I’d like to thank the academy for this opportunity to write about the Oscar’s on my blog. A foodblog isn’t a place you would normally go to read about movies and today is no different! I am not a huge “moviegoer”. Sitting multiple hours in those uncomfortable seats really makes me antsy. I inhale popcorn …
Throw Me Some Beads?
As much as I have been enjoying my “Foodie Fun Days,” I will have to admit that I miss personal time cooking in my own kitchen. (My husband is missing it too.). I am having a challenge keeping up with seasonality and miscellaneous holidays. (Groundhog Day, Lincoln’s Birthday, Spay Your Dog Day, Etc.) For example, …
Michael Jordan’s Steak House: Foodie Fun Day 8
What does it mean when something is described as “magnificent?” When I hear that particular adjective I think of something that is impressive, amazing, sensational and even breathtaking. These would all be words that I could use for iconic basketball player Michael Jordan but they would also be synonymous with Michael Jordan’s Steak House in …
EGG-Cellent Day with the Girls
EGG-citing! EGG-traordinary! EGGS-hilerating! EGG-ceptional! Can you guess what I want to talk about today? Yep, EGGS! (I didn’t want to keep cracking you over the head with my puns.) Once a month or so, I get to have one of the best days ever with my girlfriends, Egg Day! The tradition started after our last …
Way to a Man’s Heart….
I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day. My favorite way to show the love I have for my husband is by slipping on the sexiest thing in my wardrobe…my apron! (He will disagree with that statement.) I am one of those women who believe that food is love and the most direct route to …
Foodie Fun Day #8: Bistro 157
“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” I am not sure what kind of love Elizabeth Barrett Browning was talking about but if it were about food she would have counted 157. Bistro 157 (157 Lincolnway, Valparaiso, Indiana) to be exact! Chef (and owner) Nicole Bissonnette’s passion for Bistro 157 is pure …
Foodie Fun Day #7: Duneland Beach Inn
“You should start a blog.” It was that one sentence that my husband said to me a year ago that made me start writing Felt Like a Foodie. The support I have received from friends, family and serious foodies has been overwhelming and humbling. Thank you for making my first year as a small town …
Lettuce Wrap About the Super Bowl
Are you ready for some football? (Um, not really.) Super Bowl XLVI will be played on February 5 in Indianapolis Indiana. It should be a great game between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots given the amazing season both teams had this year. (Okay, I have no clue how their year went …
Let It Marinate
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 …
Foodie Fun Day #6: Grand Chef’s Gala Part 2 (The Food)
I knew it was going to be a spectacular night when I stepped off of the elevator. My nostrils literally flared with joy as the scent of all different dishes passed my nose. This was my first (and hopefully not last) Grand Chef’s Gala benefitting The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and I did not know what …
