Sure, turkey gets all of the attention for Thanksgiving… But, I have to say, I have always associated Thanksgiving with baking more than with turkey. Of course, I love to bake, so I guess that makes sense! For as long as I can remember, my family’s Thanksgiving table always head a great assortment of homemade…
Oh my how time flies! It seems like just yesterday that I was contemplating starting a little blog to keep track of my recipes online (and spare myself the hassle of constantly hand writing recipe cards for friends and family!). Yet somehow I’ve now managed to write a few blog posts (oh, 600 or so)…
It has been a long time since I made homemade granola. I’m not really sure why… It’s not difficult! While I’m not much of a cereal fan, I do enjoy having granola with fresh fruit and yogurt during the summer. A few months ago, I was in New York City, and I got to have…
I’ve had a few guest bloggers drop by this summer to share some of their favorite recipes with you. And, I think it’s only fair that I also drop by their blogs to return the favor! Plus, sometimes I find it refreshing to write a guest post because it forces me to take a step…
I always enjoy baking for the holidays, and Easter is right up there with Christmas in my book. A few months ago, I stumbled upon a cute set of cookie cutters that included flower, carrot, and bunny shapes. I knew I had to have them for Easter! I had trouble saving the cookie cutters for Easter,…

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…
I can’t believe it’s Friday already again. Even scarier is the fact that Christmas is now only three short weeks away! This fall has gone by in a flash… It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already over and the Christmas season is now in full swing! So, if you’re still scrambling to catch up…
The 2009 October Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe. Well, they wouldn’t call it the Daring Bakers if all of the recipes were easy, right? When I saw that this month’s Daring Bakers…
The September 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Steph of A Whisk and a Spoon. She chose the French treat, Vols-au-Vent based on the Puff Pastry recipe by Michel Richard from the cookbook Baking With Julia by Dorie Greenspan. Puff pastry is why I joined the Daring Bakers. I was ecstatic when I saw…
