The quarantine is changing how families look at traditions and routines, and the result usually gets them thinking outside of the box. After weeks of people panic-buying paper rolls and other essentials, it already seems like the world has come to a tipping point. It might be a good idea to treat this as a holiday in the comforts of home, which can bring back relief in the pandemic.

There are still a lot of ways to make Easter just as memorable during the quarantine, and what better way to spend it than to host an indoor Easter egg hunt? Coloring Easter eggs is favorite activity kids can do indoors! When you're done with the design, you can either put it up as decoration or even host an Easter egg hunt with your family.

If you're a person of faith, in particular, there are other ways to celebrate the rise of Christ. If you have cable or a Smart TV with a stable Wi-Fi connection, try and Livestream a church service! Masses from all across the globe are streamed through YouTube at different times of the day. You and your family can still attend mass in your pajamas.

For a lot of us, why not try and whip up some culinary works of art? Well, we can start with these pieces of advice!

When doing the grocery, keep an eye (or rather, nose) out for spices. Food Network host Anne Burrell suggests adding herbs, bay leaves, oregano, and ground spices to add a little more flavor to the dishes this quarantine. Don't forget to bring a grocery list-with some contingencies, of course. Imagine preparing all the ingredients for the meal and not being able to make it. Just in case, think of a backup recipe to curb last-minute panic. 

Now, the instinct this Passover must go along the lines of cooking a bit of a feast as well. Why not scale down the dishes? This can not only save time but resources as well. Remember to keep things simple this Holy Week. Another advice is to choose against complicated recipes. In an interview with TODAY, Michael Schulson said that if you combine elements of sweet, salty, spicy, acidic, and texture, you're generally going to have a good thing.

If dessert is on your mind, go for it! Just be sure to prepare the baking essentials like flour, eggs, milk, and baking powder. During quarantine, you can afford to experiment with the recipes and get the kids (if any) involved. The idea is to have fun with whatever you're whipping up.

After the party, you might just want to throw in the towel and call it a night. Before you pat yourself on the back, you might want to consider prioritizing leftovers for a change. You can use the leftover ham for soup or the chicken bones for stock. That way, you'll have an easier time preparing the meals in the coming weeks.

When the family feels like settling for some takeout, it is fine to order in. So long as these businesses follow social distancing procedures, dial that number!
