Summer has finally peeked out from behind the clouds here in Victoria and we’ve been taking advantage of every barely warm moment. If it’s not raining, we find something to do . Last week we had to go downtown for a little eyeglass repair emergency (the trouble with kids…), and hit the busy streets right […]

Today is a big day for this excited little girl. Today is her first birthday. One amazingly long year ago, my water broke and within three hours I held her in my arms. She has grown so much since those first few hours of life and I am so glad I could be at home to watch
What to do when life gets hectic and you can’t think through the noisy haze of daily life? Grab a board and hit the waves? Only if you’re one of many crazy west coasters who think 7°C (45°F) is somehow tolerable. No, I’ll just sit on the beach with a glass of prosecco or white

She has a cold. I’m so very tired. I baked a pie, made ravioli from scratch, baked a four layer cake, made fish tacos (tortillas from scratch) and hosted a little party all in three days. I’m tired. Oh…and I got a business license. Notice that logo up there…yup, I’m all legal now. Need photographic

Today, I was going to give you a little history behind me, Guilty Kitchen and the years leading up to my escapades in culinary extremism. You know, a sort of “here’s where I began” kind of post, with lots of pictures of me as a fat high schooler. Oh joy. Instead, I am going
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

Because I live in a temperate area of the globe, much of the “height” of summer produce doesn’t arrive here until quite late in the season. Last week at the farmer’s market, we scored some super fresh ears of corn. We’re talking mere hours after they’d been picked. I didn’t have them on my shopping

Herfst. Automne. Autunno. Outono. Otoño. Fall. Autumn. In other words, my favourite season of them all. Maybe it’s the scarves, or because I can wear my Ugg boots. Maybe it’s the changing of the leaves or the smell of woodsmoke in the air. Of the many reasons for loving Autumn, I know for sure that

Oh no. Here I go again with the hippie food. I know, I know…you want to see meat! More meat woman! Well, just hold on to your hot little hands for a few days….the meat’s a-comin’! In fact, I’m away this weekend at a BBQ for my husband’s online game playin’ buddies…don’t laugh! They are
