My husband takes his lunch to work every day (you know, when he’s actually at work and not being quarantined in the house with me).  So I’ll stock up on things like lunch meat and cans of tuna for sandwiches.  But now that his schedule has changed (two weeks off, two weeks on), those stacked cans of tuna in our kitchen cabinet might come in handy if we’re ever in a pinch.

We’re pretty stocked up in the house for now.  I went to the grocery store last week to grab some other essentials to have in the house besides our Hungryroot deliveries.  We probably have enough food to last us the next few weeks.  After my last grocery store trip, I’d rather not have to head back anytime soon anyway.

That last grocery trip left me feeling pretty on edge. I took every precaution I could, but I couldn’t shake my anxiety the rest of the day. So until I absolutely have to go back again, I’ll stick with using ingredients sparingly, getting creative Chopped style, and cooking up what we have!
