I love when I open my email (feltlikeafoodie@gmail.com) and find a request for the foodblog. I take all my emails seriously and try to fill the demands of the public. (Public meaning my relatives.) I received such an email this weekend. It went something like this: Dear Foodie, You are incredibly talented, very funny and …

Trivia Trick or Treat
DING-DONG! Trick or Treat? DING DONG! Trick or Treat? DING DONG! Trick or Treat? This is the sound of my what my house will sound like on Monday night. We are fortunate to live in a neighborhood full of darling trick or treaters. (Okay, not all of them are darling. Example: Two “hoochie” girls who …
Chili Weather Is Here
I get a fair amount of emails from people making “requests.” Some of them are even about food! (You know who you are!) I make a list of people’s interests and hope eventually I can make everyone happy. (Once again, I am ONLY speaking about food-related happiness.) A couple of week’s ago, I received a …
Head Cold Antidote
I love when the season changes from summer to fall. The colors of the trees outside are my favorite shades of orange, yellow, brown and red. The air has just enough chill to warrant a coat but you don’t NEED one. And the comfort food cravings make it easy to plan every meal. The only …
I’m Glad It’s Roast Chicken Night
I was very excited last week because one of my favorite stores had roasting chickens on sale. The thought of cooking this chicken was so thrilling that I had to call one of my friends about my bird. Her response was “what do you do with a roasting chicken?” (She is one of my prettiest …
Mini-Thai Chicken Salad Cups
I hope everyone has had a wonderful and safe Memorial Day. I had the joy of attending my brother’s annual “Big A** Barbeque” this year. (He actually calls it Big A** BBQ, I am not making fun of people with big bottoms.) I was a bit concerned about showing up given that my smaller hinny …
Tarra”gone” Chicken
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I love a good chicken recipe. It still amazes me that one piece of meat can marry so well with an abundance of flavors and cooking techniques. With that said, nothing compliments a chicken breast better than a nice rich sauce. (Actually, I bet there are some roosters …
PB & J Party
Can you recall the first sandwich you ever ate? Most of us will probably say, Peanut Butter and Jelly. When I grew up, it was the standard sandwich in my lunch box and I never tired of it. I liked it the old fashion way with smooth peanut butter, grape jelly and white bread. Even …
Marsala Madness
Living in a small town sometimes will make you a creative cook. You have to substitute ingredients depending on their availability or distance to the closest store. It can be as simple as using cheddar instead of Monterey jack or maybe Yukon potatoes instead of Idaho potatoes. In cases like that, the flavor profile in …
A Really Grape Chicken Salad
When you think about lunch, what kind of food does that make you think about? Do you think of it just as fuel to get you through the day or is it a welcomed break to your busy day? In our house, my husband and I have the luxury of sharing a lot of lunches …
