The Weekend Dish: 8/22/2015
Happy weekend to you!
I hope you’re enjoying these waning days of summer… I find it so hard to believe that kids are already back to school in many places and we’re only two weeks from Labor Day. I’ve enjoyed another summer of mostly mild weather, but I’m always eager to usher in the cool fall days that call for hoodies, blankets and hot chocolate.
As always, you’ll find a recap of what was posted to the site this week, the most shared recipes, my Sunday dinner menu, and recipes I’ve bookmarked from other blogs. Enjoy!
On Brown Eyed Baker This Week
Strawberry Pretzel Salad – The nostalgic dessert that is nothing like a salad, but the very best of sweet and salty combinations!
Zucchini & Orange Marmalade Muffins with Cranberries and Pecans – These muffins have been a breakfast favorite this week – bright flavors and lots of texture.
Fudgy Pudgy Brownies – These have catapulted onto the short list of my very favorite brownies recipe – they are fabulous!
No-Bake Mango-Coconut Cheesecake – An easy, Paleo-friendly no-bake cheesecake topped with ribbons of mango.
Friday Things – News, podcasts, videos, makeup and more…
