My husband, Mike arrived just as the country shut down and we went into self-isolation. After not seeing my family for three months, I was excited about being on lockdown with them! While we used to meal prep every Sunday our routine has definitely changed to cook dinner together every night. Here is a recipe round-up of our favourite pandemic meals we’ve tried over the last little while.
I have been following Unboundwellness’s Instagram for a while now so I pulled up a bunch of recipes from her blog and we’ve been working through them.
Paleo Chicken Tenders and Baked Avocado Fries
I must say I thought the avocado fries were going to be really mushy but I think these are my new favourite meal sides.
I love this meal so much, I even prepped a whole bunch of freezer meals later in my pregnancy to have for when our twins arrive.
Sheet Pan Lemon Chicken and Asparagus
One-pan meals are so easy to make and definitely take the stress out of cooking.
I also headed out to a local organic farm (Leda Farm) one day and picked up fresh leeks pulled right from the ground. I had one extra white sweet potato so I used that and then drizzled coconut cream and black pepper on top.
And last but not least, I ordered Siete Taco shells from Naturamarket so we could whip up some tacos. We simply stir-fried ground beef or turkey, with onions, mushrooms and spinach, fresh avocado, and dairy-free cheese.
Happy Cooking Pandemic Meals!
