Still looking for a last minute homemade gift idea? I’ve got you covered! Ever since I tried making these chocolate marshmallow bunnies from A Farmgirl’s Dabbles for Easter, I’ve wanted to make them again. If you’re tried making homemade marshmallows before, you know what I’m talking about. And, if you haven’t made homemade marshmallows, take…
A few weeks ago, it occurred to me that I had never made a pumpkin pie from scratch… In fact, I’m not sure I had ever really made a pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie is a Thanksgiving staple, but usually either my mom or my grandmother makes the pumpkin pie. I’ve never really had a reason to…
Thanksgiving is just a few short weeks away… 2 weeks and 1 day to be exact, but don’t panic. It will be OK! As I mentioned last Friday, I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year. So, I’ve had Thanksgiving on the brain for a few weeks already! If you read my blog regularly, you know that I…
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…

You may have been wondering where my Friday Favorites went… But do not fear! It’s been a few weeks since I had a chance to do much blog reading (life got in the way… that happens sometimes!). But, this week, I made a point to sit down and go through a lot of the blog…
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 hope you’ve enjoyed my series on the basics of baking homemade bread! Over the past few weeks, I’ve covered the necessary equipment, the basics of yeast, and tips on mixing up bread dough without a big mess. So, now it’s time to get baking! I had planned to share a new, basic bread recipe…
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been covering some of the basics of baking homemade bread… I know that it can be intimidating to a lot of people, so I am doing my best to take away the fear and frustration! So far, in my bread baking series, I’ve covered the basic equipment needed (not…
