Hello hello and Happy Saturday!

I hope your weekend is off to an absolutely lovely start! We spent this past week getting settled after vacation and kicking off our summer break at home. Enjoying a couple days of beautiful weather this weekend before a nasty heat wave hits next week! I hope you have a fabulous couple of days!

On Brown Eyed Baker This Week

Jalapeno Poppers – Making jalapeño poppers at home is wonderfully simple and only requires THREE ingredients! This is the perfect crowd-pleasing, easy appetizer; whether you're having a cookout, watching a game, or hosting a party, everyone will love these.

What I Bookmarked This Week

I’ve made Golden Grahama s’mores bars (linked above under 2012), and I loooove the addition of peanut butter cups in these golden grahams smores bars with peanut butter cups.

Planning to try this ginger peanut chicken with coconut rice and use chopped almonds instead of peanuts.

These honey sesame chicken bowls sound like an easy, light summer dinner.

So intrigued by this grinder pasta salad!
