The Weekend Dish: 1/10/2015

Happy Saturday!

Are you all settled in to the new year? The polar vortex has returned and it has been downright frigid here in Pittsburgh, so we’ve been hibernating and waiting to see when our little guy is going to make his appearance. In the meantime, I’ve been going back and forth between playing around in the kitchen and curling up on the couch with a blanket and relaxing. What are you up to this weekend?

As always, you’ll find a recap of what was posted to the site this week as well as some bookmarked recipes from other blogs. Enjoy!

What I Bookmarked This Week

Recipes and posts from other blogs that I thought looked especially delicious and that I thought you would like, too:

Asian Sticky Slow Cooker Ribs (Oh Sweet Basil)
I love the slow cooker BBQ ribs recipe I discovered last fall, and I can’t wait to try this Asian version.

Easy Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings (Foodie with Family)
I have never wanted to dive into a plate of onion rings so badly. These look AMAZING!

Homemade Pizza Sauce (Use Real Butter)
There’s nothing better than homemade pizza, and I’ve been itching to try a different sauce recipe with a little bit of sweetness, and this looks to be just perfect.

Peanut Butter Explosion Cake (Inside BruCrew Life)
Obviously, this cake has my name written all over it!

Soft and Chewy Brown Butter Gingersnaps (Baker by Nature)
I can’t resist big, soft and chewy cookies… love the addition of brown butter!

Have a delicious weekend!
