Sweets for a Saturday #31

Sweets for a Saturday has always made my weekend a sweet one. But, now that I've started working, my weekends are sweeter than ever because that's when I go absolutely crazy in the kitchen and bake and make ice cream/sherbet/sorbet like there's no tomorrow. On an average weekend, I'll try at least 5-6 new recipes. This past week, I've made Black Pepper Ice Cream, Peach Sorbet, Molasses Bread, Triple Cinnamon Crunch Biscotti, and more, all of which I'll be posting later on.

What about all of you? Do you go kitchen crazy on the weekends too?

By the way, my giveaway for this beautiful necklace is still open and there are low entries. It's open till August 22, so make sure you go over and enter.


Finally, here's your Top 5 from last week:

1. Southern Classics Cheesecake Layer Cake - Piece, Love, & Cooking



2. Homemade Twix Bars - Cooking with Karyn



3. Pecan Pie Chocolate Cheesecake Bars - Piece, Love, & Cooking



4. Oreo Cheesecake Popsicles - Cats and Casseroles



5. Cotton Candy Cupcakes - Mrs. Fox's Sweets



The Rules:
  1. Please link up to the URL of your post, not the URL of your main blog. When it asks for "Name", type in the name of your treat.
  2. Please leave a link back to this post in your post or Grab My Button.
  3. Share your delicious sweets from this week. If you've made more than one during the week, feel free to link them all up.
  4. Leave me a comment telling me that you've linked up.
  5. Please visit at least two others and comment on their wonderful additions to this party.

    I just wanted to stop by and say hi :) I've missed linking up, but unfortunately, this week was so busy, I didn't have time to make anything except some cute little ice cubes. I'm going to be doing all of my baking tonight and tomorrow for my 3 yr olds birthday. But I promise I will link up next week :)

    Hi Lisa! Seriously?! You bake 5-6 things a weekend? How in the world do you stay so tiny? Do you give them all away??

    Thanks for hosting again!! I know it's so much more of a sacrifice now that you are working.

    I've linked up Lavender Truffles and Apricot-Fig Granola Bars.

    Thanks,
    Ginny
