We're eating a lot more baked sweets. Tasty, but not good for the belly. Drinking a bit more, too, especially wine. I used to run every morning, WTH has happened to me. haha

Stay safe everyone! Things will get better!
same here, former runner, now I drink more, actually eating less, but trying to get back into the previous healthful routine. It's hard, but have to say, it's fun.
In general I am trying to cook things that stretch out the ingredients. So instead of steak, use the meat to make beef barley soup and such. (not specifically). Also trying to add more beans to our diet, which is good for you anyway.
It's much more of a balancing act when cooking, but I kinda enjoy the challenge.
It's like a very private, very slow moving cooking competition.
This made me laugh. Yes, we're like that, too -- all of what you wrote.
Also, somehow, dry roasted peanuts, lightly salted, slipped under the tent flaps and have become our go-to treat for when we want a nibble.

I am not a dessert eater as a rule, but now catch myself looking for something sweet almost every morning as I get my coffee.
We ate out a lot - most of of the time - before the pandemic. Now we are eating mostly at home and eating a whole lot more baked potatoes and more steak. More steak because when I went to Costco to stock up weeks ago, the more expensive cuts of meat were all that were left. There was not a chicken to be found at that time!
I have baked cookies twice. I am not a big baker normally. It just seems to me that we both crave comfort food now. I keep flour, sugar and butter around, but have few special ingredients for baking. I used an entire tub of rolled oats in my oatmeal cookies!
You know, even with plain baking, when you use butter and real vanilla, you get a better product than when you buy from the store. The oatmeal cookies (Joy of Cooking) called for an unusual amount of vanilla. I think that amount makes the cookies especially tasty.

Nothing like homemade cookies! You prob. won't want to go back to store bought after this.
Cocktail peanuts. I didn't order them this time in an attempt to cut back.
