How To Bathe A Cat
Happy Friday everyone! Did you know September is National Happy, Healthy Cat Month!???? It was Wednesday, September 1st and I totally missed it but better late than never I always say. I had my notes ready and was planning on doing a cat post anyway on How To Bathe A Cat. I’ve done many cats and dogs post together but few cats only posts and was excited to research how to give a cat a bath. I’ve rescued kittens, taken care of cats, given diabetic cats their insulin shots but NEVER have I...
Helping Afghanistan
Happy Thursday everyone. This is another surprise post but one that I feel is extremely important. I had a totally different post designated for today but decided I would answer some very important questions sent my way this week. How do we help Afghanistan, the Afghans, and the many shelter animals and service dogs left behind? Thomas and I are sending prayers and love to those family members who lost their loved ones in the Afghanistan attack. I want to take this time to remember each...
Morning Glory Breakfast Muffins
Happy Wednesday everyone!! Have you ever heard of Morning Glory Muffins? I never did until I saw a recipe from A Family Feast and I knew I had to take a stab at making these muffins. I’m so glad I did because they were amazing! I ended up tweaking the recipe a bit and changed the name ever so slightly to Morning Glory Breakfast Muffins. These were not Mr. TAL’s favorite but my sister and I loved them! They are sister approved for sure! I changed out the raisins for craisins and added...
Super Easy Apple Dumplings
Happy Tuesday everyone! Just a little surprise post on a Tuesday for you with my Super Easy Apple Dumpling recipe. Let’s kick off fall with these cinnamony, tart, brown sugared apples wrapped in a homemade flakey pie crust, baked to perfection and covered in ooey gooey caramelized icing or just syrup if you want to call it that instead! I made this recipe for my dad who just celebrated his 79th birthday and he loved them. Not only are they Mr. TAL approved, they are dad approved too! You...
Super Easy French Toast
Happy Monday everyone! We are in the last week of our August recipes and this Super Easy French Toast recipe was the kickoff to all the sweet recipes I made over the weekend including a Super Easy Apple Dumpling recipe (that I just have to post tomorrow). I promised a food post for the entire month of August but I’m going to end on Wednesday (September 1st) with a Morning Glory Muffin that is to die for! I haven’t made French toast in forever so Saturday morning I surprised Mr. TAL with this...
Spicy Meatballs
Happy Friday everyone! We are almost finished with my August recipes and I thought I’d give you my Spicy Meatballs dish to try over the weekend! These meatballs are oh so spicy, with hints of fresh oregano and parsley, smokey sun-dried tomatoes, hot pepper flakes, and hot buffalo wing cheese from Bunker Hill for an extra kick! After all this spice, you will need something sweet so check out my posts next week for a cinnamon baked apple and morning breakfast muffins! I started with browning...
Brown Sugared Caramelized Onions
Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m giving you this super easy, very versatile Brown Sugar Caramelized Onion recipe that you can use in so many dishes. This blog post from Ambitious Kitchen on How To Cut, Slice, and Dice An Onion was delivered to my email box almost immediately after I finished making my onion recipe and taking my photos to share with you. https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/how-to-dice-cut-onion-video/ . The timing of this post was perfect because I had planned to talk about how...
Smashed Fingerling Potatoes
Happy Monday everyone! August has been a great month for Two Adorable Labs. Our candles were highlighted on Instagram several times, we gained several new followers, we’ve been having fun making new recipes to share with you, we are working on a new design project to be launched by end of year, and I turned 50 on August 18th. This Smashed Fingerling Potatoes recipe turned out better than what I expected and was definitely Mr. TAL/husband approved! This is a great recipe for any day of the...
Mexican Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers
Happy Friday everyone!! We are ending week 3 of my August recipes with these Mexican Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers and I know I say this all the time but they are husband approved!!! I on the other hand would have liked them filled up more with my chicken mixture and loaded up with cheese and sour cream but they were still good. I wanted something good and healthy and that is what they are. They are good and they are healthy and I made enough for lunch, dinner, and lunch the next day. This...
Fried Herbs
Happy Wednesday everyone! Ever heard of Fried Herbs? I literally had no idea what I was going to make for dinner last night. It was a toss up between chicken or pasta and then an idea struck me…how about making pasta sauce and throwing in my fresh oregano, rosemary, and parsley I have growing in my herb garden! I’ve done this before by just chopping everything up and throwing them directly in but wanted to put a spin on my recipe. I could either fry up some herbs and throw them in the...
