Sugar High Sunday: Citrus

What's in season now, in the middle of winter? Citrus! Colourful, jewel-toned orbs; juicy and bursting with bright flavours. I have found a few interesting recipes for you to try — I know that I will definitely be trying them!

From Always With Butter: Blood Orange Bars and some seriously beautiful photography. 

Glug! Glug! Glug! Aaaahhhhh! Serve up a Grapefruit Margarita from Sweet Life in Texas. 

More grapefruit! From Whisk Kid: Grapefruit Poppy Seed Cupcakes with Strawberry Rhubarb Jam and Cream Cheese Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Oooooohhhh my goodness I think I just drooled all over myself typing that! 

Vegan Blood Orange Cupcakes from Shauna Sever

These look so delicious, I licked my screen: Lemon Thumbprint Cookies from Glorious Treats

Coconut and Citrus Cake from Bakers Royale 

Mmmmm Mini Lemon Cheesecakes with Gingersnap Crust, from Baking Bites 

Coconut Lime Bars

Here is a citrus recipe from me: Coconut Lime Bars 

Enjoy!

Sugar High Sunday: Pinterest Edition

Have you heard of Pinterest?

It's a social network-style community on which people "pin" their favourite images, kind of like a vision board. The pins maintain the original links to their original web pages. Think of it as a visual bookmark. I first found it a couple of months ago and I was quickly hooked. And not just for the food!

Today's Sugar High Sunday features cool baking projects I found on Pinterest. You can follow me and my pins on Pinterest here; be sure to drop me a line if you like what you see.

Just a small sampling from one of my boards on Pinterest.
