30 Meals in 30 Days
We’re back on the social distancing grind and after the last two weeks, we need to remember that quarantine cooking isn’t all about carbs (yes, pasta – we still love you) and sourdough starters.
With the next 30 days (and maybe more) of social isolation on the horizon, we’ve put together 30 delicious, nutritious meals you can easily make at home. And trust us – there’s something for everyone. We’ve got creative breakfast ideas, lunches (that aren’t sandwiches), jazzed up salads, hearty dinners, and delicious desserts all at your fingertips.
And don’t forget – these aren’t the only recipes we’ve got! From one-pan dishes to veggie-based hors d’oevres, check the Recipes section of the FLIK Blog for more culinary inspiration! Be sure to read our Food Safety post too for information on storing, defrosting and prepping foods the proper way.
