For my second part of my Canadian Tire Kitchen Crew Mission I decided to show what can be done with dinner in less than 20 minutes of prep. Yes, it is possible to make a most fabulous dinner with such little prep time and I didn’t have to use a slow cooker either. Most people

As the summer draws to a close, I am hanging on tight with everything I can muster. The days are shorter, but I try to pack even more into every minute that I can. You might have noticed a lack of personal photos accompanying my recipes like I used to have. This I can blame

Hello there. Isn’t that a sexy face? How about this one? I guess this one is more of a pitiful face. It looks like someone beat him up. So what’s with the faces? This weekend we made our annual trip to get haircuts for the boys. We like to save a little moolah and only

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
