Snacks from the Wild West

Caviar is an expensive snack that some people like to serve on little squares of toast. Real caviar is made from salt-cured fish eggs.

Sometimes people make a dip called Cowboy Caviar that is made with corn and beans instead of fish eggs. They might use the name Cowboy Caviar because cowboys on cattle drives were known to eat both canned and dried beans.

I like to call my recipe Cowboy Chips and Dip. This recipe is also good on a tortilla or mixed with lettuce as a salad.

So come on, Pardner, let’s make some Cowboy Chips and Dip!

Let’s Make Salsa!

SUMMER SALSA!

I like to grow vegetables in my garden, and I really like to dig them up! Do you grow vegetables in your garden? If not you can visit a local farmer’s market or find vegetables like these in your local grocery store. Let’s make Summer Salsa!

And the winning chef is…Me!

I won!

I entered my recipe for Orange You Glad I Made This Salad? into The Pure Bread Baking and Cooking Contest. Most of the other recipes tasted like kibble and were paws-itivley awful. I don’t make dog food. I cook food for humans. And you know what? I won the contest! Now let me share some of my recipes with you! But first, I like to sing a little song before I cook. And it goes something like this:

I am Carl and I like to cook, just give me some tools and a recipe book!

Home-cooked meals are such a treat, easy to make and fun to eat!
