What the heck is a Sugar High Friday? That’s easy. It’s your best excuse to make something sweet and different, at least once a month. And to do it with tons of other people from around the world. It occurs during the last week of every month, entries due on the Monday and the round-up posted on the Friday (the Sugar High Friday that is!).
The rules and regulations – really, anything goes! Just make your favourite dessert that revolves around or highlights the specified ingredient or theme, which is always something different every month. An individual creation, a recipe you have always wanted to try but never have… an old standby that company loves and raves about every time you make it. Even a recipe you have already posted about before (as long as you post about it anew!); whatever tickles your imagination. Just make sure you stick to that month’s SHF theme, post your recipe by the specified deadline and email the host with a link to your SHF entry.
If you’d like to host SHF, please email me. But be prepared to make plans well in advance. As of right now, we are booking into the summer of 2011!
