I am a shrimp. Think about it if you were something…anything…that lived in water…what would you be? Could you be a jellyfish? Something that people look at in awe but maybe not something approachable. Are you a salmon? Always going upstream to keep the circle of life going. Maybe you are a narwhal? The magical badass of the ocean. …

Francesca’s Tavola
I had a case of the Monday blues today because this will be my final post previewing the upcoming Chicago Northwest Restaurant Week. (February 22, 2019-March 3, 2019.). I had a great time dreaming of all the places that I could go and say “Let’s Not Cook.” (Here is a list of participating restaurants and some of …
Your New Favorite Shrimp Pasta Salad
One of my favorite parts of summer is also one of my most dreaded parts of the summer. It isn’t the fact that we finally have beautiful sunshine and yet the afternoons are too steamy to go out. It isn’t the fact that our scenery in NW Indiana looks so amazing that our roads get …
Chicken Khao Soi (Small Town Version)
During our single digit days of winter, I had an obsession. It wasn’t anything too perverse or weird at least by my standards. It was something that made me excited about the new year and trying new things. (I can see how your mind is wandering.) I was preoccupied with following Steve Dolinsky’s Facebook and …
One Shrimp, Two Shrimp….
One Shrimp. Two Shrimp. Pink Shrimp. Poop Shrimp. I bought a bag of shrimp, all safe in a stash. Pulling off the shells and placing them in the trash. I looked at the pile all pretty and pink when all of a sudden I saw something that I think stinks. They call it a “vein” …
Tomato Jam in a BLT World
I can’t believe Labor Day is over. OVER!!!!!!!! Did you barbeque or spend some time outside? Did you just enjoy the extra day off in your workweek? We’ve done the same thing for the past seventeen years…..we celebrate our anniversary. There are some years we go away and others we just go out for a …
Eggplant…Nice or Nefarious
Nefarious. Nefarious? I know I have heard that word before but I wasn’t positive of the meaning. There is a commercial on television that uses that word. Kudos to an advertising group that uses words with more than three syllables! It was kind of refreshing for me to hear a word and have to look …
Tinga-ling with Self Awareness
If I had to give a title to this winter, I think I would call it the Winter of Self-Awareness. (I’m not talking the naughty self-awareness that no one ever talks about.) I’m talking about looking into myself and being aware of some things I want to change. I’ve stayed home a lot due to …
Happy Bastille Day?
Happy Bastille Day to all of my French Readers!!! (Unless you only read French and then you probably don’t follow Felt Like a Foodie.) I actually don’t know much about Bastille Day. (I’m a lousy historian.) After about 30 minutes online, I still didn’t know anything about Bastille Day. (I also have a lousy attention …
Garlic Bread Paradise
Sometimes I surprise myself. Not the startling kind of surprise like saying boo to someone coming around the corner. (But I do like to do that.) It was more of the catching myself off guard kind of surprise when I wanted to make a different recipe for garlic bread. It wasn’t surprising that I was …
