Having two newborns we were already staying close to home but now with everything that is happening with COVID-19, it’s not really a choice. Obviously it would be really easy for me to watch 16 hours or Netflix per day, but I think it would get old pretty quick. I’ve seen some great free resources online and thought I would share what I’ve come across. If you know of any others, please comment below!
COOKING
A great YouTube channel with vegan recipes. The best part about vegan recipes is you most likely will have what you need in your pantry. These recipes look delicious and I can’t wait to try a few.
On his Instagram the chef is hosting a live cooking class every day at 8pm. Perfect way to find new recipes and maybe learn a few cooking techniques.
