Pooch Food : Sugar Aster’s 3rd Birthday Cake

Sugar Asterope, my elder golden retriever, will be celebrating her 3rd birthday tomorrow. Months before, I was already searching for the perfect birthday cake recipe, but to no avail.  Those I came across (which were far and few, by the way) were either boring or called for some exotic ingredient I’d never heard of.
Help came in the […]

Pooch Food : Garlic Cheese Cookies

I have been away longer than promised, but I have a perfectly good reason - my hard disk crashed.  And so, I have to wait for a few days before gettting a new PC, and a couple more days before the hubby gets Adobe Photoshop installed on my new PC.
Brought my two golden retrievers out […]

Pooch Food : Beef Lagsane

It’s been a while since I baked something for my 2 resident furkids.  And I have a recipe I’ve been meaning to try for a while.  It’s beef lagsane which my goldens’ godma L created, and they were both fortunate enough to have tasted it before when they were staying with her for 2 weeks […]

Pooch Food : Potatoes Au Canine

Feeling a little under the weather, hence I absent myself from work today with a medical chit.  And decided to bake a special dinner for my 2 golden retrievers since they were so well-behaved during their baths yesterday night.
This recipe is one I’ve been wanting to try out for the longest time.  What stopped me […]

Pooch Food : Beefy Pooch Cake

I’ve mentioned in a previous post that I’ll be trying out a new recipe to bake a birthday cake suitable for dogs.  The initial plan was to bake a single layer instead of the double layer the recipe calls for, but after some contemplation, I decided to go ahead with the full works the night […]

- Banana Pupcakes and Cheesy Carrot Muffins -
It was a tiring project to undertake, but also a fulfilling one. Might […]

Pooch Food : Peanut Butter Biscuits

If the way Sugar and Paris behave around peanut butter is any indication, I am making a bold speculation that the peanut butter biscuits will be a great hit with the 27 furkids estimated to turn up for the BBQ.
The ingredients used and the way the dough is prepared before entering the oven is not […]

Pooch Food : Apple Biscuits

Decided to start with the apple biscuits tonight since the biscuits will keep till the Saturday BBQ, provided they are refrigerated in an air-tight container.
Needless to say, the 2 resident pooches naturally became my food-tasters. As a matter of fact, it was impossible to get them out of the kitchen while I was at it. […]

Gearing up for THE Event

Please forgive me for not embarking on any disastrous baking ‘escapades’ this week. You see, I’m busy getting myself prepared for a BIG event this weekend.

My 2 golden retrievers are going for an outing this weekend. A BBQ by the seaside with an estimated turnout of over 20 two-leggeds and 20 four-leggeds (mostly goldens)!
And I […]

Pooch Food : Cheddar Dog Biscuits

I find baking therapeutic.
There are times when I need some time alone to muse over certain issues or to calm my nerves, and I’ve increasingly turned to baking recently to achieve that.
And, tonight is such a night.
I’m not in the best of moods to tackle a new or complicated recipe, hence I decided to stick […]
