Shaz by the Sea

What a perfect day for baking and cooking, am I right??! The snow was so pretty. The kids were home on school vacation. We’re just living our best lives over here. :) I made a few different dishes - Jim’s Uncle Roland sent over some recipe suggestions for me. I made a cheese ravioli with London broil in the crockpot (mainly for the boys). And I made a French onion soup for me and Jim.  Hahahahaha I just now realized I made “London” broil and “French” onion soup hahaha London and France….😂😂 I also baked yet another banana bread because the boys literally fly through it.  I have some videos on my TikTok if all my recipes! :) And here’s the London broil, with the cheese ravioli from Bella Ravioli in Medford. My dad loves that place.  Both dishes were so yummy; such great comfort foods for winter! Hope everyone has a great weekend. Stay warm   TGIF, Shaz 

Guys.  You NEED to try this bacon jam recipe.   I have been wanting to try this for a while and I figured today would be a perfect day since it’s Sunday (of a long weekend!).  It’s from Gordon Ramsay’s website and is great for 1-2 people. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.  Oh and I also cut my hair off because it was bothering me. Haha weekends are so fun!  You can watch my version of it on my TikTok .  Enjoy!!!
