October.
Pumpkins, witches, hay bales, tractor rides, harvest, autumn leaves, smoky wafts on the breeze, crisp cool air, scarves….comfort food.
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know how much I love autumn. I know I’m not the only one who revels in this most colourful of seasons, as I hear most people say that fall is their favourite too. I’m sure we all have our reasons, but most of us share a love of the common elements, listed above. Although I’m not that big on Hallowe’en, I do happen to love the season it falls in. Don’t you?
Which is why I created this recipe. Perfect fall fare and so easy to make, it practically cooks itself.
Which is a good thing, because I cannot concentrate for more than five minutes at a time right now. No I have not come down with a sudden case of ADHD. Rather my kids have all of my attention, even when I’m trying to give it to something else.
Whoever said two kids was not double the work, is a damn dirty liar, I tell ya.
Two kids two years apart means one wants me to play with him constantly/get him a snack/find his missing toys/kiss his boo boos/wipe his arse (excuse the crassness) and the other wants me to change her diaper/fill her belly with milk/burp her/flip her over after she gets stuck/rock her to sleep/entertain her all while I am also trying to do the laundry/write a blog post/cook a meal/iron/take photos/answer e-mail.

Today is Thanksgiving…well, maybe it was yesterday actually. Here in Canada, sometimes holidays fall on Sunday and then the following day is given as a statutory holiday, giving people a choice in which day they want to celebrate on.
We decided that the Monday would be our day of thanks.
Today I will be in the kitchen for a good portion of the day, mixing up cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, frying up sausage for stuffing and chopping potatoes for mash. Busy busy busy little bee…
But a big problem that happens to all of us on Thanksgiving is leftovers. What to do with them?
I have a few ideas for turkey leftovers here on Guilty Kitchen, such as:
Need a more in depth discussion? Hear me discuss my leftover ideas with Gregor Craigie of CBC Radio One On The Island.
Today’s recipe is for a great side dish to accompany any Thanksgiving meal, as it seasonal and easy to prepare the day of.
So to all you out there, spending your day in the kitchen, (or to the Americans still planning their Thanksgiving meals), I raise my glass to you. I am thankful for all the readers out there who provide feedback and motivation for continuing this little food blog. It’s been a great year so far, and I have so many things to be thankful for, but I’m especially thankful for my family, who grew by one this year. So Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends, cheers!
So what’s your Thanksgiving tradition, is it a big turkey dinner? A walk in the park? Grandma’s secret pumpkin pie recipe?

Recently, we’ve been out here a lot. On our lake.
It’s been a hard year for me to even attempt to get out there, what with the littlest kiddo still attached to me by physical force. Also, she’s not quite big enough to be stuffed into a life jacket and tossed into a boat for a joy ride. I don’t think she would appreciate the beautiful scenery as much as the rest of us do.
So when the stars and planets align correctly, and she goes to sleep when there are people (ie. awesome grandparents) around to stay watch, we nip out of the house as fast as possible, launch our little boat (The Hum Dinghy) and head out on the still waters. It may be fall, and the leaves are a’changin’ but that’s when the trout bite the hardest.
I captain the boat, while the boys drop their lines in. And then we wait.
And wait.
And wait.
Sometimes we are so lucky as to actually catch some dinner….

Today I want to talk about a few things. First, there’s this:
Foodies of the World is a book about food and foodies being published by the Slattery Media Group out of Australia. A few months back they contacted me about being featured in a book they were working on and I couldn’t resist but agree! As the cover boasts: “More than 100 recipes from the world’s great food blogs” and I couldn’t agree more. Though I have yet to receive my copy, I have seen quite a few other bloggers boasting (and rightly so!) about their inclusion as well. Some of my fellow bloggers include Sea Salt with Food, Wellsphere, And Then I do the Dishes and Eat. Live. Travel. Write. how could I have said no?
If you are interested in buying a copy, feel free to use the link above or the one located in the left sidebar. As you may have figured out, there is a commission involved if you use these links. Just know that you are continuing to fund our adventures in food and living! Now on to the food!
