She was tired. You can see it in her eyes for they lacked a sparkle. You can see it in her smile as little frown lines become more permanent. Even how she stands looks like a person who is about to fall over. It wasn’t because she was deprived of sleep, it was because she was starting to …

Childhood Woes and Baked Potatoes
All of our parents have stories about their childhood woes. It is the infamous I had to walk 5 miles uphill both way tales that were developed to keep kids from complaining about their lives. I’m so curious how parents are going to handle this conversation with their homebound pandemic kids. It’ll be hard to compete with …
Celebrating Betty Crocker and Nachos
Betty Crocker. It seems like every mom had a cookbook with that iconic name splayed across the cover. The one I remember the most is the red one with all the food pictures on the cover. It was simply Betty Crocker’s Cookbook. (I asked Mom to send me a picture and she had her original and a newer version.) …
Drug of Choice
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 …
No Time Tikka Masala
You know what is hard sometimes…being a food blogger. Now before I get you shaking your head or wagging your finger at me, let me explain. I haven’t been cooking much lately….or eating as much either. Between the balance of dog training and a few Crohn’s issues, it has been a little bit of a challenge to …
I’m a Muffin Monster
I have rewritten this sentence about a dozen times. There is a factoid that I want to share but I can’t think of way to talk about it. It isn’t anything mind-blowing or to be concerned about. It is a little “quirk” about my personality that reared its ugly head the other day. It has to do with …
Rolling on with My Craving for Crustacean
Don’t you hate when you are craving something? I get in these moods where I start thinking about a food and have tunnel vision. I go to a restaurant and feel sad if they don’t have it. I start reading recipes to figure out how I can make it at home. I plan ahead on my weekly menu to …
3 Hot Dogs Walk into a Bar
A hotdog walks into a bar and asks for a drink. The bartender replies “We don’t serve food here.” Ah, yes, there is nothing like a bad joke or at least the ability to laugh at something. Quite “frank”ly, I have been a little consumed at finding the humor in life the last few weeks with …
