Single Serving Additions

You asked and we’ve listened!

We sent out a single serving meal-call this month and we’ve gotten a great response. The single serving requests have included almost every meal that we carry but there are a few that stand out.


Dottie’s Chicken & Dumplings


This meal was just added to our lineup last month but it’s quickly become one of our most popular.

Maybe it’s because it’s a cook-in-bag meal; making it extremely easy to prepare.
Maybe it’s because it’s packed with a ton of veggies and a generous serving of chicken.

Maybe it’s because it comes with our addictive cornbread toastees.
Maybe it’s because it’s just so GOOD!

Whatever the reason, it’s gotten enough votes to become the latest meal added to our single serving lineup!



Banana Puddin'


Desserts have been a popular single serving request with Banana Puddin' taking the number one spot! This is our first single serving dessert offering but there will definitely be more to follow.

Plenty of bananas are folded into a creamy custard pudding; then paired with our yummy vanilla cake toastees. We top it off with a little toasted coconut making it deliciously satisfying in the backcountry.
