Best Easy Recipes-Quarantined approved

As I promised, from everything I have shown you on IG stories during this quarantine, here are the best easy recipes we have done so far. I would love to brag about my chef skills but let’s be honest, Bobs is the one that takes his cravings to reality. We don’t live cooking something new every day, instead, we had received some recipes from family and friends and others we have seen them and saved them for weekends or for when we want a quick spin to our daily menu.

Just to be clear, these recipes already include our personal touch, as for flavor or improvising on ingredients. Comment down below which one is your favorite or any other recipe you want us to try.

Have a yummy quarantine
