Kids. I have zero in my household (unless you count emotional age then there are 2). But I do have more kids than I can count that call me “aunt.” I love it. I get to be the fun, cool one who never has to be responsible for a child’s behavior. I can always say …

Spring Rolls Me Away
Where do you live? Have you been enjoying a “normal” spring in your area? I am in the Midwest and spring is a rollercoaster of temperatures, weather events and emotions. For most of us “lifers,” we aren’t surprised when one day we have 80 degrees and the next week it snows. We get used to …
You say Potato, I say Poutine
One of the best things about writing about food is that there is always something new to learn about. There are trends with certain foods like quinoa, bacon and kale. (Bacon is not a trend to me because I’ve been all over it for years!) I’ve seen how the definition of healthy eating can range …
The Devil is in the Detail Eggs
One of the many highlights of writing Felt Like a Foodie is the communication I have with my readers. I get Facebook posts telling them that I made them laugh. I get comments on how they tried a recipe and just loved it! And then I get some emails that are let’s say a little …
Pi Day of the Century
So today is the big day for all my nerdy friends and readers. It is Pi Day!!! (Please note the date and time I posted this blog…3/14/15 9:26. Am I blowing your beautiful minds right now?) But why is Pi Day so special? First, because nerds need a reason to have a party!! Due to …
A Toast To Vegans
If you put your friends into a Venn diagram, what would be the intersection? Would it be their looks or economic class? (That would be a little shallow!) Maybe it is their love of sports or the outdoors? It could be something as simple as the fact that you grew up together and you remained …
Pack a Peck of Pickled Onions
Are there words out there you just like to say? Maybe they twirl off your tongue like with one of those cool rolling “R” sounds. (I can’t roll and sound like an idiot when I try.) Or maybe it is a word that sounds like another word such as peanuts. (Wanna have some fun? Talk …
Are the Holidays Making You Crackers?
Crackers. Loco. Bonkers. Daffy. Cuckoo. Deranged. Loopy. No those aren’t names Santa rejected for reindeers nor are they the names of some of the helpers in the Santa’s Workshop. (I have to say “helpers” because apparently elf is now considered politically incorrect.) Those first words define how I am feeling a week before Christmas. I …
Mrs. Claus Should Say “Please” If She Wants My Pimento Cheese Recipe
Ring. Who is calling now? The caller ID says “HoHoHo.” Hmmm, Santa? He was just here, why would he be calling again? Did he forget to tell me something? I picked up the phone and hear a woman’s shrill high voice talking a mile a minute. I stammered “Mrsssss. Claus, is that you?” And then …
August Bon Appetit Cook the Cover
There are many reasons why I love the month of August. First and most importantly, it is the month my beloved husband was born. He definitely makes my world a better place. (Um, do those sweet words count as a birthday gift?) I also love August because kids start going back to school and my …
