During quarantine, Trés reached out to his high-school teacher and they decided to have a Bake-Off. One Friday afternoon they were both supposed to post on Facebook their bread creations. The rules were that it had to be edible and sculptural. Trés gathered inspiration from the children's book and movie Where the Wild things Are. Now, here’s the caveat: while said teacher baked bread regularly, Trés had never baked bread in his life! And to make matters worse, yeast was harder to find than toilet paper. Luckily, I did have the ingredients for cornbread.
This cornbread recipe is from a homemade cookbook I made one summer. The cookbook included all the recipes I made when loved one came to visit us in our summer home affectionately named Sweet Apple. Special times, simple times.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Place skillet in oven on 450 while mixing.
Melt butter in bottom of skillet.
Mix together all other ingredients, pour in hot skillet.
Cook in oven for about 20 minutes.
Serve with honey

We have several favorite dishes, but this is our latest, as we experiment with new things to cook during our extra time at home. We both loved this. It is especially good with hearty crusty bread dipped into garlic and olive oil.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the chopped bell pepper and onion and cook for 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Add garlic and spices and cook an additional minute.
Pour the can of tomatoes and juice into the pan and break down the tomatoes using a large spoon. Season with salt and pepper and bring the sauce to a simmer.
Use your large spoon to make small wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into each well. Cover the pan and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking.

What made a perfect quarantine recipe? In our opinion: Slow cooking (you’re home anyway, why not take advantage?). Soulful. Frugal. Nutritious. Traditional is a plus since we’re all craving connection.
So, we have the perfect one…borscht. In Ukraine, your borscht is like a fingerprint. Every household, and even each member of the household, has it’s unique variation. This recipe is an adaption of Genna’s beloved mother Elena’s version. We’re calling it ‘Rich People’s Borscht’ as the Ukranian versions usually eat more like a soup and our American version is so packed with goodies it eats more like a stew!
