The Weekend Dish: 6/11/2016
Hellooo weekend!
I felt like this past week went on for-ev-er with a million different things to do, so I’m happy to usher in a couple of low-key days here to relax and catch up on desperately needed couch time. What are you up to this weekend?
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:
Almost No Bake Drumstick Cheesecake (Melanie Makes)
I died when I saw this! I STILL love Drumsticks and this is just an incredibly genius dessert.
Chocolate Cherry Galette (Baking a Moment)
Gorgeous! If there’s someone in your life who loves chocolate-covered cherries, I’m sure they would adore this.
Chorizo French Fry Nachos (Foodness Gracious)
I would like this entire pan for lunch, please.
Rainbow Sherbet (Baked by Rachel)
So pretty!! Looks totally refreshing and perfect for a summer party.
S’mores Cannoli (The Suburban Soapbox)
Love this summery spin on a classic!
Have a delicious weekend!
Thank you so much for the kind words about my cheesecake – hope you’ll give it a try! Happy weekend!
I wanted to let you know about an adorable ad on TV. It is for Amazon Prime and it shows parents with their baby girl and their Golden. The dog so wants to be friends but the baby prefers her stuffed lion. The dad contacts Amazon and has an adorable solution to the problem. Maybe you have seen it but if not, I imagine you can find it by Googling it. The Golden is priceless…nothing like the “look” a Golden can give.
I hope you have a restful weekend!
