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 …
Cultural Appreciation
After my taco crawl blog last week, I got into a conversation with a few people about cultural appropriation. I usually stay away from anything that may be considered a “hot topic” but I felt that this particular cultural guardian that I spoke to needed to understand the difference between “appropriation” and “appreciation.” If you hadn’t …
My Friends Went to NOLA and All I Got Was a Craving For Cajun Food
Spring Break. Do you go on a spring break with your kids? Is it a time you remember from college? Do most couples take a spring break? Do retired people? Do single folks? I just don’t know. A week-long vacation that is a clear “break” between the long weary winter and the first days of spring sounds amazing! My …
The Tale of Spaghetti Hos
One of my favorite and most time-consuming hobbies is reading about origins of food. Given the vast amount of information flying around these days, it is sometimes hard to decipher what is the truth and what has been creatively changed for an entertainment value. I like to think that here at Felt Like a Foodie that …
Road Blocks and Head Cocks
I do my best to keep this blog on the theme of food but every now and then I need to go off topic and talk about the other biggest thing in my life…Crohn’s Disease. To refresh some of my newer followers, I have had Crohn’s Disease for over 40 years. My life has been like …
Don’t Be Stressed, Dumpling
How many times a month do you say you are busy or stressed out? It has become your go to answer each time someone asks “what’s up” or “how are you doing?” I’m good with my friends who on occasion use this as their response but there are those people who say it all the time and …
Romaine Calm
I think I need to compose myself. I’m at that point that I need to make sure my fingers slow down and not type words I don’t mean but I’ve really had it. I’m done. Ka-Poot! I’m talking about this winter! I was misled last week by a “reliable source” that we’d only be seeing one more day …
