Here are some easy-to-make nutritious foods I’ve enjoyed preparing during my home-bound time. These offerings are meatless. I feel fortunate to have had these ingredients available locally.

I live in Central Massachusetts in the United States--a wonderful area for nature, art and culture. Using a compact camera, I celebrate daily life found here in a variety of local landscapes throughout the changing seasons.
Very lovely! I have been on an apple sauce kick lately. I’m using up some dried fruit, so I boil them first then add the apples. So delicious! I also add Chia seeds for some protein, and cinnamon. Now I need to check out your Power Puffs. 😊
I, too, am an almost butter gal. And in a pinch I’ve taken almond butter and water, blend it in the blender, and you have almond milk! I read that somewhere. It actually works pretty good!
Yum…I don’t think we’ve ever eaten so healthy as we have being isolated.

Eating mostly from the store cupboard can lead to a level of creativity we are finding. Thanks for these ideas.

Thanks! Me too-the applesauce seems so soothing. The Power Puffs are really good too. I use almond butter instead of peanut butter, though.
