Ep. 29 Cooking In Quarantine - a podcast by Sarah D. & Olivia J.

*SOUND NOTE: We apologize for the slight echo that can be heard from 1:10 to 4:30. It DOES go away, but we understand if you’d like to skip ahead to 4:30 to get past it.

Welcome BACK to the Peas of Mind Podcast! It's been a while, and a lot has happened since we've been away. From our own personal life changes to a global pandemic, it's been quite a year. What hasn’t changed is our passion for plant-based foods and cooking. Since most of us have been at home, we figured now would be as good a time as ever to pop into your feeds with a bit of joyful distraction, inspiration, and veg-cooking motivation!

In this episode, we talk about what we've been up to amid the pandemic, how our cooking habits have (or haven't) changed, new recipes we've tried, and staples we're sticking with as we try to avoid all cooking stresses in an already insanely stressful time.

If you’re looking to mix it up while you’re staying safe at home, here are some of the recipes we mentioned in the show:
