  Cooking during quarantine

  I’ve always avoided cooking in the kitchen with my mom and brother. I abhorred cooking and making a mess in the kitchen. Yet ever since quarantine, my opinion has changed. During the beginning of my quarantine, I made a list of goals for myself. One of them was to learn new recipes in the kitchen. I was a bit hesitant at first due to fearing mistakes and ruining the food I was preparing. I started off by making simple recipes: omelettes, pancakes and such. I made plenty of mistakes and got frustrated with myself, but mom was always there to encourage me and bring guidance. Then I began to make more complex recipes like seafood pasta and Mexican style costillas de puerco. Overall, it was a fantastic learning experience and I grew to enjoy cooking so much more than before! Here are some pictures of food I made recently (the pizza was kind of a fail, but my dad enjoyed it).
