March Favourites

Hey guys

Can you believe it is already April?? Feels like only yesterday I was getting ready for Christmas. But here are all the things I've been loving for the month of March.

Face wash.

I've been using the scrub pretty much everyday for about three weeks and I love it. It's super gentle making it good to use everyday, leaves my skin so smooth and I've really noticed such a differences in my skin. You can buy it from Avon for £4.00 but it is currently half price at £2.00

Food 

It wouldn't be a favourite without food making an appearance. Mini eggs are my absolute favourite sweet. But it's sad they only come out around Easter. You can generally pick these up for around a £1

Blush 

I've had this blush for a while (as you may be able to tell) and I'm glad I picked it for my first ever blush. It is very pigmented and lasts on the cheeks for such a long time and does a great job of giving you the pinched cheek look. It's by MUA and it cost £1.00

TV/ film

I'm about 9 years late for this programme but I found Veronica Mars and totally became obsessed with it and then the movie came out which gave me my fix. I urge anyone who has yet to see it to go watch it this instant...well after you finished reading this post.

Book

I've read a ton of books this month, watch out for reviews coming soon. But my favourite would be Bernie Nolan -Now & Forever. Such a heartbreaking story.

YouTuber

I've always known about Judy, Benji and Jb from seeing them in the Sacconejolys videos who I love. So I decided to give Itsjudyslife a go and I love their little family which has grown with the arrival of their twin daughters. It's nice to see the children grow everyday & if you like the Sacconejolys then you will like Judy and her family.

Recipe: Bacon Layanaise

Hey

I haven't done a recipe post in forever & seeing how it's winter I figured a nice comfort meal was needed, plus it uses very few ingredients. :)

Ingredients You Will Need:

Bacon - 10 Slices (or more depending on how many is eating it) I'm using unsmoked bacon but you can use what ever bacon you like

Onion - Chopped

Potatoes - Sliced

Bay leaves - 4. The bigger they are, the easier they are to find.

Lamb Stock - 2 cubes 

Carrots - Chopped.

Equipment You Will Need

Frying Pan/s

Casserole dish or some sort of deep dish

Measuring Jug

Method:

Pre-heat your oven to Gas Mark 6

1) Start off by cutting up the bacon and place it around your dish.

2) Add 4 bay leaves on top of the bacon

3) Chop up the onion and plonk it into your frying pan.

4) Slice the potatoes and satuee them along with the onion until they are lightly brown OR the potatoes are soft. 

NOTE: I use two pans to fry the potatoes as there is three of us eating it and the pan can get a but crowded and they don't soften as well.

5) When they have gone brown or soften, transfer them to the dish laying them over the bacon & bay leaves.

6) Next you will need to add the stock so put the two stock cubes into the measuring jug and add 6oz of water (you can use more depending on if you like a lot of juice.

7) Pour over the stock and put the dish into the oven at the top and cook for 45 mins turning half way through.

8) While your dinner is cooking you can start boiling your carrots and they should be ready at the same time as your dinner.

9) You will know when it's done when the potatoes have gone brown and the stock is bubbling.

10) Take out the bay leaves as you don't want to be eating them. Serve and dig in :)

Let me know if you try out this dish. I highly recommend it as it's super yummy.

Happy eating

XOXO
