Halo and Buster celebrated another birthday this week. My kids are growing up so fast. As in years past, I prepared a homemade treat for them to enjoy. In 2017, it was dog-friendly cookie dough inspired by DO in New York. I heat-treated whole wheat flour to a safe 170 degrees F and mixed in other dog-safe ingredients, including peanut butter and honey, to create what I like to call puppy dough. Served plain, Halo and Buster enjoyed every bite. However, it's a celebration, so mix-ins were ... continue reading...
PB+J Oatmeal Smoothie
Oh, hello vegan Friday. The weeks sure do fly by and with that brings us to another recipe inspired by hot for food. This week I chose to conquer a quick breakfast inspired by smoothies Lauren has shared over the years. For me, photoshoot days create morning time restrictions I'm not used to on a daily basis. I'm definitely a person, who wakes up hungry. Whether I'm off to work or train, I know having something that keeps me satiated for a long period of time is ideal. There's not always an ... continue reading...
Vegan Barbecue Beans
It's another vegan Friday. This time I'm channeling my love for barbecue by trying out the sauce used in hot for food's pulled no-pork sandwiches. Because I had it on hand, ground cumin and cayenne went into the pot along with the other barbecue sauce ingredients and a couple cans of rinsed cannellini beans. I particularly like this bean because it is a bit creamy and nutty. It's also earthy, which means if you enjoy mushrooms, you'll likely love these. Inspired by a recent shoot I did ... continue reading...
What to Consider When Making Homemade Dog Treats
It's not uncommon for us to make Halo and Buster homemade treats, especially when their birthdays come around on August 1st. Yes, we gave them the same birthday; I don't think there's anything wrong with that. In case you're curious, we adopted Halo from the Humane Society. She lived there temporarily for a couple of weeks. Buster was found at a dog park we frequented. The poor little guy was abandoned, but got along so well with Halo that when no one claimed him, we decided he could stay ... continue reading...
Pineapple Salsa
I constantly say there is nothing to eat in the house. I'm a liar. There's always something to eat; I'm simply being lazy about preparing anything. These are the times I turn dips because we constantly have crudite-type things as well as snacks, like pretzels and chips that are just waiting to be dunked or used for scooping. Today, we are scooping. This pineapple salsa is amazing, and I'm quite convinced it's the mint. I followed this recipe on hot for food blog. My only changes were using ... continue reading...
Why I Love Refrigerated Pie Crust
Yes, I use refrigerated pie crust. I admit that with no shame. Sometimes referred to as pre-made or -rolled, this product saves my life when last minute parties come up or let's be honest, I failed to properly plan a dish to bring to a dinner I knew about a month ago. Refrigerated pie crust is also handy when I think there's nothing to eat. Contrary to that belief, I always have veggies to roast. Combine it with crumbles of cheese and a sprinkling of herbs. Then, tumble it into ... continue reading...
