I’ve been growing a vegetable garden for the last few years. It has been fun walking around the house to grab a tomato or a zucchini. (I didn’t venture much further than those items.) This year I wanted to expand the garden and grow everything from seed. (Previous years, I bought little plants.) It was …

Ramping Up My Spring Dinners
This last week has definitely felt like spring to me. I wake up to the birds chirping happy melodies, the trees are displaying every shade of green and the sun just seems to be brighter. I can open a window and smell the freshness only a spring breeze can provide and the temperature is neither …
All I am I am Saying is Give Snow Peas a Chance
I love epiphanies or what some call light bulb moments. You know what I’m talking about…those instances when you brain wakes and tells you the reasoning about feelings you have about something. It is like all of a sudden “POW” and a topic you’ve never understood finally makes sense. (When I have an epiphany, I …
Bean Thinking About Thanksgiving
Writing a food blog around Thanksgiving is really a funny thing. It is one of those holidays you just don’t mess around with because people are really set in their ways of what needs to be on the table. Do you only have mashed potatoes or is it okay to add some scalloped? Maybe you …
Massaging the Kale Ego
One of the best things about being a blogger is that I can find out fun facts about food and then relay that information to my readers. (And everything I say must be true because it is on the Internet.) So today I thought I’d share some thoughts on egos…kale egos. I don’t think most …
Change is Good: Red Lentil Soup
I don’t like change. I’m not talking about coin change; I’m talking about adapting to something new. We experience change every day in the weather or what we eat or which undies we are wearing. (I like changing underwear; it is so refreshing. Don’t you think?) I do okay with daily changes but unexpected changes …
(Almost) Labor Free Grilled Vegetable Soup
Can you believe that it is September already??? Did everyone have a great Labor Day weekend? Did you have your grills going? I didn’t barbeque this weekend because I did a family BBQ last weekend for my husband’s birthday, which his mom coincidently calls Labor Day too. (Actually there should be a National Holiday for …
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 …
The Route to Brussels Sprouts
Have you ever met someone who is map impaired? If not, pleased to meet you. I can’t find a route on a map no matter how hard I try. I was thrilled when I got the PMS (Point Me System) in my car. It helped me get from here to there with little thought or …
Nothing is Scarier Than Cauliflower
Halloween freaks me out. I am a huge scaredy cat and everywhere I look I am terrified. I can’t drive down my street without seeing my neighbor’s decorations of skull heads and monsters. I turn on the TV and there are hair-raising marathons of Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street. It will only …
