Squirrel Casserole

Today, as I was helping my mom in the garden...

I had an idea!

Mom is trying to come up with some recipes, for Oskar's Cookbook over at Pet Blogs United.

I've been wanting to do away with that pesky squirrel....

"MOM, how do you think squirrel would go with shredded carrot and cheese?"

 

She did try out a new casserole for me....but with sliced potato and minus the squirrel.

Smells okay, but I liked my idea better.

 

Not a complete hit...

Stanzie and I, ate off the cottage cheese, corn and carrots, but were not crazy about the sliced potatoes. I think we would have preferred them mashed or better yet, with squirrel!!

 

Don't forget to send your recipes to Pam and Oskar over at PBU!!

Bone Appetit!

European Spring Break with Wyatt and Stanzie!!

It's Spring Break, Stanzie!

Let's borrow grandma's Javelin and go to Europe!!

What? You can't drive to Europe?

Plan 'B'

Stanzie, what are you doing up there in first class?

What a fabulous rental car!!

Wyatt, did you bring the map?

First stop, Austria.

I heard they have sausage and beer here!!

Mom would really like these flowers.

Next stop, France!!

We should pick up a bottle for Mom and Dad, they like this stuff.

Final stop, Shropshire England!

You know who, lives here....

Stanzie told me to get lost, so she can have some alone time with George.

She looks pretty happy.

Best spring break ever!

Wyatt, Stanzie and George too :)

Get Up and Get Going!!

Most mornings, this is how I find my sister, Stanzie.

Under the down comforter and snoring like a chain saw...

real lady like..hee hee

C'mon get up.

We have places to go and things to see, Stanzie!!

Walkies to be had

Frogs to stand on.

Shopping at the Red Mill.

Perhaps you have seen some of these products in your grocery.

Bob's Red Mill, makes every kind of flour and grain product you could ever want.

I'm thinking we need to make dog treats......

See Stanzie, I told you it was worth getting out of bed for!

Great start to a great weekend!!

Wyatt and Stanzie

Why does Wyatt like to buy toliet paper by the case?

RAINY DAY AGILITY!!

(less rolls required for short dogs)

Today in O.C.

Wyatt and Stanzie reporting live from Oregon City!

Today the Daffodils are up...

Some of the trees are down...

(we had a bit of wind a few days ago)

 

Further south in Aurora, the benches are blue...

...and we smell a bakery, down the street too!!

Gotta Go,

Wyatt

Meatless Monday

Stanzie is worried......

We are not going vegetarian, (not that there is anything wrong with that). We still like meat. Very, Very Much. But, we do love our veg and we grow a lot of veg. So, we have decided to celebrate veggies, and go meatless one day a week!


Okay, I have to admit, Dad, Stanzie and I were skeptical about 'Meatless Monday'. But Mom made this super yummy 'Portobello Medallions au Poivre', for Dad (Courtesy of Rachel Ray Magazine). She served it with brown rice and asparagus. Dad licked his plate clean!

 Mom says: "It's not the prettiest thing we have ever made, but the flavors made up for that!"

Stanzie and I, had something called 'Doggy Vittles' from the cookbook, 'Real Food for Dogs'.

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combined these ingredients in a large bowl and blend thoroughly:


1 cup cooked rice
2/3 cup grated cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
1/2 cup finely chopped zucchini
1/3 cup applesauce
1 egg beaten
1 tablespoon brewer's yeast

Pour the mix in a casserole dish and bake for 12-15 minutes.
Cool and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.....WHAT LEFTOVERS!!

OMD!! Stanzie and I, licked our bowls clean too!! I guess one day a week without meat, is not going to kill us. Keep it coming Mom!

How many more days until next Monday?

Yum Yum Yum

Shopping at the farm store

Dad and I, went to the 'Coastal Farm and Ranch' store today.

We have one in my neighborhood, but today we drive out to the Hillsboro store, because they have just what we are looking for.

We need a special burner, for an outdoor fire pit.

I like to look at all the stuff.

My, what a fine selection of dog houses.

I do not need one, but they are fun to look at.

The service here is delightful. I'm thanked by name and given a cookie on my way out.

I give this place 4 paws up and they can count on my repeat business!!

Happy Shopping,

Wyatt
