Hello hello! Welcome to the weekend!

I hope that you had a great week and that you spend these next couple of days relaxing and enjoying whatever makes you happy!

On Brown Eyed Baker This Week

Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream – This homemade vanilla ice cream recipe is an absolute classic and deserves a spot in your freezer all year long. It's rich, creamy, and is packed with vanilla flavor; perfect for serving alongside your favorite desserts or enjoying on its own in a bowl with your favorite toppings.
