A big thanks to all of our cooks in this months challenge! We enjoyed having you participate and hope you had as much fun as we did. We've got a ton of scrumptious sounding dishes, so keep reading and enjoy!

Not only did Haalo from Cook Almost Anything At Least Once make her own tortillas, then she made Huevos Rancheros!

Superstar Ivonne at Cream Puffs In Venice hits one out of the park with her Tres Leches Cake with Brandied Pineapple.

Michelle over at Je Mange La Ville makes a Tequila Sunrise, Charred Tomato Salsa and Boilermaker Bean Dip. Check out her post title! Very clever.

And the hosts?

Sara from i like to cook made Spicy Zucchini Soup with Rice and Lime and Calypso Roti with Mango Mojo.

Something So Clever's Alicat makes a Mexican dish that her picky husband will eat - Fiesta Shrimp Tacos with Cucumber and Avocado Salsa.

We realize that this challenge came out a bit fast after the last one, so we're going to slow things down a bit. Weekend Cookbook Challenge #6's theme is Picnic Food!

Picnic food makes us think of fried chicken, potato salad, fruit tarts and strawberry lemonade. Now, lets see what your interpretation is! Whip up any dish or meal that you think fits the theme.

As a reminder for newbies, the idea is to make a dish from an unused or under used cookbook from your collection and blog about it! Please post any pictures, the recipe, and a link back to the Weekend Cookbook Challenge. The final date to submit is June 26. Recap will be up shortly after that.

Happy Cooking!

Alicat and Sara
