Fake-out Take-out: I love to try and find ways to make restaurant food at home. Some of my favorite things to make are my Fake-out Chipotle (see below for recipe) and I also like to make CPK BBQ chicken pizza (I found a great recipe on Pioneer Woman that is a great fake-out for this). I also found some great Girl Scout Cookie fake-outs here Samoas and Thin Mints which I want to try.
Fake-out Chipotle:
-- Bird's Eye Steam Fresh Mexican Corn
-- Minute rice
-- Salsa
-- Cheese
-- Sour cream
-- A little hot sauce
-- I also make homemade pita chips by cutting up pitas into little triangles, spraying with either spray butter or a little olive oil, sprinkling some sea salt and then baking at 350 for about 7 mins or until slightly brown
Dog Items: I have made dog treats before, and although they were very easy, and the majority of the ingredients I had on hand, they did take a little time. You have to bake them and then let them sit in the oven a couple of hours to cool down and harden. My Grandmother gave me some fun dog bone shaped cookie cutters, so they turned out to be very cute though and my pup loved them. I need to make some more and give them away as gifts.
I also like to make my pup bandannas out of fun fabric (especially for the holidays) and my Mom likes to make her dogs’ toys. She takes strips of fleece fabric, and braids them and then ties the ends in knots. My pup doesn't really like them because she would prefer to tear the stuffing out of toys, but if your dog loves to play tug-of-war like my parent's dogs do, then your pup will love them!
If anyone has any great Fake-out food tips please share! I love getting new recipes. Also, check out Leslie’s blog for even more tips.
My dog loves ripping the stuffing out of toys as well! I'm glad someone else has the same crazy antics at their house! I have tried making my own toys, but I don't like how easily my dog can rip into them. I do like your idea of the fleece rope toy. I'm going to try it, thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE your dog treat recipe!
ReplyDeleteTotally going to try to make Baxley some dog toys. Although I agree that he would probably rather rip the stuffing out of Ellie's bears. LOL!!! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI made my dog a puppy-approved cake made from peanut butter, honey, flour, egg whites, and milk....but, I'd love your recipe for doggie treats.
ReplyDeleteI haven't learned to cut corners too many ways yet, I'm still learning....
