Happy Saturday to you all!

I hope you had a fabulous summer week and that you’re rolling into what will be a lovely and enjoyable weekend. Let me know what you’re eating this weekend!

On Brown Eyed Baker This Week

Friday Things #582 – Games, summer ending, books, sharing meals, boredom, shows, 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 go-to jar for stashing a batch of refrigerator bread and butter pickles.

2. “Nantucket Breeze” Jigsaw Puzzle – My current puzzle! (And don’t forget the puzzle board with drawers – my husband got it for me a few years ago and I can’t imagine doing a puzzle without it now!)

3. TYMO Automatic Rotating Curling Iron – I bought this a few months ago after seeing a Facebook ad and wasn’t sure if it would actually work well, but oh my goodness, this is AMAZING. I am so bad at curling my own hair, and this makes it easy and effortless; I don’t curl my hair often, but I’ve used this three times now and I’m so happy I bought it!

4. 28-Piece Birthday Candles Set – After being stuck a couple of times in recent months without two of the same number candle for when we celebrated birthdays at our house, I grabbed this set so I’ll always have what we need!

5. Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray – A prime day purchase for me, love the little oomph it gives my hair without being stiff or too drying.

6. Bamboo Drawer Dividers – LOVE these for organizing the kids’ drawers. When they were little I used those little canvas boxes, which worked for baby/toddler sized things, but they had long outgrown them, and I finally grabbed these a month or so ago. They work perfectly and they were all so excited to keep things more tidy in their drawers.

7. It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In – I’ve used this for years but ran out recently and thought I’d try to get by without it; nope, I could tell a huge difference!

8. GoMacro Bars – I’ve been loving these (specifically the oatmeal chocolate chip flavor) for a quick breakfast on the go or a snack in the afternoon.

9. Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro – We’ve had a version of this since before we had kids, and it is by far my favorite small kitchen appliance. We use it every day, multiple times a day; I can’t recommend it enough.

10. 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.
