COVID-19 Movement Control – Day 7

Lunch: Pan-fried salmon with quinoa, roasted cherry tomatoes with parsley

The Universe received my vibration and sent more guardian angels to me. We received more food supplies today from brother in-law and sister. The fridge is full now. The leeks are for me to make fish stock that the TTDI seafood auntie taught me. Oh Yes … the stranger from FB group chat messaged me just now and offered her masks to me. I am so grateful for these beautiful people.

Remove the salmon and place the salmon on top of cooked quinoa, skin-side upMy friend said I have good food to eat during this MCO, so many variations. I only have the time to cook 1 dish meal, food high in protein and what I like to eat. At least, they get me excited to cook, take pictures and post them on my blog. Hopefully, it will give you some inspiration on what to cook during this MCO.
