Ten in 10 – Week 4 Update

I must admit, I have been dreading this week’s Ten in 10 update, but nevertheless, here it is… You see, on paper, it looks like I have been doing really well with my Ten in 10 goals. I have done a fantastic job at exercising regularly and making some pretty healthy meals.  I have even…

Friday Favorites – Episode 40

Another week has come and gone, and it’s time for my Friday Favorites! Let’s just get right to it, shall we? If you have wanted to make croissants but held back because you thought they would be difficult, think again!  These homemade Croissants from Tracey’s Culinary Adventures are some of the best I’ve seen.  Tracey…

BBQ Shredded Beef

Now that my blog has hit the one year mark, I have been thinking about going back and re-doing a few of my older recipes.  I love creating new recipes, but sometimes it’s nice to make something familiar. So, in the coming months, you may see a few re-makes of some of my favorite recipes. I rarely…

Gluten Free Nanaino Bars (Daring Bakers January)

The January 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Lauren of Celiac Teen. Lauren chose Gluten-Free Graham Wafers and Nanaimo Bars as the challenge for the month. The sources she based her recipe on are 101 Cookbooks and www.nanaimo.ca. When I first saw this month’s Daring Bakers challenge, I was really excited! I knew that…

Peanut Butter Frosting

You may remember that I was lucky enough to be selected as one of fifteen Foodbuzz featured publishers headed to NYC for an event to raise awareness for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, sponsored by Electrolux.  The event (which is now less than two weeks away!) is a cake decorating event, and we will be…

Spicy Cocoa Roasted Almonds

I intended to make some honey roasted almonds for Christmas, but I never got around to it.  It turns out that my procrastination paid off a bit.  About a week ago, I was at the grocery store, and I saw that they had giant tubs of almonds on sale, leftover from the bulk displays at…

Ten in 10 – Week 3 Update

It’s time for my update on the third week of the Ten in 10 (#10in10) Challenge!  Fortunately, this week wasn’t nearly as busy for me as last week was.  Even though I baked a red velvet cake last weekend (and I’m working on a chocolate peanut butter cake right now…), I feel like I have…

Friday Favorites – Blogiversary Edition (Episode 39)

It has been 1 year since I started blogging and sharing my recipes here at My Kitchen Addiction… Can you believe it? It’s hard for me to believe that it’s been a whole year already… In fact, it was so hard to believe that I totally forgot about it earlier this week (Jan 18th was…

Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread

I’m a control freak. Let me just put that out there… No, this isn’t going to be a post about the many reasons that I should probably see a shrink and the fact that I have some serious OCD tendencies…  We can talk about that later. This post is all about making homemade bread, which…

Apple Cheddar Quesadillas

As I mentioned in my #10in10 update post yesterday, last week ended up being pretty busy for me.  I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a real big fan of cold food, especially in winter.  So, for me, the usual lunch salads and sandwiches aren’t usually too appealing.  Instead, when I’m busy, one of my go-to…
