I had a 6 pound can of peeled whole tomatoes in my pantry. Don’t ask questions… It’s a long story that involves a trip to a price club store and lots of exclamations like “Wow, that’s a huge can of tuna!” or “Check out the size of that bag of chips!” Long story short, the 6 [...]

Easy Italian Chicken and Rapini
This dish started out with a coupon for a bag of “Chopped Rappi.” I like clipping coupons… It’s a great way to save money on groceries, helping to keep our grocery bill down. I get ideas from coupons once in a while, too. Coupons often remind me of products I haven’t used in a while, and [...]
Pumpkin Ricotta Ravioli
I find that there is something relaxing and soothing about making pasta by hand. I’m not Italian (but sometimes think I should have been), and making my own pasta is my way of channeling my inner Italian grandmother.
Ever since we planned our February Boston trip, I had been looking forward to the butternut squash ravioli [...]
Tiramisu (Daring Bakers February)
The February 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Aparna of My Diverse Kitchen and Deeba of Passionate About Baking. They chose Tiramisu as the challenge for the month. Their challenge recipe is based on recipes from The Washington Post, Cordon Bleu at Home and Baking Obsession.
I love Tiramisu. Love it.
So, I was thrilled when [...]
Penne with Rapini and Sausage
I’m always anxious to get back in my kitchen after traveling. I enjoy being in new places and trying new food, but after a while, I get sick of eating out and just want to make something for myself.
That’s how I started to feel this weekend. Not only did I have the urge to cook, [...]
Butternut Squash Lasagna
You may have noticed that things have slowed down here a at My Kitchen Addiction in the last week or two… I’m afraid it’s a direct result of the fact that life is a bit crazy at the moment (and not slowing down anytime soon) as I am trying to get ready for Christmas! I’m [...]
Sausage, Pepper, and Onion Stromboli
I love stromboli… Especially in cold weather! I’m not sure what it is about cold weather that makes me hungry for stromboli, but ever since we had a taste of snow over the weekend, I have been wanting to make stromboli.
A lot of the time when I make stromboli, I will layer ham, pepperoni, and [...]
Spaghetti Squash-sagna
We are still eating the spaghetti squash from our garden this past summer. I stashed a few of them in a large brown bag in my garage one day (trying to make space on my countertops) and totally forgot about them until this past weekend. Amazingly, they are all still good, even after a few [...]
Friday Favorites – Episode 33
If you were expecting a new Friday Favorites photo this week, I apologize. You would think that I could have found something (anything!) in the thousands and thousands of pictures I have taken, but no. I am having trouble finding a suitable replacement for the current photo. I will keep working on it, though.
Some weeks [...]
Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24: Boston Inspired Italian Birthday Celebration
I adore Boston, Massachusetts. There’s just something about the city that draws me in. I love the fusion of the modern city with the rich historical past. In one day you can stroll through the Public Garden and see the sites along the Freedom Trail, window shop on Newbury Street, and then head to the South [...]
