This post is originally from Guilty Kitchen - Forging elite nutrition. Pig butts. Made you look. No really, there were a lot of pig butts, all up in my grill. Like, 700lb. pig butts. We went on a leisurely walk in the woods with them while they munched on roots and tubers and whatever else it is pigs like to root around for. It was amazing and made me want to go out and buy up a bunch of li
This post is originally from Guilty Kitchen - Forging elite nutrition. 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 two thin
This post is originally from Guilty Kitchen - Forging elite nutrition. Baby Bo, who is still being fed by his mama…but likes a little thumb now and then too. 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 qua
This post is originally from Guilty Kitchen - Forging elite nutrition.I don’t often write posts centered specifically around consumer products….so expect a return to the normal recipe post by the weekend… BUT… This. Vacuum. Rocked. My. Socks. OFF! Seriously. I have been using a Shop Vac for two years and before that I only used a broom (hardwood floors) and before that̷
This post is originally from Guilty Kitchen - Forging elite nutrition. Happy Times. Spring is here, the clocks have moved forward (which means more evening sun for those 800m runs at 5pm) and oh yeah, we bought a house. WHAT?! Yup, bought a house.

PRing my back squat Yup. Time for one of those non-recipe related posts. One where I can deluge information on you like the proverbial projectile vomit of an overworked weightlifter. Oh sorry…..bad analogy there. So most of you know, by now, that I switched over to CrossFit last summer, roughly seven months ago. Before CrossFit I was doing a lot of running and Beachbody workout programs suc
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 see those couples out, driving their crazy-ass exp
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 to be experimenting with dinner waffles…you heard me. Curry scented waff
Hey guys! I promised an ab video and here it is! Watch the video for demonstrations but here is the rep scheme if you want to add this workout to your current programming.

By now, if you follow me on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, you’ll have noticed that Adrian and I have taken up a challenge for ourselves and anyone willing to put their fear of failure aside and do something fun, motivating and good for you! We started a public 100 Day Push Up Challenge for anyone and everyone. So on day one, you do one push up, on day two you do two push ups, etc. etc. un
So, in lieu of a recipe today, because that gets old, right? (I mean really…I eat like five things nowadays…) I’m going to show you how to make your very own DIY squat stands! These babies will bring you hours of joy, smiles and maybe some triumphs. They might also cause pain and heavy sweating, but that’s par for the course. They will cost you less then a meal out and the
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 any bad habits when the calendar rolls over and I
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 on the floor daily and a brand new house to unpack and decorate for Christmas, I
I woke up today feeling like myself for the first time in probably two weeks. It’s been awful quiet around the blog…and here’s why. The above photo is our old house. A house we LOVED. A house with a huge open floor plan that allowed us to do crossfit in our living room. But we were renting it, and the owners decided they wanted it back. So we were forced to find something
So much going on around here, I’m finding it very hard to get my writing mojo concentrated on GK. Harlow (our little pitty) is still sick, the lump won’t go away, and after another ultrasound this week, it looks like surgery is in the cards for her. Probably mid way through the month. There seems to be a foreign object lodged in her body that needs to come out ASAP. I have an i
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 that we were told may be congenital arthritis, but then suddenly she had a swollen lump on her belly

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 about the paper copy vs. the digital. I’ve written for several online websites, but I always really w
For the longest time I wanted to be smaller. To shrink. To be thin.I grew up thinking that slim is beautiful, skinny arms and legs, a tiny waist, being able to slip into a size 2 little black dress and have it hang in just the right way. The signs were all around me. “Nutritional shakes” and programs were all the rage when I was growing up, people were running left right and center wit
I haven’t done this in a while, so it’s not quite Wordless, but I’m going to be doing this every Wednesday. Be it an iPhone shot or a full on edited DSLR, it will make an appearance here.I got a lot of comments on this yesterday and thought I would repost it here:This is4-5 days of Paleo groceries. It cost $270. About 90% is either organic, local or both. Anyone who says eating t
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 and lazy summer days to the cooler months of fall are something I take in with gusto every year. I am totally

This is what most people think when they think about the Paleo “diet” (though, I like to call it a lifestyle as diet implies that you are depriving yourself or trying to lose weight). Meat, bacon, fat, etc. And they wouldn’t be too far off, though Paleo represents a lot more than just eating meat. After delving into the lifestyle these past few months, I’ve come to realize
Let’s talk chili. I know what you’re thinking. “It’s still summer!” “I’m too hot to eat chili!” blah blah blah… I don’t feel sorry for you, because you probably live in some subtropical climate that’s alive with sweltering heat all summer long. The weather ’round here, on the other hand, consists of about three weeks of ̶
Once in a while, a truly great thing comes along that cannot be overlooked. Sometimes it’s a piece of wonderful art that you cannot take your eyes off, or a fabulous pair of heels that you may never wear, but will also never regret buying. Maybe it’s a lucky lottery ticket that pays for your next vacay to a tropical paradise, or simply a wedge of the creamiest, dreamiest cheese ever i
We’ve all been there. It’s the middle of summer and all of a sudden, everything is ready. All at once every single plant in your garden and tree in your yard is brimming with an overabundance of produce. Too many carrots, lettuce spilling out into the pathways, trees dropping fruit all over the place and attracting wasps and always, always too much zucchini. (...)Read the rest of Zuc
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 for me I live in the land of all of these glorious fruits
Summer time. Finally. For two years now the weather gods have decided to overlook our little island and instead bless their good fortune on other locations. We’ve had exactly six hot days and by hot I mean over 20°C. Which isn’t saying much. That said, I’m not one for super hot weather either. I feel like I can’t move, can’t get my normal activities out of the way. T
RANT WARNING! If you don’t want to read the rant, skip to the next section! So it seems I have sparked some serious negative commentary about my “complete and utter obsession” with health and fitness. Some people think that what I say and do on my blog is what I spend ALL DAY doing. Well you would be completely wrong if you thought that. I am a mother. First and foremost. I spen
So I’ve been getting a lot of flak lately for my frequent picture taking while sweating. What’s up with that? I know I haven’t always been as obsessed with fitness and health as I have been in the past four months, but fitness and healthy foods have always had their home here at Guilty Kitchen. The whole reason I named my blog “Guilty Kitchen” was because I wanted so
Whoa nelly. Did I just shock you with my time travel back to the early years of this millenium? I did didn’t I? I blew your miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind. Well, I blow my own mind whenever I look at this picture. That. Is. ME. At 18 years old, posing for my wonderful graduation shot. I even got my hair did. You like it? But let’s get down to the nitty gritty here. I weighed 18
So, just a little note before I get to the recipe. Three Years. Yup, it’s my blogiversary. Did I bake a ridiculous cake? No. Did I throw a blogger party and invite all my food blogger friends? No. Did I instead make these cookie balls, completely forget about the anniversary date and go on like nothing happened until I went to write this post. Likely. BUT… I am going to instead
