So we have a new dog in our lives and I'm doing my damnedest to make sure he's as healthy as can be which means making my own dog cookies. I do this because frankly I'm sick of the dog good recalls and all the dogs getting sick from these ingredients and cookies from China. The ONLY way to ensure your dog isn't a victim of this is to make your own!!! So I do :) I don't have time either, I make time! Really it only takes 20 mins prep (less if you're not using a bone cutter and don't care about …

Spoturday – Dalmatian Kong Filler
It's all photo's today :) So I mentioned we have Kongs and how they are AWESOME if you want to keep your dogs quiet for a little while, well lately I've been doing a lot of research in how to help Sky use her brain more, train her more and basically try to wear her out now that she's an only dog. So enter the buster cube for her kibble and Kong for her treats. However I have been looking at different ways to use her Kong. Previously I'd just smeared peanut butter on the inside, or filled the …
Recipe: Granola
One of the things that I'm constantly amazed at is the price of granola. Basically it's just oats, nuts and seeds right? Why so pricey? I recently found a recipe online at 100 days of real food and adapted it to my tastes. The difference? I don't like it overly cinnamony, and I switch up the nuts/seeds depending on what's on sale ;) Ingredients: 3 cups Rolled Oats - these are the old fashioned oats, not the quick cook crappy oats! 1 cup raw sliced almonds 1 cup raw …
Recipe: Matar Paneer
Those that know us personally, and regular blog readers will know WE LOVE INDIAN FOOD! Seriously! It's a love affair with food that will NEVER die. What we love about Indian food is the vegetarian options, the rich flavors, the beautiful colors, veggies and of course MINT CHUTNEY! Already we've pegged out days during our England trip when we are going to dine at Slice of India. A few years ago though we took some cooking lessons off our Indian friends that lived nearby (till they moved away, …
Recipe – Dog Biscuits
My dogs LOVE treats, especially this spotty monster above! River loves food and walks, not necessarily in that order. If you've had the pleasure of meeting this furball anytime food is present you'll know she drools like a St Bernard for food. Her favorite pastime in the house is doing sweeps of the kitchen to check that nothing has dropped on the floor since her last visit to the kitchen. I swear I feed her, but she claims she's starving. As I'm trying to eat a cleaner diet I figured …
Recipe: Waffle day – oat flour protein waffles
Today is National waffle day and to celebrate I thought I'd share a waffle recipe I made recently. As always I take a recipe, and then switch out ingredients to make it healthier, cleaner, and wheat free. You could substitute whole wheat flour (no white flour!) instead of the oat flour, or try some other flour for shits and giggles! Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups of Oat Flour (I used Trader Joes) 1/4 cup of protein powder (I used Trader Joes Soy Protein Powder) 2 Tablespoons ground …
Recipe: Strawberry & Tofurky sausage Salad With Potatoes
Earlier this week I made a delicious tasty salad using leftover food in the refrigerator. It was a quick and easy meal, prepared and eaten with 20 minutes! Everything except the sausage was precooked and sitting in the fridge waiting to be tossed together :) Quick grill of the sausage was the ONLY cooking involved in this lunch :) What follows isn't really a recipe but a "how I threw together a quick, easy and delicious lunch" guide. Salad Ingredients: Lettuce - I used Romaine Cherry …
