Summertime!

After a reallllly long, realllllllllly difficult year at school for both of us -- it is officially SUMMER!  We plan on relaxing, recuperating, and doing a few things around the house.  It won't be much, but it's what we need.  Todd and I will both be working with new people next year, so we need the downtime to prepare us for August.

For our official first day, I made the dogs "pops."  They LOVE their pops, and they are a healthy way to treat the dogs and cool them off during the hot Texas summers.

Pops are very easy to make.  Here's my so-called recipe:


DOG POPS

1 large tub of non-fat, plain yogurt
1/2 c. or so peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
leftover meats and veggies

Pull out the blender and add non-fat plain yogurt, some peanut butter, and whatever leftovers you have in the fridge.  (This time it was chicken, some corn, and a piece of zucchini.  Literally any meat and/or veggie we have goes into the blender.)  Puree and pour into ice trays to freeze.

Remove pops from ice trays after frozen and place in a sealable baggie.  Label as "DOG POPS" unless your dogs don't mind sharing.  :)  Enjoy!

Pippin and Steve waited for me to hand out seconds, then got embarrassed after I tried to take pictures of them begging!
