Citrus Sunday


It's Citrus Sunday!  Meaning that it's time for our next seasonal blog event.  Last summer, I decided that we had so much fun with our Cookie Exchange that I'd like to host blog events more than once a year.  I know that my blogging friends are busy, though, so I didn't want it to be too often.  Seasonally--roughly four times a year plus the holiday cookies--seemed just about right.  For summer, we had ice cream and other frozen treats, then for fall we had loaves of all kinds.  (And of course we had another cookie exchange.)  That brings us to winter.  Now I know that we're just a handful of days away from spring, so I wanted a theme that would be a good transition from one season to the other.  Citrus fruits seemed like the perfect way to do it, since they're in season in winter, but make everyone think of spring.  There are so many great variations to choose from--I can't wait to see what everyone has come up with!

I decided to try something new this time.  My friend Nancy had the great suggestion to add a linky to this main blog event post.  That way everyone can leave their links so we can all check them out (especially since my life is crazy as always and I don't know how soon I'll find time to do a round-up).  I know that not everyone will have his or her blog post done today, so I'm allowing submissions for the next two weeks.  Enjoy!

  1. I can't wait to see all the citrus links! My post should be up some time today, but I appreciate the latitude to post late.

  2. This should be a great source of citrus recipes and I am always happy with a little lime, lemon or orange in my recipes.

  3. Cool! I hope you don't mind that I used an old post as I'm just not feeling like cooking this week. And, the lime cupcakes we made last week (with real limes!) didn't turn out as well as I had hoped anyway... :)

  4. @Anandi That's fine. I'm happy if people are getting a chance to try out something new for this, but I'd rather have my friends share an older post than not get to join in the fun. =)

  5. This was so much fun! I made and blogged my recipe last week...and then realized when I went to post this morning than I'd never taken a picture. Lucky me: it meant I had to whip up another batch today! ;) Thanks for hosting, Di!!

  6. I'm such a dork. When Linky asked for 'Name" I put my name instead of my Lemon Pudding Cake. Sorry about that. Thank you Di for having another great seasonal event for us. I was able to bake something out of a cookbook of mine that I have had for awhile.
