The anger. The resentment. The name-calling. The accusations. The foulness. The glares. The ignorance. The bitterness. The pettiness. The disillusion. These are the words that keep streaming past my eyes when I think of one thing….being apathetic to pasta noodle options. It is such a personal decision and people take great pride in their choice. …

Beg, Borrow or Steal
I’m a thief…a no good rotten thief!!! Now before you start looking at FBI posters for my picture, let me say what I’m guilty of. I steal from restaurants….kind of. You are probably saying “Barb, you can’t “kind of” steal. You either do it or you don’t!” Let me tell you what I steal before …
Saturday Night Special
The other day on Felt Like a Foodie I kind of joked around about strippers. I meant no offense. We all know that it isn’t a job for everyone and I shouldn’t judge anyone. (Unless your parents gave you a name like Candy Cane, Cinnamon or Sunshine, you really didn’t have a choice.) I do …
Cibo Racconto: A Foodie Fun Day
The day after Thanksgiving is one of the hardest days of the year if you ask me. Your belly is all stretched out from the day before but you are running around so much on Friday, you don’t exactly make the best food choices. (And for some reason the leftovers you were counting on for …
Lasagna as I know It
*I have deleted my original post and hope you will like my substitution. Who doesn’t like lasagna? When you mention the dish; a person is likely to tell you about how their family made it. Everyone’s family recipe is “the best” and people tend to lean toward the flavors they grew up eating. After I …
Pizza Rigatoni
I think you may need to sit down before you read the next sentence. I’m not sure if I have admitted this before but there are nights that I don’t feel like cooking. (GASP!) It may happen because I am overtired or under inspired. Either way, I still have to figure out how to put …
Rollin’ Rollin’ Rollin’ Ravioli
For the most part, I use dried pasta in my dishes. It tastes great, easy to make and inexpensive. I don’t think it is for every recipe especially ravioli. Something gets lost in the processing of store bought ravioli. You lose some of the flavor, the freshness and the love. That it is why Ravioli …
Grandma’s Manicotti-Part 2: The Recipe
I have received a bunch of requests for the recipe for the shells that I made in one of my earlier posts. I guess this was a bit of a blog cliffhanger but it I guarantee that it will have been worth the wait. Manicotti Shells Ingredients 6 eggs 1 cup milk 1 1/2 cups …
Stuffed Chicken Breast-It is what it is
In honor of my last blog, I thought I should share a really good chicken breast recipe. I love stuffed chicken breasts because they really are simple to make but still have a rich taste. The other thing I like about a stuffed chicken breast is it is exactly what the name implies, a stuffed …
Grandma’s Manicotti
Even though I was a picky eater as a child, there was one meal that always got me to clean my plate….Grandma’s Manicotti. It usually graced the table during the holidays or special birthdays. I didn’t appreciate back then that everything from the sauce to the shells was made from scratch. I did know it …
