I live in NYC and came to SoCal before the virus hit bc my bf works here for a month every year. So we’re self isolating in LA and we are WFH in a studio, all my meetings still start on Eastern time but once I’m done with my calls, I can work outside in the balcony - something I couldn’t do in NYC! Also, have been trying out new recipes. This is a naan breakfast pizza I had this morning. Super yummy!

OP: add a box of vanilla pudding mix to your banana bread batter. Will take it to another level. Keeps it super moist too.
