We here on the ‘ranch’ love noshing on vittles, so imagine my surprise with the mailman brought us a present yesterday.

Woo-hoo! We were winners in the drawing over at  Dakota’s Den recently and I couldn’t be more excited to try them out. Great recipes, pawsome photos and cool meal ideas along with adorably clever text. I can’t decide which one to try first, Seafood for Schnauzers or Kung Pao for Pekingese, I may have to have Sam put his paw of approval on which one to try first, but I think I’m going to try to steer him toward the Kung Pao because I love spicy Chinese. Sam is raring to go, can you tell? The recipes look easy enough to prepare with ‘normal’ kind of ingredients. As the Kung Pao book says, “simple dishes: one burner, one wok.”

And because I love good seafood, I’m definitely making more than a few of the dishes from Seafood for Schnauzers. Can’t wait to “learn to do fish up right” and feast on some terrific seafood. We’re gonna wash our paws and get started this weekend.

Thanks again to Dakota’s Den for the really terrific give-away. Sam and I have never won anything before so this is super exciting. Sam is hoping I’ll do the cooking though, getting that apron on him was no easy task. You’ve have thought I was giving him a bath by his expression.

Live, love, bark! <3
