Shabbat Menu 2.1.19
Hey there, Shabbat! It's been a nice while since I've posted a menu. But last week I got to experience a MaMenu with my mama and her mom and my sisters and father back in Montreal. Those meals were something else. Also, fun fact, my mom was a mealprep queen before it was even a thing. I mean ready sautéed veggies to throw over pasta, panini or toast. Caramelized onions and crushed garlic ready to go, for use any time, and a perfectly stacked refrigerator of containers. Ahhh No Place Like (childhood) #Home.
