Valentine’s Day will likely be a bit different at my house this year. You see, I haven’t gotten brave enough to leave the little girl with a babysitter yet. I’m working up to it gradually, but I’m just not ready. I’m sure she’d do just fine, but I’m not sure I would do nearly as well. So,…

My Kitchen Addiction turns 4 years old today… Where has the time gone? If you had asked me where I thought this blog would be in four years when I started writing and sharing recipes, I probably would have shrugged and smiled… I had no idea. I started My Kitchen Addiction with no real big plans,…

I have always loved baking in the mornings, especially in the colder months of the year. There’s just something about heating up the oven on a chilly morning and baking something for breakfast in my PJs. Since Miss Madison arrived, though, I haven’t been doing as much early morning baking. Morning baking has been replaced with…

I’ve been up to my ears in apples this fall. We signed up for a new fruit CSA this year in addition to our usual apple CSA. When I signed up, I was thinking of all of the berries and peaches that we’d enjoy over the summer. I didn’t give much thought to the fact…

When I started the October Unprocessed challenge at the beginning of the month, my goal was to try to do less baking with white flours and refined sugars. It’s something that I would like to do less of in general (not just in October), so this seemed like a perfect time to start. Don’t get…

Pumpkin season is officially here, and I can’t tell you how happy that makes me! If you are a regular reader, you’ve most likely already figured out that I’m big fan of the fall, and I especially love pumpkin. I put it in just about everything – from cookies and cupcakes to pasta and beef…

In the last few months, waffles have become one of my favorite breakfasts. While I enjoy freshly made waffles from the waffle maker, I actually think that I prefer to reheat waffles from the freezer in the morning. I toss them in the toaster oven for just a few minutes, and they come out toasty and…

With a baby due in less than a week, I may be slightly out of my mind, but I’ve decided to take the October Unprocessed pledge. I have been back and forth on it for quite a while, knowing that it’s not realistic to expect to be able to eat 100% unprocessed for the whole…

Fall is officially here! I hope you are as excited as I am about that. But, even if you aren’t, I think this apple crumble pie will help to get you in the mood. Lately I can’t get enough pie… I’m not talking about just eating pie (though, I have enjoyed a slice or two). …
