Happy weekend to you!

Is it pouring where you live today? It looks to be a pretty rainy weekend here, but everyone is excited to celebrate Isabelle’s 7th birthday on Sunday!! I can’t believe our girl is already going to be seven, it all goes by in a blink. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

On Brown Eyed Baker This Week

1. Copycat Chipotle Chicken

2. Grandma's Banana Nut Bread

3. Classic Burger Sauce

4. Key Lime Pie

5. My Favorite White Bread Recipe

1. The Frozen River - By far, the most voted-for book when I asked everyone to weigh in last week on what my next read should be! I’m starting it tonight!

2. Wilton 101-Piece Cookie Cutter Set - I've had this set for nearly 20 years, and they have held up wonderfully! There are letters, numbers, and tons of different holiday and activity-themed cutters. A must-have if you love making cut-out sugar cookies!

3. My Friends – The new novel from Fredrik Backman, who wrote Beartown, which I read at the end of last year. This releases on May 6, 2025.

4. Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce - An ingredient that packs tons of flavor into the reader-favorite copycat Chipotle chicken recipe.

5. Ancho Chile Powder - Another ingredient that packs tons of flavor into the reader-favorite copycat Chipotle chicken recipe.

I bet my kids would love these for a quick dinner >> Italian grinder sliders

This no-bake chocolate chip cannoli cheesecake would make a perfect summer dessert.

It’s not fall, but how good does this sour cream apple cake look?

Ooooh want to try this milk and cookies icebox cake.

Have a delicious weekend!
