I am working on my PupScout Ice Cream Badge and have a recipe to share with everyone. Now this recipe is not for the faint of stomach, there is a waiting period for eating this wonderful PupCream.

1. Pick out some nice ripe B.A.N.A.N.A.S! 3 to be exact.

2. Peel them naked.

(you might need your paw-rents help here)

HERE IS THE HARD PART…PUT THEM ON ICE AND FREEZE OVERNIGHT-NIGHT.

NITE, NITE BANANAS… see you in 24 hours!

3. Blend Bananas in

the food processor

3. Add in 1 Tablespoon of creamy peanut butter

SERVE IMMEDIATELY or place in a container and freeze for a firmer treat. I eat mine rignt away! No time like the present to give yourself a tasty treat. If you like, you can add in strawberries or blueberriess too! I like mine classic.

YUM YUM YUM

now that’s one tasty PUPCREAM

ENJOY!!!
PS
the two-leggers like this mixture too,
so make sure to finish your bowl or they may eat it!
love ya  Miss Sadie

Sadie Miki the wonder dog helping Batman save the city … R is now for Rover 🙂

We four-legged are all superheroes of one sort or another. Just look at the reality of it… we possess extraordinary talents. My supernatural phenomena is being able to eat a treat in one mouthful. Think about the symbolic moral goal of it… I am protecting the public both two-legged and four-legged of forbidden calories.  With one whoosh of my mouth the calories are defeated and can no longer hurt others. And you guessed it my mask is that I am not really a “dog” I am a four-legged wonder called Sadie. Now go forth and save human kind by joining me in gobbling up all the treats you can find!

Until our next adventure! Stay tuned.

sadieLovesCantaloupeOn a campaign for my two legged friends to eat better I have seen some interesting foods come into the house. This morning I discovered a food group that I hope becomes a staple in this house hold.

It is called the Cantaloupe!

Oh the sweetness, oh the texture, oh my goodness.

Did you know that melons make a tasty and nutritious treat for us four-leggers. There is lots of vitamins C and B-6, plus fiber, folate (a water-soluble B vitamin), niacin (vitamin B3) and potassium.

My people looked it up on the internet and the cantaloupe is good for my eyes because it has a lot of beta-carotene. Studies have shown that beta-carotene can help prevent or reduce the growth of cataracts. But all I know it this new yummy food is a vision of dancing pleasure.

Cantaloupe is also good for us four-leggers because it is a non-allergenic, so most dogs can stomach it with no adverse reaction.

Now I love my cantaloupe naked but the two leggers like to beat it up.

If you like soup you might like the recipe they found on the Food Network by Alex Guarnaschelli, Cantaloupe Soup.

or this Cantaloupe-Veggie Smoothie

But take it from me the best cantaloupe is naked!

SADIE_COOKS_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!

california, Dog Friendly, eveleigh, excellent food, great atmosphere, Los Angeles, restaurant, Sadie, the sunset strip

As always I am on a hunt for places that the two leggers can join us four leggers for a fine dining experience. I found another one (you can see my other posts), it is in city of Los Angeles on the well renown Sunset Strip. It is called Eveleigh. You can view their menu on line: http://www.theeveleigh.com

Image

The staff was so friendly and I quite liked kicking back with my people in this rustic hidden corner of the city. Now I brought my own menu with me but the dishes that were served to the two leggers smelled amazing and I heard them licking their lips with every bite. You can see by the images below that everything was prepared wonderfully. When my people are happy I am happy.

Image

TOP: kingsman cheese (raw cow), local almond honey, sprouted almonds, raisins, toasted sourdough
MIDDLE: eveleigh burger – selection of dry aged cuts, fontina, tomato-chorizo relish, pickles, mustard aioli, fries
BOTTOM: granola spiced lemon yoghurt sorbetI am hoping to return to this place very soon because it is a small piece of rustic relaxation right on The Sunset Strip.
FOUR PAWS and a TAIL WAY!

Today I sit here thinking of how wonderful my life is and how important it is that all four-leggers get to experience the love that my home surrounds me with. It is because of this I am going to howl out about a four-legged charity fundraiser event where YOU can get involved to help the less fortunate four-legged.

If you live in the Los Angeles area you can come in-person to the wonderful event, or if you live somewhere else just as beautiful there is an online auction to give back the Karma to the Rescues. Here are the d’Tails:

The group is called: Karma Rescue
10th Annual Fundraiser
When: October 5th 2013, 6:30pm to 10:30pm
Where: Lightspace Studios
 8755 Washington BLVD, Culver City, 90232
Image
There are going to be some tail wagging fun, my favorite is
a Puppy Kissing Booth!Image

Hamburger Mary’s Famous Bingo
Image

There will be treats both Vegetarian and Vegan, an open bar and lots of prizes!
They suggest that two-leggers dress up in cocktail attire. Tickets are available online.

If you can’t attend you can still get involved with the online auction:
Bid on great online auction items such as: a trip to Puerto Vallarta, signed Lakers basketballs, great restaurants, Lucky Strike bowling, yoga, and wine tastings at biddingforgood.com/createkarma. Bidding starts on September 20th.

Thank you for reading about this fun event and remember to hug a four-legger today!

Driving on a Sunday

Driving on a Sunday

I just never tire of going to see the ladies of Maxwell Dog.
I always walkout with a bag of goodies.
This time I got a new baby. A holiday gingerbread baby.

Gingerbread Baby

My new Gingerbread Baby from Maxwell Dog

Holidays are always fun for finding new babies.
This year I chose a Gingerbread Baby. Almost good enough to eat.

We also got to stop by my California favorite fast food joint.
In-n-Out Burger

In-N-Out Drive Thru

In-N-Out Drive Thru

Going to In-N-Out is a treat for me.
They even have a puppy friendly item on the menu.
It is a “patty with no salt” I just love those.

My drive thru Bag

We don’t go too often but when we do…yum yum.
It is the best holiday drive thru in Studio City.

Well it was another beautiful Sunday in California.

Pooped out after a sunday of fun
