With all the running around our doggies do.......well Bandit does, Moose, not so much:-0 they need a treat now and then. I like to find healthier options for our pups, and they are easy to make at home. I choose ingredients that "I" want my pups to snack on, and ensure that they get all the right nutrients. I want to have total say over the recipe! There are some basics to follow when playing "Doggie Chef"! Avoid- Cheese, milk, dairy products, chocolate, macadamia nuts, walnuts, onions, liver (in large quantities), raisins, grapes, salt and sugar.
I just realized how good Oreo cookies are! I haven't had them for many years until just recently when I made those Oreo truffle cake balls and now these heavenly brownies. My pregnant sister-in-law has been requesting desserts to satisfy her sweet tooth cravings during pregnancy so I helped her out by making these the other day especially for her!
Of course, we couldn't let her get away without leaving a few behind for us to enjoy! These were seriously good. Moist brownie layer with finely crumbled Oreo cookies mixed with cream cheese and then finished off with a layer of melted chocolate. The only part you need to bake is the brownie layer, so these are pretty quick to put together.

I am super extra excited today. I just love the Surprise Recipe Swap because I like finding new recipes and trying them out, for not only Wee Bear and I, but YOU! This is our third month and third swap! If you want in, the details are at the end of the post, just click the SRS button! We always post on the 20th of the month, hence, why I didn't post yesterday. In
the meantime, let’s talk about who I am blogging about this month! Her name is Michelle and she has this sweet blog called Michelle's Tasty Creations!
This recipe isn't as much trouble as it looks and most of it can be
made the day before. It is a wonderful main course for a dinner party,
one in which you will surely impress your dinner guests. I would
suggest though that you make it for a group of close friends. This is
definitely not for elegant entertaining...you want to be able to get at
those little morsels next to the bone and the picture won't be dainty,
but definitely worth the effort. Wee Bear does not like to deal with bones, so, this time I de-boned for him. I did not ballantine/gallantine this time, which would be tedious with a cornish game hen, but, do-able. I cut the meat off the bones after roasting and this time, he made sure he got every bite and then some! The
stuffing is to die for and can definitely be served with something else
such as turkey, quail or duck.
How would you like to make something that your kids/grand kids will love? Better yet, how would you like to get the kids into the kitchen to make their own lunch/dinner and have fun doing it? My long time friend Jane, did just that with her grand children. They had a great time!
Hearty, robust and delicious! This salad has everything you have dreamed about in a Greek salad, tomatoes, cucumber, mushrooms, bacon, hearts of palm and Calamata olives. It is one of my go to lunches....minus the onion strings! I did those for a twist. Not an original idea, they actually serve a chopped salad at our club with the onion strings on top. I admit, I give mine to Wee Bear.....I think he loves that I do that.
Wee Bear loves my Chicken Marsala. Marsala is Italy's most famous version of fortified wine and it makes an outstanding sweet sauce! Chicken Marsala (at least this recipe, which I have whittled down into a very simple process) is hard to screw up. Chicken breasts can easily be pounded thin with a kitchen mallet and are a snap to saute in the pan. Cooking this dish comes down to basically making the sauce - a pan sauce made with sweet imported Marsala wine and butter. Don't over think it!!
