Recipes for Staying Healthy
Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, many people are looking for things to keep them busy around the house. Cooking healthy but great-tasting meals is one way to stay busy and in shape. Pinterest and Facebook are full of good recipes for people to try while staying quarantined. Below are some of my favorite healthy recipes.

Add all ingredients to the pan and stir till the shrimp is done.
