The Best Cheesecake

July 20, 2010

Cheesecake. I love cheesecake. It is truly one of those desserts that I simply cannot resist. I’m guessing it’s the combination of the crisp, slightly salty graham crust paired with the sweet creamy texture of the cream cheese filling. Regardless of the reason, cheesecake equals bliss in my book. Although we will pretty much nosh [...]

Peach Cobbler

July 6, 2010

I have really never been a fan of warm fresh fruit desserts, I don’t loathe them, but they are just not my favorite. I find them to be a tad mushy and feel they often need an additional textural component like a crunchy topping on an apple pie or crisp crust enveloping sweet summer cherries. [...]

Glazed Doughnut Muffins

July 1, 2010

I am not really a doughnut fan; however, I do love me some muffins. I especially adore big muffins with gorgeous domed crowns. When I came across this recipe on King Arthur Flour, I knew they would be a perfect grab and go breakfast for Brian to take to work. So, I whipped them together, [...]

Strawberry Lemon Granita

June 28, 2010

I have an addiction to buying strawberries right now, especially the locally grown ones that have been making their seasonal appearance at my fave market. I find the berries from local farms to so much more juicy, fragrant and sweet compared to the shipped in variety.

Lemon Blueberry Crumb Bars

June 17, 2010

I adore blueberries…fresh out of a bowl, in my cereal and especially baked into yummy desserts…throw in some lemon and I am one happy girl. Although I love some blueberry goodness, I refuse to pay the crazy high prices I have been seeing at the market. I improvised a bit and used frozen berries in this [...]

Fresh Strawberry Bread

June 2, 2010

Less than six months ago very few of my co-workers knew of my blog; however, the cat made its way out of the bag and now pretty much everyone knows. I don’t really know why I did not tell people, I guess I’m kind of weird {read: anxious} like that and did not want anyone [...]

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars

June 1, 2010

I love peanut butter and jelly, actually more like peanut butter and jam, jelly is well, too giggly for me. Any jam will do; strawberry, blackberry, raspberry…whatever we happen to have in the fridge. So, you can imagine how excited I was when I came across a recipe for Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars. My [...]

Rhubarb Streusel Cake

May 18, 2010

I love spring…the warmer weather, the smell of fresh cut grass and blooming flowers makes me a happy girl. Spring means the farmers’ markets begin to open with plentiful supplies of rhubarb and asparagus. Although we love us some spring asparagus, I have never used rhubarb in any way, shape or form. Well, I found [...]

If you have a hankering for a giant chocolate chip cookie, you’ve come to the right place. This recipe is for yet another Levain Bakery copycat…I made these because after tasting the Chocolate Chocolate Chip Levain knock-off, Brian was yearning for a HUGE regular chocolate chip cookie. I had to oblige him, right? I headed [...]

Levain Bakery Copycat Cookies

May 1, 2010

This is one serious cookie. It’s certainly not for the faint of heart, weighing in at a whopping 4 ounces and loaded with chocolate. I certainly did not come up with these giant cookies on my own; they are a copycat recipe for one of Levain Bakery’s legendary 6 ounce cookies. Levain Bakery has a fabulous [...]

Perfect Chocolate Mousse

April 14, 2010

If you read My Baking Addiction on a regular basis, which I certainly hope you do, you may recall that I am not a HUGE chocolate lover. I would classify myself as a “sort-of chocolate liker” meaning I’ll eat a mini frozen Snickers during a certain time of the month or chomp down on a [...]

Cinnamon Chip Scones

April 12, 2010

There is something about scones that makes me want to curl up on my couch with a cup of tea and spend hours watching old movies under a fuzzy blanket. This is definitely not a luxury I have very often, but I still make scones and simply eat them while running out the door. Although [...]
