Since I moved into a high-rise apartment and sold my car, I’ve been buying groceries online. I’ve developed a list we can all use. This edition, focused on dry goods, helps me keep things stocked for many of my go-to meals. A fresh/frozen edition of this list is coming soon. Get cooking!
I am mildly obsessed with lentils. Low in calories, high in fiber and protein, they are a go-to of mine for soup, salads, and sides. This Lentil Salad requires no recipe.

Being featured on Cooking Channel’s Cheap Eats: Santa Barbara for my Cowboy Cooking was simply the […]
In January 2018, the crew from Cooking Channel joined us for 2 days of filming and fun featuring our Cowboy Cookie. A hearty snack containing peanut butter, coconut, chocolate chips and oats – it’s about time the Cowboy Cookie got some prime time love (if we may say so ourselves)! They took over our kitchen […]
