Apple Fennel Slaw

The dilemma is real. Did you grow up eating apples, oranges and bananas all year round? Yeah, me too. It struck me as crazy the first time I learned that apples aren’t available all year round from within the borders of my own country. It surprised me even more to know that during the summer […]

Grainy Dijon Potato Salad

Things are starting to slow down a bit at Guilty Kitchen lately, and I feel like I should explain myself. I have this baby in utero, and it’s like, huge okay? I can’t stand up in the kitchen (barefoot no less) for more than 20-30 minutes at a time before I start to feel like

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

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

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:

Avocado Cilantro Dressing

Pssst….. Guess what today is? 27 years ago today, my poor mother laboured for many hours in a hospital bed. Then I came into the world, all 5 lbs. 10oz of me. My older sister’s dreams of being an only child were shattered in those moments and life has never been the same. That’s right,

Fresh Fruit Salsa

Just a quick entry today, as I am catching up on household chores after a week long visit with my sister and her utterly adorable daughter. I love babies but it only made me more apprehensive for what may be a coming storm to the Guilty household. We are about to be a family of
