Weekend Recap: Top Stories, Events, and Highlights This Week

Previously, on CCS:

Sunday – Football season kicked off and we began our spicy series with Spicy Tortilla Chips. A definite crowd-pleaser.

Monday – We tested the New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies. Are they everything everyone claims?

Tuesday – A playful Cookie Monster tune, my favorite Shabby Apple dress of the week, and the clever egg yolk-in-a-plastic-bottle trick. Tuesday Things and Links offered a mix of fun and useful tips.

Wednesday – Our third Blue Ribbon Challenge continued with a refreshing Granita recipe—perfect for the lingering heat of late summer.

Thursday – We made elegant doughnuts from scratch and baked them for a lighter twist: Doughnuts a l’Orange.

Friday – Doughnut holes were fried and rolled in sugar. Irresistible little treats.

The winner of our third Blue Ribbon Challenge is the entry with the most votes and clicks…

Congratulations to Ramona from Curry and Comfort! Your Watermelon Granita claimed 1st place. Your winner’s badge is on its way.

Many thanks to everyone who entered—each submission was wonderful and inspiring.

Wishing you all a fantastic Labor Day weekend!
