Winter in a small town is like being transported to another world. (I mean a new place not the soap opera, Another World, but that would be kind of cool to live in a pretend soap opera world.) There is a peacefulness because unless you have somewhere to go….you stay home. You get projects down …
Pasta
Now Playing in My Kitchen: Big Fork and Pasta
My brain seems a little frazzled right now. I’ve eaten a lot of really great food these last couple of weeks and now I am trying to get back into the swing of my own kitchen. I keep waiting for someone to present me with a menu, put it on a small plate and do …
The V Word
Sometimes when you write a blog, you have to talk about uncomfortable subjects. I dread having to write these types of posts but alas it is just a subject I can’t avoid much longer. I’m talking about the “V” word. Sigh. I’m not sure why I have such a hard time saying it. It is …
Time is a Changin’ Mac and Cheese
Change. People really have a hard time accepting change. Adjusting to something out of the ordinary seems to throw most people off balance. (I say off balance because it is nicer than calling people crazy.) The time change this weekend is a big one for a lot of people. There are certain people in my …
Happy Singles Awareness Day
Valentine’s Day. If you have a schmoopie-woopie, cuddle-pie in your life, you probably look forward to a day of love and romance. (Or if you are married it is just another day that ends in ‘y’.) But this year I want to focus on my readers who don’t have that special someone in their life. …
Ravioli Potsticker
I have a shocking confession to make to you today. I hope you are sitting down. Put down any hot liquids so you don’t burn yourself. Ready? I am not perfect. (Sit for a second and let this shocking news sink in before you read any further.) It is kind of like a supermodel that …
Red Gold Lasagna Party
One of the fun things about writing Felt Like a Foodie is that I get offers to try things. I read most offers but honestly don’t feel comfortable promoting products that I don’t already use. (Okay but I will totally cave in if it is something like a vacation to a place with cool food! …
Cibo Racconto: A Foodie Fun Day
The day after Thanksgiving is one of the hardest days of the year if you ask me. Your belly is all stretched out from the day before but you are running around so much on Friday, you don’t exactly make the best food choices. (And for some reason the leftovers you were counting on for …
Fabio Fettuccine
It is August. It is August? It is August!!! Anyway I type it, I can’t get over how quickly this year is flying by! Everyone I know is busy (I am starting to hate that word) and can’t seem to fit in all the events that life has to offer. I am no different. The …
Baby Steps
Baby steps. Anyone who has ever recovered from any type of surgery understands the baby steps involved. You sleep. You don’t sleep. You can’t drive. You aren’t allowed to drive. You shouldn’t be driving. You can’t lift, carry or push things. It is a frustrating process and makes me understand why babies cry so much. …
