A while back, it was Father’s Day. A couple of days before that, it was my daughter’s first birthday. Hard to believe that it has been a whole year since her birth. She is coming along in leaps and bounds. Every day she makes me giggle and smile. Just today she started “kissing” back. Albeit a wide […]

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
As you may have garnered from the tone of my most recent posts, going back to late April, I’ve been a little down. I have been avoiding Twitter and other Social Media time suckers.

Ice cream. Ever the temperamental beast. In the recent past, I’ve made ice cream without a machine and somewhat regretted the results. Although a mighty tasty concoction I could make, the consistency was never quite….well, right. After searching for months to find a suitable (read: affordable) machine, I was dissapointed to not have found anything

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
