The best foods to eat while you stay at home

By Ayden Ewell

Staying at home for the past few months has been a drag for all humans involved. It all started because of the coronavirus, people wanted to stay safe so now it’s taboo to go outside.

 

While staying at home can be boring, the part of it I’ve hated the most has been trying to get food. You can go grocery shopping but that will only earn you weird looks and perhaps a 2-week quarantine. You could have someone bring food to your front door but that gets costly and again they might bring you the virus. So all that’s left is using the food in your fridge to make something tasty. Easy right? I thought so too…

 

Now the first part of making some food is finding a recipe that you like, something that tastes good is easy to make and remember it has to be using stuff you could already find in your house. Well, that’s why I’m here to save you, readers, a bit of time.

 

I have four easy to make recipes that you could make using stuff in your kitchen!

 

First are the mac and cheese bacon cups. Personally, I’ve been eating macaroni and cheese all of my life so this one hits right at home. This recipe should take you about 3 hours and will yield 4 servings. You’ll need 2 packages of macaroni and cheese, ⅔ cup of milk, ⅔ cup of butter, 1 package of bacon, goat cheese, and sriracha.

If you have ramen this one is something you need to try: Balsamic Goat Cheese Stuffed Ramen Bun Sliders. It’s a big name with even bigger taste. It will require a package of four bee burgers, 4 oz of goat cheese, 1 teaspoon of parsley, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 2 eggs, 1 package of ramen noodles, salt, black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and vegetable oil. It will take 50 minutes to yield 8 servings.

Next is Pumpkin Chocolate chip bread, this one is delicious. It might be a bit trickier to get some of the ingredients and bake but it will be all worth it in the end. It will require 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, a stick of unsalted butter, 1 cup of canned pure pumpkin, ½ cup of granulated sugar, ¼ cup of packed brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, 2 teaspoons of grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and lastly, ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons of bittersweet chocolate chips.

Finally egg and avocado toast, It’s simple but it’ll get the job done in minutes. It will require ½ of an avocado, an egg, a slice of bread, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, a pinch of chili pepper (optional), and lastly a ½ cup of water. This should at most take ten minutes to make.
