Part 2: Mindset. A gigantic proportion of my blogging mindset was wrapped up with “authenticity” of recipes. I haven’t done a genetic test but I come from a vast group of different nationalities. I can’t claim anything I like to cook is one hundred percent derived from any one country. I spend a considerable amount of time …

BEAN There, Done That
Bean there, done with that. Hello. It’s me. Barb…aka Felt Like a Foodie. I’m back. I think. Sometimes you need a break. You would think the pandemic would have lit a fire under me to want to write instead I had feelings of jealousy watching every other person making cooking videos and doing it so much better than I …
Muffuletta Deviled Eggs
With everything going on in the world today, it is kind of nice to have things that are part of your “old” normal routine. Whether you have a certain day you wash the sheets or a soup you eat every Monday, it gives you a sense of control over a life that is currently uncontrollable. I’ve …
If Loving Carbonara is Wrong…I Don’t Wanna Be Right
There is one thing that writing Felt Like a Foodie has taught me over the years….no…it has nothing to do with food…..it has to do with the fact that I am wrong….a lot. Every time I start to think about a particular blog, I look up words for inspiration and to make sure I am …
Compound Words and Compound Butter
How often do you think of grammar, parts of speech or word origins? (If you are a regular reader of Felt Like a Foodie you are saying that I don’t think about it enough!) Do you get excited when you see your favorite noun in a sentence? Does it make your skin crawl if you …
You Can’t Curry Love
Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it. All good things come to those who wait? Is that true? Do you mind when you have to wait for something? Or do you do whatever is in your power to make things happen NOW? I’m a pretty patient person when it comes to waiting. I …
Keeping It Real
I love to make recipes from different areas of the world. I feel even though I may have never been to very many places, I can get a taste of what the natives are eating. (Unless there are areas where natives are eating natives, I won’t do that.) I sometimes am hesitant to write about …
Coming Out of My Shell in 2017
First, let me apologize for not posting for the last week or so. With the holiday bustle (and a husband who was home from work….A LOT), my quiet time alone with my computer pretty much disappeared. (Hubby is home now too…but I’m ignoring him.) I had a good holiday but honestly I am just ready …
Preserving Memories
“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” I have always loved that saying. Every now and then, you get handed things that may not be what you currently desire but you just have to make the most of it. Lately, my plate has been full (and not in the fun fill my tummy kind of …
Tzatziki Sauce: A Consonant Friend
One of my favorite things to do with friends is catch up over lunch or coffee. Our conversations usually cover the usually topics of hubbys, kids (theirs) and food (mine). The other day during one of these wonderful catch up sessions, we started talking about things to put on a burger. (Yep, we are that …
