Mexican Corn Monday
Tomorrow is Tuesday!!!! Do you observe Taco Tuesday? I write that like it is a religious holiday and to some it is one. Simply, it is the weekly ritual of eating tacos on Tuesday. (It would be cool if there was a little more than that like maybe doing a shred the cheese dance or …
Emoticons and Eggplants
When you are in a conversation and you misunderstand something, what is your reaction? Do you just smile, nod and take a sip of your drink with the hopes that is enough to be considered part of the exchange? Do you furrow your brow, smirk and think about other things? Maybe you just widen your …
Giving a Mushroom a Sponge Bath
*Small edit….spell check had spelled “gochujang” wrong….I think I corrected it. Every time I introduce a “new to me” ingredient” (like the gochujang in my last post) I get feedback.

No News IS Good News
Dim the lights. Get under a blanket. Cue the scary music. Today I am going to share some frightening things with you so I thought I would set the mood first. Are you ready? (Make sure you aren’t drinking any hot beverages as you read this because I don’t want you to jerk suddenly and …
Green Bean Fiends
Fiends. I keep hearing that word in my head every time I watch the news in the last couple of weeks. I usually stay away from current events on Felt Like a Foodie but the monsters that seem to be popping out of the crevices of this Earth seem to be haunting me. I feel …
