Imagine, if you will, a place. Not just any place, but a place that is inside another place. Some call it…a room. A room where a group of people engage in learnings. A class room. Enough of that? Ok, well mi madre and I took a class at Eataly Chicago on Thursday and it was…
In an effort to healthy-up our lives Stax and I decided to buy some salmon. In fact, we didn’t just decide to buy the salmon…we also decided to eat the salmon. I enjoy writing the word salmon almost as much as I enjoy eating it. Salmon. This was an easy fast dish to make after…
Well, here we are again. Just you and me. No one else is reading this but you. So consider yourself incredibly special, not only to me…but also to Earth Mother Gaia. Which, you know…is pretty neat. I was traveling this week so I had to do some meal prep for the wife, in order to…

Well, it’s here. It’s finally here. The first cooking food blog post of #CampGarcia. I suppose it was an inevitability. That I’d end up blogging about food. I mean, I love it.
