Part 2: Mindset. A gigantic proportion of my blogging mindset was wrapped up with “authenticity” of recipes. I haven’t done a genetic test but I come from a vast group of different nationalities. I can’t claim anything I like to cook is one hundred percent derived from any one country. I spend a considerable amount of time …

2022: Mindset Reset

It was simply Betty Crocker’s Cookbook. (I asked Mom to send me a picture and she had her original and a newer version.) …

New. It is funny how the turning of a calendar page turns everything new. People have new goals, hairstyles and diet plans. There are new sales, bargains and opportunities everywhere. We even clean out drawers, closets and basements just to celebrate the start of something new. I can get behind fresh starts and new beginnings with the exception of …
Oh Sheet (Pan)! I Haven’t Written in Awhile
Every now and then I need to take a break from writing Felt Like a Foodie not because I have nothing to write about….it is quite the opposite. There is so much going on in the world that words flow from my fingers…and then I press delete. One of my biggest goals in writing this blog …
Unpredictably Predictable Chili
Can something be predictably unpredictable or is it that some things are unpredictably predictable? I’m trying to decide if this is the way life is laid out. It seems like there are events in life that we go through and we kind of know what to expect but it isn’t always the same. There is always …
