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 the [...]

Friday Favorites – Blogiversary Edition (Episode 39)
Friday Favorites – Episode 35
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 and [...]
Daring to Fail (Daring Bakers October)
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.

The misconceptions [...]
Cranberry Coconut Granola Bars
I may never buy a store-bought granola bar ever again. Seriously.
This month’s Pre-Made Our Way Challenge was to make homemade granola bars. I enjoy the PMOW challenge each month because it’s fairly relaxed – no strict rules, recipe variations allowed, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the Daring Bakers, too (more about that [...]
I’ve joined the Daring Bakers…
The June Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict and Annemarie of Ambrosia and Nectar. They chose a Traditional (UK) Bakewell Tart… er… pudding that was inspired by a rich baking history dating back to the 1800’s in England.
It’s official – I have joined the Daring Bakers! I have [...]
Poptarts – Part Deux
My new camera arrived yesterday, and after taking countless pictures of the dog and a bunch of bananas sitting on my counter top, I decided it was time to bake something so I would have something to take pictures of. I had a bunch of cherries in the refrigerator, so initially I was going to [...]
