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 cannot believe that October is over already. Between waiting for our little baby to arrive and then adjusting to life with a newborn in the house (and, we’re still working on that part!), October just breezed right on by. November is here, and it’s time for a new Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! In the last week or…

For this Kitchen Bootcamp challenge, I asked everyone to spend some time in the kitchen getting familiar with yeast breads… Many of you know that I love to bake, and baking with yeast is pretty high up there on my list. While a new baby has kept me from doing as much baking for this challenge as I…

Since I chose yeast breads for the current Kitchen Bootcamp challenge, I thought it was only appropriate that I try a few new bread recipes in my own kitchen. I decided to start with the sandwich bead recipe from The New Best Recipe. I had good intentions of simply following the recipe, but as I…

Time for a new Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! Since I will be otherwise occupied towards the end of September and the beginning of October, I have opted to do an extended challenge this time around… But, I think it’s a good one! With the arrival of fall comes the arrival of baking season. In the heat…

This month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge focused on eggs and other popular breakfast foods! I admit that it was a selfish pick on my part because I wanted a challenge that I could handle without too much stress and effort. I really enjoyed seeing what everyone else made, though… Breakfast has been one of my favorite…

I have to admit that my definition of challenging myself in the kitchen has changed a bit lately. I’m doing my best to keep everything up and running here at My Kitchen Addiction, but if I’m truly honest with myself, I don’t quite have the same energy for whipping up new recipes in my kitchen…

I have to admit that this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge is a bit of a selfish choice on my part… Lately eggs and breakfast foods have been one of the few things that I really enjoy eating on a regular basis. I think it is partly due to the fact that I haven’t had an appetite…

When I announced this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge, I had great plans of making a cobbler… A “real” cobbler with a biscuit crust, that is. It didn’t exactly happen, though. Here’s the thing… I seem to have something about biscuits. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love to eat them. I don’t feel quite the same about…

When I announced this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge, I thought I would have no trouble at all baking up an assortment of fruit desserts. We joined a local fruit CSA this year, so I’ve had plenty of fresh and local fruit on hand. The only problem (if you can really call it a problem) is…
