Even though we are home more, it doesn’t necessarily mean we have more time to cook.

With homeschooling and less distraction-free space to work, my days are busier! Let’s not forget that grocery shopping isn’t as easy or safe as it once was and ingredients we took for granted, aren’t readily available anymore.
