I wanted to share it with you. The drink is basically made from three ingredients. It is recommended for summertime because it is a cold drink. Also, this delicious drink can be for both children and adults.
Read MoreDear Diary,
During quarantine, I've been trying to stay healthy and feed my body with fruits and vegetables. I've also been working out because I've noticed that if I just stay in one place, it's not healthy for my body. Moving around and eating healthy has been the way for me. I told my mom to buy fruits and vegetables so we can start making juices and smoothies. My go-to smoothie after my workouts is called a Strawberry Smoothie. I enjoy it so much because strawberries are my favorite fruit and it’s a healthy choice.
A Taste of Smoothie
by Aniyah
Something that I have really enjoyed while on quarantine is learning new recipes. Something new that I have enjoyed is this strawberry/ banana / mango smoothie.
What you would need is frozen fruit. They don't have to be the ones I chose; any frozen fruit of your choice will do.
Also, you need a blender (small or big)
Yogurt or milk of your choice
And honey (for a natural sweetener )
Ingredients:
-2 slices of bread per sandwich, preferably a kind of bread that holds well, but isn’t too thick or thin (brioche depends). Honestly, just use any bread you want. I don’t have the time, nor the crayons, to explain bread science.
-Any sort of cheese that’s yellow/orange, you can use the regular ones in the plastic wrappies, but I like to feel special and use fancy organic valley cheese. Of course, you do have freedom of cheese.
-Butter (maybe one with a picture of Paula Deen on it, but we don’t discriminate against vegan butter)
-A camera. To really do it the authentic way, don’t use an actual camera, just pretend there is one and you are filming a youtube video
Read MoreRecipes Slowing Covid
by Marlow
A recipe that comes to mind over the entire pandemic would be a brew that my father stumbled upon when he was looking at posts through facebook. There were times when I would awake and smell something from the kitchen that did not seem right in the slightest. Keep in mind my father and my father alone is the only one who makes the concoction, and for good reason. For one, I have never seen him prepare anything besides dishes that he learned from back home in Nigeria, so to see him prepare a beverage was something to witness. My mother is the Martha Stewart of the household and he could probably give her a run for her money. Not to get too off track, the brew that my father makes does not have a formal name to my knowledge. The main and constant ingredient in this refreshment has to be ginger, and ginger root to be precise. To begin the creation of this beverage, you must bring a medium size pot of water, bring it to a boil, and add the sliced and/or minced pieces of ginger root.
