Happy New Year. Last year went too quickly and I was so preoccupied with puppy training. I felt like I was reading more about dogs than I was about food and didn’t feel motivated to cook let alone eat. I won’t go into the nitty gritty details because I feel so happy now with Scout …

Frico-ing Out Over My Great Ham & Cheese
Do you ever eat something and then become obsessed? Maybe you go eat it multiple times. Maybe you use the google to find out recipes or restaurants that you can find it at. Maybe you dream about it and wake up with your pillow in your mouth. (My husband wakes up that way sometimes…..but it …
How to Make A Gouda Cheese Platter
It is always funny to me the things people email me about after reading Felt Like a Foodie. I am reminded of grammar mistakes, spelling errors and incomplete sentences. I will be told about hanging participles (do you see a dermatologist for those?), improper apostrophe use and metaphor maladies. I appreciate the editing help and …
A Wafer of Gold-Wausome Wafers Cheese Crisps
Do you ever get too old to look for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? The arch of the colors make you smile and almost hypnotically start to daydream. I think that is the feeling I now get when I see anything to do with cheese from Wisconsin. My cheese-cation last …
What a Friend We Have in Cheeses: “Cheese”cation Part 2
One of the best parts of my “cheese”cation was the obvious…. tasting the cheese. Each time we stopped at a creamery, there would be something to try. What made it even better (if 3 days of eating cheese wasn’t good enough) was the fact that I was surrounded by sooooo many experts. As mentioned in …

I was reminded about the nursery rhyme about Little Miss Muffet. She was the gal who sat on her tuffet eating her curds and whey. My version of that nursery rhyme would have gone something like this: Little Miss Foodie sat on her booty Learning about curds and whey. Rode on bus without a lot …
Beauty and the Yeast
My earliest memory of making homemade bread can go back to my teen years. (Technically, when Beauty and the Beast was released I was no longer a teen. I was a late bloomer so my creative license is allowed.) We (my mom and sisters.) went to Disney World and ate at a restaurant called …
Dropping the Ball on New Year’s Eve
One of my biggest challenges as a foodie is knowing my audience. I’m not talking about an audience like when I used to line up my stuffed animals and do stand up in front of them. (Betty Teddy never got my jokes.) I’m talking about making the right food for the people who will be …
Tomato Sauce: Mother Sauces Part 4 of 6
Of all the Mother Sauces, Tomato sauce is the one people are most familiar with eating or cooking. I could even dare to say it is the mother of all Mother Sauces. I have never met a person who doesn’t like tomato sauce. The tomato sauce is probably the only mother sauce that can be …
