What are some dinners you’ve made during Quarantine?

I like to make mac and cheese, with fish

crackers and sadness

I live alone, so I mostly eat frozen meals, but I have made myself a meatloaf, and had roast carrots and mash with it, and I also made a pot of chicken veggie soup. Both meals were enough to have for a couple of nights and then I portioned them and froze them for later, as I don't want to eat the whole thing night after night until it is done. I really like your ideas, and some of the ideas from the other people as well, and am making notes so that I can try some other things. Frozen gets boring after a while.

Corned beef and cabbage on night, followed by 8 quarts of corned beef and cabbage soup in the freezer. Whole roasted chicken one night, followed by chicken soup. Prime rib one night-no leftovers for soup on that one. Several casseroles. Roasted pork over beds of fresh veggies. Pulled pork in the crockpot. Mongolian beef ribs in the croc pot. 

And that was just the first month. In the second month? We're eating soup. 

We've been eating well. I made a zucchini lasagna one night, and we salvaged the used and leftover sauce and cheese to serve over linguini the next evening. There was still sauce leftover, so my wife made a macaroni casserole with the sauce and topped it with some shredded cheddar. Sunday we had fried shrimp and fries takeout from our favourite local seafood house, and tonight hamburgers with Iceberg lettuce wrappers (no cheese). We also have bean soup and tomato chilli with ground beef in the fridge for whenever.

The guy at my house who can't cook but does constantly burnt stuff on to a pan. It took him 3 hours to do it too. The day before that he burnt stuff onto a pan and spilled stuff all over the oven. Then he chopped into the counter top and warped the countertop by leaving water on it.

It took one fat hillbilly, 2 months of quarantine, and 3 episodes of Master Chef to absolutely destroy a kitchen, and throw out half the food he cooked anyway. The fridge is the next to go b/c he puts pans in there still on fire.

I'm glad you're having fun b/c when I try to microwave a pizza, with a lifetime of cooking under my belt, I walk into a disaster complete with a fat guy making a facial expression as if he's thinking "I wash myself with a rag on a stick."

I've made soups four times, chicken, beef vegetable, split pea and New England clam chowder. Going to make lentil soup tomorrow. I make a large recipe and we have gotten 1-2 dinners plus a couple of lunches out of each batch. I've made steaks (had tenderloin filets tonight), pork chops, roasted and baked chicken, a beef roast or two, a nice stir fry with veggies and shrimp, stuffed shells, various types of pasta with marinara or meat sauce, hashes made with corned beef and kielbasa, burgers, pierogies with onion and Italian sausage...

And in spite of all this good eating, I've managed to lose 20 pounds since early March and keep it off. Also eating plenty of fruit as snacks, haven't had any candy or ice cream in over two months, really limiting the sweets.

My wife won't let me cook anything in the house. Some crazy MFs in the neighborhood are calling the cops when people barbecue, crying about their asthma .I'm going to sneak and bake a 12 inch cookie when she goes out.

I eat like a healthy-minded vegetarian, only minus the added sugars and plus non corn-fed animal products.

AKA extremely healthily.

That didn't change because of the pandemic.

We're eating pretty much normally, although we're using up the leftover Easter ham that we put in the freezer. We've used that for fried rice and quiches, which benefit from the ham flavor but don't require a lot of ham. But we're only feeding two people, so that doesn't take a lot of food. It must be hard for the larger families if the parents are out of work right now.
