Stax and I are doing this thing. It’s kinda new and hip so I wouldn’t blame you if you hadn’t heard of it. It’s called “eating healthy”. What you do, is eat foods that are generally less likely to kill you than other foods. So instead of things like hamburgers or three Chipotle Burritos in…
I really wanted to call this post Cooking to Forget but I could hear Stacey’s voice in the back of my head as I wrote it. “Soooooo dramatic, Todd” So, I decided to go with the (slightly) less dramatic title, even though it is still every bit as much of a “VagueBook” post as the initial…
If you hadn’t guessed, food blogging is not my main source of income…or any income to be honest. Waiting on you Foodnetwork and/or Travel Channel! In my spare time when I’m not cooking and writing about cooking, I work at an eCommerce firm…digital commerce firm as a Senior Account Executive. High-level (business type phrase) I work…

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…
Oh boy oh boy. What a crazy couple of weeks huh? All culminating in one of the greatest food holidays of all time. Thanksgiving. If you’re like me, you decided to avoid all conversation about the recent election through food and drink. I found that the rhythmic movement of my jaw eating turkey, stuffing, veggies,…
This week is all about comfort. Two things I promise I won’t do in this post: Hide my fear and anger over the recent election results Write directly about the election…after this list. Here’s what I will do: Talk about food When I was young, watching my mom cook, I learned something very important. Food…

I wanna write about food. I wanna write about food I cook, I wanna write about food other people cook, I wanna write about food that your mom and your mom’s mom and your mom’s mom’s mom cooks. What I mean is…I wanna write about food. As long as I can remember, food; the history…
