Birthdays’ occur just once a year. Bummer… 30th birthdays happen only once in a lifetime. Win! I wanted to do something amazingly special for my 30th this year. I wanted a perfect Paleo Carrot Cake, a beach, sunny weather, sand, a hot tub and peace and relaxation. I got everything I wanted, except the last […]
I’ve struggled with dairy since I was about 20 years old. After years of tolerating it (or so I thought), I suddenly became bloated and uncomfortable every time I ate any kind of dairy product (mainly low fat varieties of low quality dairy). I tried Lactaid for a while but gave up as it is extremely expensive

Life is pretty sweet right now. I’ve got these two crazy, ridiculously cute, unimaginably annoying, super loving, curious, disturbingly loud and dirty kids. They rock my world and show me what life is truly about every. Single. Damn. Day. I’ll be honest, sometimes, for the briefest of seconds, I wish I’d never had kids. I

Here it is, what you’ve all been waiting for! Waffles. Who doesn’t like crispy, fluffy waffles with pockets for filling with whatever kid of semi-liquid edible gold you can think of. I like to put a little ghee on mine, or some coconut manna (coconut butter). But in the next few days, I’m going

It’s over. The holiday season is gone. The decorations are put away, the bags of ripped paper are in the recycling, the stuffed bellies are recovering and the year has started anew. It’s time to make resolutions, amends, promises…blah, blah, blah…. I don’t usually fall into the camp of resolution makers. I try to fix

Because I’m slow, because I will do everything in my power to make my house clean, running functionally and be fully stocked with glorious food, because I’ve had back to back to back illnesses ranging from stomach flu to severe vertigo to the common cold and because I have two kids, a dog that poos

Some of you may know me in the flesh, some of you may not. If you follow me in my personal life, you may have heard that our new dog, Harlow, the chocolate lab/pit bull cross that we rescued in May, had become suddenly and mysteriously ill. She’d come with some problems in her back hocks
I don’t like to toot my own horn. Much. So some of you may know that I am now officially a “writer”, though in my own mind, I’ve always been one. It’s nice to be validated by an actual in print magazine once in a while you know. Us old folks have a certain feeling

Autumn is a time of crisp, cool mornings. The sound of leaves crunching under your feet and the smell of wood smoke hanging in the air like the last drops of dew on a spider’s web. It’s a time of year we tend to overlook those simple things in life, but the transition from hot
Being that this blog is still called “Guilty Kitchen”, there is, and always will be, an undying need for guilt ridden foods. If there’s one thing people are always asking me for, it’s desserts. Summer time screams for desserts filled with plump and juicy berries or sweet stone fruit picked fresh from the tree. Lucky
