As a fan of all things food, I love to see the development of a meal. I watch television shows on cooking and read an innate amount of cookbooks just so I can study and mimic how exceptional meals develop. One of my preferred shows to watch is Iron Chef because of the great skill …
Complete Naan Sense
That is it!!! I’ve had it!!! This winter is absurd!! Yes, I know I live in the Midwest BUT that doesn’t mean I have to be flogged by snow every 3 days. I was feeling like there was a light at the end of the igloo but this morning we are getting hit again! (And …
Happy Singles Awareness Day
Valentine’s Day. If you have a schmoopie-woopie, cuddle-pie in your life, you probably look forward to a day of love and romance. (Or if you are married it is just another day that ends in ‘y’.) But this year I want to focus on my readers who don’t have that special someone in their life. …
Are You RA’Eady to RA’Umble?
This February has been VERY popular for competitions. There was the Super Bowl. (But I think more people watched the Puppy Bowl.) The Winter Olympics are in full force in Sochi. (Speaking of puppies, wouldn’t Sochi be a good puppy name?) And then there was Foodies Show Heart this past Sunday at RA Sushi in …
Valentine’s Day Places to Eat
I usually save this kind of information for my “news” page but I am getting so many questions about Valentine’s Day suggestions that I thought I’d post on some of the specials that I have heard about this week. But before I do that…if you are in the Western suburbs of Chciago this Sunday. Make …
Ravioli Potsticker
I have a shocking confession to make to you today. I hope you are sitting down. Put down any hot liquids so you don’t burn yourself. Ready? I am not perfect. (Sit for a second and let this shocking news sink in before you read any further.) It is kind of like a supermodel that …
Cabin Fever Kimchi Fried Rice
There are a lot of things I am going to remember about the winter of 2013/2014. I, obviously, will remember the innate amount of snow. (Thank you hubby for using your big, strong muscles to clear the driveway so nicely.) I will remember the crazy cold days like this morning’s temperature of -15. Brrrrr. But …
Olive Juice Sisters
Sisters. They are interesting creatures. For some people, they are their best friends. For other people, they are your worst enemies. You are raised together and share similar experiences and yet your lives can seem like you have been raised on separate planets. Some sisters look alike their entire lives while others have only mere …
Red Gold Lasagna Party
One of the fun things about writing Felt Like a Foodie is that I get offers to try things. I read most offers but honestly don’t feel comfortable promoting products that I don’t already use. (Okay but I will totally cave in if it is something like a vacation to a place with cool food! …
ABC’s of Winter Colds
How many people are tired of me talking about the weather? How many people are tired of EVERYONE talking about the weather? It seems like in the Midwest that we all have tunnel vision during the first couple months of the year. In our defense, we don’t only talk about the snow. We talk about …
