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 [...]

Strawberry Cream Cake

April 6, 2010

I hosted a small Easter dinner on Sunday. Since my dad and brother rarely make it out to visit us, I let them pick the dessert menu. My dad of course chose chocolate; more specifically chocolate mousse, which I will post later this week. My brother, Jared being his typical laid back self said he [...]

Blueberry-Lemon Bundt Cake

April 5, 2010

I like plans, to-do lists and schedules; rarely do I veer away from my “system”. Some think I am slightly obsessed, others totally relate to my anal behavior and embrace it, some even covet this part of my personality. Really I am just not a “fly by the seat of my pants” type of gal [...]

Key Lime Pie Bars

March 28, 2010

I had a brilliant idea the other night, although I am sure my brilliant idea is nothing new to the culinary world…I went with it anyway and pretended that I was inventing something fabulous! My idea? Well, it was to make Key Lime Pie and incorporated coconut into the crust. See, I told ya…not very [...]

Walnut Chocolate Blondies

March 24, 2010

I love grocery stores, go figure, right? I love wandering through the aisles, checking out random spices, olive oils and fun new products. However, I loathe those mid-week quick trips to pick up odds and ends and I HATE putting groceries away. Last week, I asked Brian to make a mid-week trip to pick up [...]

Lemon Coconut Bars

March 15, 2010

Last week Mother Nature teased us Ohioans and gave us a short lived burst of spring weather. The temperatures hit the high fifties so, of course, I had to make something citrus. After browsing the web for a few minutes, I encountered a recipe that included not only citrus…but citrus and coconut. How can you [...]

Lola Cupcakes

March 10, 2010

I have been away from my blog and twitter for what seems like forever, but in reality, it’s only been a little over a week. A rough week, a sad week…keeping a long story short, our two and a half year old Maltese pup, Lola passed away unexpectedly last Monday. Lola was a happy, loving, [...]

Snickerdoodle Cake

February 22, 2010

My mom can be technologically inept; therefore, was not an avid reader of my blog until recently. Now she has access to a computer and has been schooled on how to check her email, facebook and my blog! In fact she called me today telling me how good these Maple Chip Waffles look! Way to [...]

Lime Meringue Tart

February 17, 2010

I don’t know what the weather is like where you live, but here in Ohio our grass is still blanketed with almost a foot of snow and it is freezing. This type of weather has me craving the cool, refreshing flavors of summer. After watching Ina’s Keep it Sweet episode on Barefoot Contessa last weekend, I [...]

Amazing Brownies

February 15, 2010

I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day! Although most of you are probably still on a sugar buzz from all the sweet treats from your Valentine, I thought I would add another recipe that is sure to make you swoon. If you follow me on twitter, you may remember me asking for brownie recipe [...]

Homemade Oreos

February 13, 2010

It should be exceedingly apparent by the title of my blog that I bake A LOT. My addiction to baking comes and goes in spurts. Sometimes I will bake up a storm for days using enough butter to make Paula Deen wince, sometimes I don’t bake for weeks at a time. The amount of baking [...]
