The Weekend Dish: 8/10/2019
Happy weekend to you!
How is August treating you? Do you have kids that started back to school this week? It always boggles my mind when I see people posting pictures of their kids’ first day of school in early August. Like, what the what?! Growing up, we always started the week before Labor Day, so anything earlier than that just seems crazy and like it’s cutting summer wayyyyy short!
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!
On Brown Eyed Baker This Week
August Bake-Along: Homemade Soft Pretzels – These homemade soft pretzels are so easy to make! Use the dough for large pretzels, smaller pretzels, or even soft pretzel bites – absolutely delicious.
The Marvelous Rum Cake Recipe That Will Make Every Occasion Fabulous – This rum cake is made completely from scratch, has the most tender, moist crumb, and is drenched in rum flavor without being overpowering. Perfection!
