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 …
Foodie Fun Day #6: Grand Chefs Gala Part I (The Event)
Last night I had the honor of attending the 15th Annual Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Grand Chefs Gala and Jean Banchet Awards for Culinary Excellence, benefitting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The Havana themed night started at 6 p.m with a 2-hour showcase of 40 of Chicago’s finest chefs preparing and presenting their signature hors d’oeuvres. …
Upcoming Events…
As promised last year, I wanted to give people a head’s up on a few wonderful food and wine events that are taking place in the near future. First, the 15th annual Fairmont Hotel and Resorts Grand Chefs Gala/Jean Banchet Awards for Culinary Excellence is taking place THIS Friday night, January 27 at the Fairmont …
Year of the Dragon Pot Stickers
Happy New Year! Or as they say in China Happy New Year! (I translated for you since most of my readers don’t speak Chinese). It is my favorite of all Chinese holidays. (Okay, I don’t know any of the other holidays.) It is the year of the Dragon, the only legendary animal on the Chinese zodiac …
