I’ve officially been writing Felt Like a Foodie for two years and I feel like I have been keeping a huge secret from my reader’s. Or maybe it isn’t a secret. Maybe you have been able to read between the lines and come to this conclusion on your own. The fact is I am a …

Are You Ready For Some Pizza???
Super Bowl Sunday came and I had BIG food plans until I looked out the window…SNOW!! My mind heard the sound effect of Pacman being eaten by ghosts. I did not want to run around to grocery stores when our roads were covered with fluff. (If my car could eat the snow like Pacman, it …
Meatballs…the Memory
Meatballs. Did you ever see that movie from 1979? I wasn’t feeling well the other day and it was on one of the “classic” movie channels. (I always feel old when movies I grew up with end up on the classic channels.) I couldn’t resist cuddling up in my woobie and watching the whole thing. …
Fearless Eggplant Parmesan
I love Italian food but it is not something I actively seek when I am eating in restaurants. I am spoiled from years of my family’s cooking. It is rare that something can compare to the flavor’s I grew up eating. (I was never picky when it came to Mom’s sauce.) Over the years, I …
Piccolo Sogno: Foodie Fun Day #12
A little dream. Whether you want to grow up to be a teacher, a veterinarian or a truck driver, your dreams are what steer you on the highway called life. (Yes, I wanted to be a truck driver.) Tony Priolo’s dream was to have an authentic Italian restaurant that got to the heart and soul …

Lasagna as I know It
*I have deleted my original post and hope you will like my substitution. Who doesn’t like lasagna? When you mention the dish; a person is likely to tell you about how their family made it. Everyone’s family recipe is “the best” and people tend to lean toward the flavors they grew up eating. After I …
Tomato Sauce: Mother Sauces Part 4 of 6
Of all the Mother Sauces, Tomato sauce is the one people are most familiar with eating or cooking. I could even dare to say it is the mother of all Mother Sauces. I have never met a person who doesn’t like tomato sauce. The tomato sauce is probably the only mother sauce that can be …
Pizza Rigatoni
I think you may need to sit down before you read the next sentence. I’m not sure if I have admitted this before but there are nights that I don’t feel like cooking. (GASP!) It may happen because I am overtired or under inspired. Either way, I still have to figure out how to put …
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 …
