I woke up just lying there. My hand searched for my underpants and I was still bewildered as to what had happened. I called over and over for my husband. He arrived by my side with tears shining in his beautiful blue eyes, kissed my lips and told me he loved me. Do you think …
Story
Super Bowel 2015
Writing a food blog is more humbling than one might imagine. You get to have experiences with people and food that are unimaginable. And with each of these occurrences, I sit and wonder how did I ever get so lucky. (Kind of like how the players must feel when they get to a Super Bowl.) …
Happy Holidays
Just a quick note to wish all of my readers a happy holiday season. (Do you think I’m taking this Elf on the Shelf thing a little too far?)
Grateful Even For the Little Things
A complete stranger sitting next to me said….”Thank goodness Thanksgiving is only once a year.” I smiled politely and replied “Should it only be once a year?” This stranger looked at me inquisitively as I proceeded to say we should think about all of the things we are grateful for EVERY DAY. And I’m not …
Ode (Owed) to Joe
One of the best things about writing Felt Like a Foodie is the ability to share my zany stories about life and food with so many people. (By so many, I am including all my imaginary friends.) In the recent weeks, I’ve received some emails asking me how my Crohn’s disease has been since my …

Do you ever have crazy moments where you think the world revolves around you? Okay, maybe not the entire world but maybe certain things revolve around you like your family, job or friends. You have deranged moments thinking that actions of others are directly aimed at you even though every bit of your common sense …
Getting Lost at the Baconfest Finals
Yesterday was a huge day for Felt Like a Foodie. Most importantly, I am proud to say that this little blog has received 1 MILLLION hits!! I am so grateful to all of you who keep coming back to read my food adventures. (And for those of you who I promised a nudey picture at …
The Birthday Blog
No matter how I look at it…today I am 44. When I had my last birthday, I must say I didn’t feel much like celebrating. We had just lost Shadoe and I didn’t know how I was going to recover from that pain. I think of it now like a skinned knee with an old …
