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 …
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 …
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 …
I am not a beer fan; honestly, I am not really an alcohol fan in general, but I particularly loathe beer. I get loopy when I drink, yep loopy and sick, so it’s just better for everyone that I stay far away from the stuff! Although I do not like to drink beer, I do …
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, …
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 …
Last week I posted a recipe for Orange Whipped Cream Cake. The cake was very moist, tasty and was full of spring flavors…it even made the Foodbuzz Top 9 on Friday. The cake was adapted from Rose’s Heavenly Cakes and the post included a giveaway for Rose’s cookbook. In order to enter the giveaway, I …
If you read my previous post for Orange Cupcakes, you may recall me saying that it is freezing here in Ohio. This arctic chill has me baking with citrus and yearning for summer. Today’s recipe is from Rose Levy Beranbaum’s new book, Rose’s Heavenly Cakes. I adapted it slightly (see my notes at the bottom …

Well as you may have noticed, My Baking Addiction has a whole new look and I am really excited to post my first recipe on the new site. A couple of months ago, I decided that I wanted to move from Blogger to WordPress and give my blog a little face lift. With the help of my …
Wow, it’s December already! The last week in November got away from me… looking back, it was a week of cooking, cleaning, cooking, shopping, cooking, eating. Now that my kitchen is no longer a whirlwind and my pants will button again, I can get back to baking and blogging. I made this recipe for a …
Today is National Bundt Day! Yes, folks, bundts do indeed have their day! I must confess that I had no idea National Bundt Day existed until I saw The Food Librarian’s tweets about her “I Like Big Bundts-30 Days of Bundt Cakes.” Go visit her site for 29 different bundts leading up to National Bundt …
I bought some gorgeous Granny Smith apples last week and after eating several of them, I knew I wanted to bake a delicious dessert with these scrumptious, tart apples. I was also fairly certain my new obsession with cinnamon chips would pair perfectly with this fall fruit. I found a recipe on Martha Stewart’s website …
Confession: I get slightly obsessed with random stuff quite easily. For example, cinnamon baking chips. I have used the Hershey’s brand in the past, but for some reason I could not find them at my local market. I then checked every single market within a 15 mile radius of my home and even enlisted help …
With Fall in full force, it seems as though there is a trend developing in email inquiries. I have been asked for “easy fall recipes” more times than I can count. Although I try to provide my readers with recipes at varying skill levels, I do know not everyone has the time or the desire …
If you frequent my blog, you may know that I am smitten with Autumn: the aromas, the clothing and most importantly the crisp, cool air. When it comes to Fall baking I am all about apples, Honey Crisp apples to be precise. If you have never experienced the deliciousness of this type of apple, pick …
Last week the Fall season hit me like a brick! All of the sudden I wanted to snuggle up in cardigans, rock my UGG boots and sniff in the delicious scents of cinnamon, pumpkin and crisp apples. While my UGG boots are still buried in the depths of my closet, I have in fact worn …
Bananas. I love them, but as you may recall, I can never seem to use them up before they are speckled brown and less than appetizing on my Cheerios. However, these past their prime ‘naners are the perfect excuse to bake something delicious! Last week, I was left with a few of this type of …
I originally saw this recipe over at the Pioneer Woman’s site and was immediately intrigued because I just so happened to have zucchini in my fridge. Rarely do I post recipes when I make them from her site because she has such a large following and provides step by step instructions with great photos. I …
Wow, one year… one whole year I have been writing this blog! As I sit here typing, I am swaying in my chair and singing the lyrics to the 1990′s jam, “It’s Our Anniversary” by Tony! Toni! Toné! However, I am replacing the word anniversary with blogoversary, because I am cool like that! It’s a …
I have seen these cute Hostess inspired cupcakes popping up on Tastespotting and Foodgawker for quite some time, but I successfully withstood the peer pressure to make them until now! Ya see, Bri is a serious cupcake fanatic, and always wants chocolate on chocolate, but being a food blogger I am not really one to …
