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 …

Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving! I wanted to take a second and just thank you all for supporting Felt Like a Foodie. You have all touched my life in a way that you will never know. Many of you know my story but for those of you who don’t, the Post Tribune was kind enough to publish a …
Tokio Pub: Battle of the Chefs
I don’t care who you are but when it comes to cooking, I think we are all a little competitive. Whether you are competing with yourself to make something tastier or you are cooking with friends, you always want your dish to be the most original, the tastiest and presented like a piece of art. …
A Chuckle Before You Gobble
The week of Thanksgiving is upon us and there is a lot to do. I thought I’d give you all a little pep talk about the big day and a rough timeline to help you focus. (Honestly, I’m not sure how this will help you focus but hopefully you will get a giggle out of …
Demystifying The Bloody Mary Bar
The holiday season is quickly approaching which means making time for your family and friends. (Not to mention it is the season to eat and drink until your pants start to hurt!) One of my favorite things to do with a cluster of people that I don’t get to see often is go to the …
Foodie Fun Day: CHILL 2013
I felt frozen this week. In our snowbelt area of NW Indiana, we got hit with multiple inches of snow and some pretty brisk temperatures. The only thing that seemed to warm me up was the thought of going to the LUXEHOME CHILL event at The Merchandise Mart (Chicago). The seventh year, the night brought together …
Don’t Squash Your Inspirations Without Trying Them
I have received a few emails asking me about my health since my surgery this past spring. (I have ignored the requests to post pictures of me in a hospital gown.) My life with Crohn’s will and always has been a battle but I am doing better. I would be happier if I could gain …
A Foodie Fun Day: Pecking Order
Am I the only one who feels you never forget your first? I mean, the first chef to truly knock your socks off with their food. (I’m not sure where you thought I was going on this one.) When I first started blogging, I had the honor to enjoy a huge feast prepared by Kristine …
Sahara’s Pita Revolution
One of my biggest adjustments to living in a small town was finding different options when it came to dining out. In our area of Northwest Indiana, we have multiple franchised restaurants that all seem to have the same menu but very few unique, creative choices. So when I first came across Sahara Restaurant (1701 Franklin …
Guilt Free Pumpkincide
I lost a lot of sleep last night. I’m not sure if it had to do with the time change. (Thanks Mom for the bizarro time change sensitivity gene.) Or if it had to do with this nasty little cold that has been hanging on the past two weeks. I just know that when I …
