Most of us just needed to find ways to be productive. Some people turned to become vloggers, writers (I would like to believe I became one), performers, and online sellers. These quarantine hustles have afforded us to keep our sanity and also something short of our old financial status, in the wonderful journey of staying at home. From crave to craze, here are 10 food that trended in the quarantine!

It has been a fortnight since I last wrote. And it has been the first time in my life that I missed writing.

Not that I’ve had enough with my boys at home, but I just look forward to being with my girls, for a change!
