Happy Saturday!

I hope you’ve all had a great summer week and are looking forward to the weekend ahead. We have a slow couple of days, so will be enjoying time at home and with family. Wishing you time doing whatever brings you joy! 🩷

On Brown Eyed Baker This Week

Friday Things #580 – A picture of summer, new books, road trips, scones, school supplies, getting started, TV, and more…

1. Copycat Chipotle Chicken Recipe

2. Refrigerator Bread and Butter Pickles

3. Traditional Key Lime Pie

4. Classic Burger Sauce

5. Grandma’s Banana Nut Bread

1. Large Square Jar – My very favorite jar for storing a batch of the homemade refrigerator bread and butter pickles!

2. Cole & Mason Salt and Pepper Mills – We recently bought this set for ourselves as we were badly in need of replacing our salt and pepper shakers. These are a bit of a splurge, but they’re gorgeous and would also make a fabulous gift!

3. Rubbermaid Brilliance Glass Food Storage Containers – I replaced most of our plastic tupperware with these glass containers a few years ago and I love them so, so much.

4. Magnetic Double-Sided Measuring Spoons – I had been meaning to add another set to my baking drawer and love that these also include a narrow side for easily getting into jars!

5. Indoor Plug-In Fly Trap – I have used this for the last couple of years (in fact just changed ours out last night); the amount of little fruit flies and bugs that it’s catches is amazing!

6. It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In – This has been my go-to leave-in conditioner/detangler for yearsssss.

7. Electric Flosser – Another one of the few things I purchased during Prime Day. I am planning to get it set up and use it over the weekend, I’ll report back on what I think!

8. Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray – This was one of my Prime Day(s) purchases… trying to give my thin, fine hair a boost!

9. Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner – I use this every month to keep the inside of the dishwasher clean and to minimize mineral buildup.

10. Smart Bird Feeder – We got my father-in-law one of these for his birthday earlier this year and my husband was so enamored with it that I got HIM one for HIS birthday shortly thereafter. We all love this; it’s so fun to see the different types of birds that show up!

11. Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro – Our most-used small kitchen appliance, hands down. We use it every single day, multiple times a day. We’ve had one of these for over 12 years now!

12. Dreamsky Alarm Clocks – This is the clock all of our kids have in their rooms (and they brought them on vacation!); the time sets automatically, adjusts for DST, you can adjust the brightness, it shows the day, date, temperature, etc. and the alarm function is easy to set – Dominic figured it out himself. Our kids use these, but they would be great for anyone.

What I Bookmarked This Week

I’ve never heard of these, but now I need to try smothered rissoles!

Ooooh yes, focaccia MUFFINS!

I think my kids might love these bang bang chicken skewers.

Zucchini corn fritters just scream summer.

These chicken rolls look SO good.

Have a delicious weekend!
