Turkey Pot Pie

Here in Canada, Thanksgiving sneaks up on us in early October—before the leaves are even done turning—so by the time our neighbours to the south are just starting to think about brining, we’re already deep into holiday mode.

If you’ve been reading Guilty Kitchen for more than a couple days, you’d know I’ve gone through just about every “lifestyle” diet there is, from Atkins to Vegan, to Paleo and back again.

Bright, sharp, just a little cheeky — it’s the flavour that wakes up your mouth and reminds you that life can be simple and beautiful. Which is why this Lemon Custard Ice Cream feels like exactly the right thing to be making right
