Who do you love? I kept hearing the chorus of this rock n’ roll classic over and over in my head on from last Saturday and Sunday at the 11thannual BON APPÉTIT Presents Chicago Gourmet. (A little fun fact….did you know Bo Diddley wrote “Who do you love” in the 1950’s?) Walking around this year’s …

Chicago Gourmet 2018 Part 1 Rock The Fork
I can’t say I’m a “Party like a rock star” kind of gal but I felt that way this morning after spending the weekend enjoying the 11thannual Bon Appetit Presents Chicago Gourmet. Taking place in Chicago’s very own Millennium Park September 29-30, the stage was set for an epic weekend where chefs were the rock stars …
If Loving Carbonara is Wrong…I Don’t Wanna Be Right
There is one thing that writing Felt Like a Foodie has taught me over the years….no…it has nothing to do with food…..it has to do with the fact that I am wrong….a lot. Every time I start to think about a particular blog, I look up words for inspiration and to make sure I am …
Compound Words and Compound Butter
How often do you think of grammar, parts of speech or word origins? (If you are a regular reader of Felt Like a Foodie you are saying that I don’t think about it enough!) Do you get excited when you see your favorite noun in a sentence? Does it make your skin crawl if you …
Eggroll in a Bowl
I’m trying to make a decision if I have a bad habit, an obsession or something that requires therapy. When you enjoy something when does it become an addiction? I’m seeing an issue and I’m not sure if it is an innocent behavior or a serious problem. It has to do with bowls. I think I wrote …
Tell Me Something Happy Tetrazzini
It is back to school time. For the past month, I smile each time I see the aisles of supplies in the store, hear the squeaking breaks on a school bus and seeing everyone’s first day of school pictures. (I’m also hearing a lot of complaints from my parent friends who get overwhelmed with their back …
Have a Tart
I have a confession. So far, this year has not been one of my favorites….maybe you could tell because I haven’t been writing as much. It started off on a couple of really hard notes that made the winter end with a snowstorm of emotion. The spring was consumed with dog training and my days were …
Corn Soup…Corn Chowder…Corn Choup
How can I say this? It is going to be hard. It is going to come out so I guess I need to be the one to say it….I think I’m a fraud. Maybe I’m being too hard on myself. It isn’t like I stole anything or deliberately tried or tried to deceive people. It wasn’t that …
Reuniting And It Tastes So Good
It has happened…I have reached that age where high school reunions become important. It isn’t like the first high school reunion where you go mostly to see who got fat and who has the hottest wife/husband. You side eye the gal who was flat chested who now has a huge upper hemisphere and notice the …
Macaron Madness
A girl’s best friend can be a lot of things. It can be someone you’ve known for years who knows who you are and where you’ve been. It can be relative who you find easy to talk to and who is willing to hold your hand through good times and bad ones. It can even be a …
