Jake’s Glazed Spare Ribs
Happy Monday everyone! We are kicking off this week with a delicious and savory glazed spare rib recipe with hints of spice and sweet. If you are new to the blog, if I’m not talking about animal health, I’m cooking up something fun for you all to try. I like to incorporate Jake and Maggie in my posts and my recipes and decided to call this recipe “Jake’s Glazed Spare Ribs”. I first saw this dish via the The Rachel Parcel Blog and thought with Easter fast approaching, this would be a great...
Broccoli Pops
Happy Friday everyone! Happy “Friday Treats Friday”! We have an incredibly easy treat for you today called Broccoli Pops :-). Made of beef broth, gelatin, and fresh broccoli. Healthy, fun, cold, and crunch all wrapped into one small treat. And as always, they are lab tested, doggie approved! I have a hard time getting Jake and Maggie to eat broccoli. Actually, they hate it. They play with it leaving little green pieces everywhere and walk away. ha ha. If you have pups like mine, then...
Spaghetti Cups
Happy Wednesday everyone!! Spring has sprung and I’m so excited. It’s got me thinking of new spring and summer recipes and all that thinking made me wonder what to do with the leftover angel hair pasta in my refrigerator when these spaghetti cups popped into my head. I already had large cupcake tins sitting out because I was going to make cupcakes and then it dawned on me…why not use them a different way. I had very rich, garlicky, homemade fettuccine Alfredo sauce and a sweet homemade...
How To Make Silk Flowers Look Real
Happy Monday everyone! We had a gorgeous weekend here in WV full of sunshine and spring temps so I thought this bright flower bouquet of yellow would be appropriate for Monday’s post. This St. Patrick’s Day floral arrangement is a little late but it’s still March so I’m good :-). Plus it's always good to know how to make a silk arrangement look real! I posted a few weeks ago, my easy to do St. Patrick’s Day Tablescape (HERE) and promised this would follow. Floral arrangements are so was...
Irish Soda Bread
Happy Wednesday everyone! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! What better way to celebrate than to make a loaf of Irish Soda Bread! I was excited to find this recipe on the blog Homemade In The Kitchen as I have never made Irish Soda Bread before and had been wanting to try it. But you know me…I made a few tweaks to her recipe and will share both for you to try. This loaf is the perfect size for two people and will go perfectly with a fun Irish lunch I have planned. Serve warm with a pat of butter!...
Supplements For Dogs Fighting Cancer
Happy Monday everyone! The weather was so beautiful this weekend and perfect for playing frisbee with Jake and Maggie. I noticed they are a bit slower this spring than last and I think it’s due to putting on a few pounds so I’ve made the decision to take them off their treats for a while. I’m hoping with more exercise and less sugar and fat, this will help. Having taken care of three older dogs at the same time in the past, I worry about Jake and Maggie’s health and am always doing...
Gelatin And Beef Broth Dog Treat
Happy Friday everyone! Happy “Friday Treats Friday” for you and your fur baby! I found this super simple, two ingredient dog treat of gelatin and beef broth from Puppy Dog Pro! This is the first time Jake and Maggie will experience a giggly treat like this and they absolutely loved these treats. I gave them only one each because I don't want to upset their stomachs with a lot of something new. When I sat down, they were both crawling all over me wanting me to get up and feed them another...
Root Beer Float With Chocolate Syrup
Happy Monday everyone! I made this sweet and delicious Root Beer Float awhile back (HERE) but changed it up a bit this weekend by adding CHOCOLATE syrup!! OMG! This is what it has been missing. Can you taste it now…vanilla ice cream, root beer, whip cream, and chocolate. Soooo yummy! I bought these adorable mugs at TJMaxx and used them on my Clover Tablescape (HERE) and they were the perfect size for this sweet yummy drink! This recipe is super easy. Pop a bowl of popcorn with extra...
Clover Tablescape
Happy Wednesday everyone!!! I told Thomas this morning that March and St. Patrick’s Day means celebrating me! :-). We are going to our favorite place for fish and chips...Margaret’s Cafe in Toronto, OH!! According to my results from 23 and Me, I’m 59% Irish!! This is the first year putting together a Clover Tablescape for St. Patrick's Day and it was so much fun! I’ve had a hard time finding pretty dishes unless I want to spend A LOT of money so I shopped my house and some of my favorite...
Puppy Peanut Butter Meatballs
Happy “Friday Treats Friday” everyone! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a homemade dog treat so I’m hoping your fur baby loves these Puppy Peanut Butter Meatballs. I first found the recipe from Stella and Chewy’s website which I will give to you but I changed it up a bit so I’ll give that to you also! As I type this post, the kitchen is smelling of peanut butter and it smells delicious! I might just have to try one of these treats (wink emoji). I wanted to make a pretzel stick out of...
