A few months ago, I introduced my husband to ricotta gnocchi. I ordered it at one of our favorite local restaurants, and he gave me a skeptical look. But, then he took a bite.

I love getting emails and comments from readers here at My Kitchen Addiction. When I started writing about the food I was making in my kitchen over 2 1/2 years ago, I never imagined that so many people would actually read what I have to say. It’s such a blessing! I get quite a few…

The fall is definitely my favorite time of the year for produce. Sure, I love tomatoes and peppers in the summer. But, what really gets me excited is colder weather produce… Broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and especially squash and apples. I’m not too picky when it comes to squash… I love pumpkin, but I also really…
