Cinco de Mayo

Happy Anniversary! Oh, what? It’s not your anniversary? Aw, that’s too bad, cause it’s mine and it’s one hell of a day to celebrate it! Three years ago today, my wonderful husband and I were married. Want to see pictures? No? Too bad… We’re Married…OMG! And after all that panic and hair curlers, make up and sweaty […]

Hummus

I’m a big fan of finger food. I like getting right in there, using my hands to eat. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the use of utensils, and contrary to a recent episode of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, my child (2 years old) does and will learn to use forks, knives and spoons (and

Buttermilk Pancakes

Something odd occurred to me this morning. Something all together tragic and unthinkable. Guilty Kitchen has no breakfast recipes. Sacrilege! How could this have happened? I mean sure, there this quiche, and this lovely shirred egg recipe, but those require a little work and planning and are by no means the lazy mans Sunday morning

Skirt Steak Fajitas

Skirt steak, sometimes confused with hanger steak and flank steak. Let’s clarify, shall we? Skirt, flank and hanger all come from the same general area of the cow, the lower rib region. There are four main cuts that come from this area: Brisket, skirt, flank and hanger (there is also the short ribs cut from

Baked Oysters and Busy Days

I haven’t been keeping up on my cooking these days. Well, let’s not say that. I have been cooking every night, as usual, but these days, I am sticking to old standbys and cheaper meals. It could be the weather outside has me spending more time in the garden, or on the deck with the

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Another spring-tastic recipe for you to revel in. We started a garden this year, again. Being in a new house, a rental at that, can seem daunting to beginners like us. There was a huge garden out back, but it had been sorely neglected for some time. Covered in random patches of stinging nettles, lemon

Turkey (or Chicken) Pot Pie

I know that Easter was, well, a while ago, but I don’t usually have an “Easter” dinner. In fact, on Easter Sunday, I took in a rather delicious dinner out with my mother and father in law, and of course my two lovely boys (that’s my husband and son). It was fun to be out

Is it Pizza or Flatbread?

I know you are tired of hearing about spring aren’t you? Well, too bad. I love spring. For so many reasons, it is my favourite of seasons. Not least of which is that my birthday is celebrated during those short months of coming warm weather. Truly, my favourite part is the return of fresh, local

Asparagus Soup

All across the world of (North American) food blogs, you may have noticed a similar theme…. Spring. The season, that is. It’s here for the most part, and it’s here to stay, at least for a few months. The weeks of grey, cloud filled drudgery, scrounging the produce aisle for something, anything, fresh and somewhat local (read:

Birthday’s are for Eating

It’s been a few days. I’ve been in a food coma, and I’ve just woken up for a brief spell to tell you all about it before I dive back into another round tonight. Birthdays were always about food. Just like most holidays around the world, at least part of the celebration is centered on
