Feast fit for a dog


Before you read on, the image up top has a bottle of wine in it. The wine the dogs do not get but if you like white wine (I am not a big fan) you will love this La Crema Chardonnay, it is amazing.

Lastnight I made a scrumpshsis dinner for us; and while I was cooking our dinner I was planning the dogs dinner on the side. I am a huge believer of waste not want not so nothing goes to waste in this house. The kids all know not to throw out any leftovers if it is k9 edible. The dogs could not care in the least if they eat something that the humans could not consume because their eyes are bigger than their stomach.

So lastnight we had a chicken dish with mushrooms, capers, parmigana regiano, garlic and asparagus. Beside that concoction was a serving of the wonderfully healthy sweet potatoe. Just check out these stats The dogs also had the tender bottom end of the asparagus which I poached in spring water till tender. I then turned the stove off and allowed the water which was now filled with nutrients to soak into the asparagus.

The dogs meal consisted of sweet potatoe, asparagus, chicken, organic brown basmatti rice, capers (which are a funny little thing) and add a little umph to a meal. Although high in sodium each dog only gets a couple per bowl contents. They also had dired cranberries and of course Luke had a dollup of butter to top it all off.

The girls enjoyed their frozen yogurt mid afternoon which Luke passed on.
