Just like you, we are always looking for ways to keep ourselves and our family busy and active as we adjust to the new normal of “Stay home. Stay healthy”. Every day we are giving you a list of 14 things to keep us sharp, in shape, stimulated, busy, or entertained during these unprecedented times. Do one a day for 14 days, or tackle the entire list at once. Just make sure to check back every day for something new.
If you’re looking for something fun to do to pass the time, here are 14 quick and inexpensive recipes to try from our very own Cathy Brorson, our Outreach Coordinator!

- Tropical Cobbler: Comfort food deluxe with a taste of the Islands!
- Calico Potatoes: This warm, creamy dish is the perfect accompaniment to pretty much everything!
- Goober Chicken: This comforting dish lives up to its name when you spoon out the lovely goobers of melted cheese and stuffing!
