The Weekend Dish: 12/10/2016
Hellooooooo! (always reminds me of Seinfeld!)
Are you shopping until you drop this weekend? I’m knocking out as many of my gifts as possible online, from the comfort of my couch. I’m hoping that I’ll only need to do one actual shopping trip, fingers crossed! Tell me what you’re buying and baking this weekend! Both of the boys got to sleep without much fuss and at a decent hour last night, so I did a little baking myself (stay tuned)!
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!

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:
I’ve still never had Mexican street corn, but this soup version is calling my name.
Creamy honey mustard chicken with crispy bacon is totally going on my January dinner menu!
These eggnog snickerdoodles are such a fun twist on the classic!
I’m dying over this milk & cookies cake – it’s stunning (and I’m sure, delicious!).
Alllll of the holiday flavors in these gingerbread bars with eggnog cream cheese frosting.
This skillet bean and cheese dip with pull apart bread is perfect football-watching food.
Have a delicious weekend!
thank you for all of these, very helpful this time of year, beautiful pictures too, late to even online shopping, so will have to start now and thanks for these ideas!
Peanut Butter Buckeyes recipe can you use almond bark instead
of chocholate chisps in your receipe and how much would you use of the almond bark . Hope you can help me . I sure like your recipe for the Peanut Butter Buckeyes recipe.
Thank you,
Yolanda
Hi Yolanda, I think the chocolate chips are a much tastier option, but if you want to use almond bark, you will need about 24 ounces.
I want to try the Peppermint Bark Hot Chocolate…the pictures of the boys are great. Is there an Ice Cream scooper you recommend?
Hi Maria, Aw, thank you! As for an ice cream scooper, I have a kind of generic one, but I have this one on my list to buy: http://amzn.to/2hnQ15H.
