Be the Hero of your own story

Today I had to be the hero of not just my own story but my two-legged mommy. We were cooking one of my favorite dishes and had a nasty accident. My mom was using a strange contraption called a mandolin which I thought was for playing music but found out it is for cutting potatoes.

We were having fun then IT happened! Mommy let out a yelp like I have never heard. There was lots of other words being yelled too but I am not allowed to use words like that. There was blood everywhere, I know I had to be the hero… I helped by telling the entire house there was need for a MEDIC!!!! Thanks to my alert we were able to ally pressure and slow the bleeding. Mommy threw that nasty mandolin in the trash and we made my dinner minus a piece of mommies little finger.

THE RECIPE

• 2 thin sliced potatoes (mom says do not use a Mandolin)
• 1 pound ground beef or turkey
• 1/2 cup carrots
• 1/2 cup broccoli
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 sweet potato
• 4 cups water or (beef/chicken broth)
• cheese (I like gouda but you can use any melty cheese)

  DIRECTIONS
  layer all your ingredients in a baking dish
  cook 350 degrees for 45 minutes

Now I am off to be a hero again and sit with mommy as she ices her boo boo finger. I am a good nurse who gives lots of kisses.

Happy Halloween!@sadiemiki the little Miki with a big heart!

It’s time to look for the Great Pumpkin again!

Mom is heating up our kitchen with some yummy treats. Pumpkin is an extremely friendly dog food that is yummy as well as beneficial for fiber and beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. I am licking my lips just thinking about all the great recipes we can make:

Pumpkin Party Balls
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:
2 cups oat flour
1 egg
1 cup pure pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons ground flaxseed
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Grab a medium sized mixing bowl and mix all the ingredients up good.

Place the mixture in the fridge for 12-24 hrs for easier handling (it is kinda gooey)

Shape into little balls (I like mine tiny as my mouth is petite, even if the mailman thinks it is big)

Place the bite sized balls on a lined cookie sheet.

Bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Let cool and enjoy!

Pumpkin Ice Ice Baby
Use 100% pumpkin puree or puree your own boiled pumpkin.

Pour the mixture into ice cube trays.

Freeze.

These are just like little popsicle treats.

Pumpkin cubes are a healthy snack that is great for healthy skin and coats.

Pumpkin helps with upset tummies too!!! Bonus.

Easy Bone Recipe: tale wagging fun

a dog's life, a dogs tales, dog, dog blog, Dog choice, dog day, Dog POV, Dog Recipe, Dog treats, dogisms, mi-ki, Sadie, woof

What a treat, today my two legged went into the kitchen and started to bake just for me!

I was the sous chef and made sure that my line cook (two-legged) was doing everything to my liking.

FIRST we started with the ingredients:
2 – eggs
2 baby jars of BeechNut Apple & Pumpkin or you can use 1/2 cup of Nummy Tum-Tum Organic Pumpkin Puree
2 Tablespoons of milk
2 1/2 cups of wheat flour
(now you can substitute this if you have gluten issues with cocunut flour or almond meal or buckwheat or corn flour or meal)

Water on hand if you need to make your mixture playable yet stiff.

Then we need to MIX IT up a bit

We started with a spoon but then my two-legger resorted to hand mixing. I offered my paws but mom said no because I just got groomed. Darn that groomer for making me too beautiful for my own good.

ROLL IT OUT and cut it up
We just bought this really cute cookie cutter with my name on it from a shop on Etsy called Name That Cookie

My two-legged was so excited to try it out. I just love it when my two-legged gets excited, it makes me wag my tail (especially when it means making me cookies!)

If you don’t have a cookie cutter with your name on it you can make other shapes or smaller plain bones too.

Oh the wait is exhausting. BAKE in a pre-heated oven
at  350°F Fahrenheit (or 177°C Celsius) 20 minutes, then flip for another 20 minutes. Not all ovens are calibrated to the same so look in on your bones to make sure they do not burn.

Then let them cool.

And my favorite part… TEST them!

PUMPKIN BONE : a recipe worthy of dropping a ball for

Tags

bone, dog blog, Dog Recipe, mi-ki dog, Sadie, woof

WOOF, there are not many things that will make me drop the ball…
but this recipe is an exception.

INGREDIENTS

2 eggs (we use the brown shelled ones but don’t use the shells!)

1/2 cup canned organic pumpkin 

2 tablespoons dry milk (great for putting protein into your dog’s diet)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (sea salt is good for pets with pet arthritis)

2 1/2 cups brown rice flour (traditional flours don’t provide good nutrition for dogs)

1/2 teaspoon honey (optional, it is just a taste that Sadie likes and your pup might like too)

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Blend together; eggs with pumpkin and honey together
• Add in sea salt, dry milk, and flour.
• Add water as needed to make the dough workable be careful not to make soggy.
• The dough should be dry and stiff. (crunchy and good for teeth brushing)
• Mix this with your hands because it  might burn out your electric mixer’s motor.
• Roll to 1/2-inch thick.
• Cut into shapes, most people shape like dog bones but you can add some fun to your pup’s life by making fun shapes like hearts for valentine’s day or bat for howl-O-ween. We like this website for buying cookie cutters: TheCoookieCutterShop
• Place 1″ to 1”1/2  apart on an un-greased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes on one side, then flip and bake another 20 minutes.
  

HAPPY CRUNCHING!

Pupcakes… we all want Pupcakes!!!!

The kitchen has always fascinated me, it is a magical area in the house. There are large shiny objects in that room that open and often dispense yummy items. Some of them are tall and cool air flows out and others are short and I am told to sit and stay far away from them as they have hot breath when they open up. I think it must be a grumpy monster or something.

We are using both of these magical kitchen instruments today and I must say I am having a hard time waiting.

INGREDIENTS

Pupcakes
½ cup whole wheat flour (substitute if your pup is wheat sensitive)
1 teaspoon baking powder
⅓ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
2 tablespoons honey

Frosting
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1½ tablespoons creamy peanut butter (this is my favorite and I get to like the spoon!)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat (the grumpy monster) oven to 350 F.
2. Line 6 standard muffin tins or 12 mini muffin tins if you are a petite pup like me with paper liners, or spray with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
3. Whisk together, in a medium bowl, the flour and baking powder. Add the vegetable oil, applesauce, egg and honey, and whisk gently to combine. Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Allow your pupcakes to cool completely before frosting / serving.
4. To make the frosting, stir together the yogurt and peanut butter, then spread on top of each pupcake just before serving. The pupcakes can be kept for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, that is if you don’t eat them all first!

   Enjoy and keep your tail wagging, it makes for a lovely breeze during the summer!
