How often do you think of grammar, parts of speech or word origins? (If you are a regular reader of Felt Like a Foodie you are saying that I don’t think about it enough!) Do you get excited when you see your favorite noun in a sentence? Does it make your skin crawl if you …

Eggroll in a Bowl
I’m trying to make a decision if I have a bad habit, an obsession or something that requires therapy. When you enjoy something when does it become an addiction? I’m seeing an issue and I’m not sure if it is an innocent behavior or a serious problem. It has to do with bowls. I think I wrote …
Tell Me Something Happy Tetrazzini
It is back to school time. For the past month, I smile each time I see the aisles of supplies in the store, hear the squeaking breaks on a school bus and seeing everyone’s first day of school pictures. (I’m also hearing a lot of complaints from my parent friends who get overwhelmed with their back …
Have a Tart
I have a confession. So far, this year has not been one of my favorites….maybe you could tell because I haven’t been writing as much. It started off on a couple of really hard notes that made the winter end with a snowstorm of emotion. The spring was consumed with dog training and my days were …
Corn Soup…Corn Chowder…Corn Choup
How can I say this? It is going to be hard. It is going to come out so I guess I need to be the one to say it….I think I’m a fraud. Maybe I’m being too hard on myself. It isn’t like I stole anything or deliberately tried or tried to deceive people. It wasn’t that …
Reuniting And It Tastes So Good
It has happened…I have reached that age where high school reunions become important. It isn’t like the first high school reunion where you go mostly to see who got fat and who has the hottest wife/husband. You side eye the gal who was flat chested who now has a huge upper hemisphere and notice the …
Macaron Madness
A girl’s best friend can be a lot of things. It can be someone you’ve known for years who knows who you are and where you’ve been. It can be relative who you find easy to talk to and who is willing to hold your hand through good times and bad ones. It can even be a …
Wassup with Wasabi?
How do you feel about substitutions? Do always cut up your garlic or do you sometimes take a scoop from the jar? Do you make your beef stock from scratch or do you have a favorite boxed brand? Do you always put real cream in your coffee or do use a “creamer?” This week I …
Mexican Street Corn in a Bowl (Bowl-elotes)
July means only one thing in Indiana….FAIR TIME!! Counties all over the state are gathering their best tractors, animals and 4-H projects to showcase everything that living in the heartland encompasses and dreaming of blue ribbons. The hard work of all of these animal owners and their dedication of trying to be the best in …
Of Mice and Grills…..
With summer officially here, it is time to break out the grill. I know there are folks who grill all year long but I really don’t enjoy grilling enough to want to do it in snow and cold. (You need to realize my grill is behind my house and if it were snowing I’d have …
