Not even kidding! I found these amazing dog bone trays for $6.95 and have made 3 recipes for Tomlin. They are soooo easy and she loves them. The tray comes with a silicone insert and a spout so you can easily pour in the ingredients, freeze it, and then pop the bones right out. Seriously, does it get easier than that? I wonder what Phil would think if I started making his meals this way? hmmmmmm ;-)
Ok back to reality. The first set of bones I made for Tomlin were chicken flavored. I mixed a cup of water with a cup of fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth. I poured the mixture into the little spout and froze it over night.
The second recipe I made was with creamy (salt-free) peanut butter, greek yogurt, and about a teaspoon of honey. I mixed all three together and spread a dollop into the silicon tray. These are Tomlin’s favorite; she can finish an entire bone in less than 5 seconds (we’ve timed her).
The third type of bone that I made for Tomlin required a trip to the store. So far with the other recipes I already had the ingredients on hand. For this recipe I needed baby food and this was a first time shopping experience for me. I was blown away with the variety of flavors but glad that there were so many options so that I could make sure to get something soft for Tomlin’s stomach (she’s a little sensitive in that department). Not knowing what brands are the best, maybe y’all can give me some suggestions on that one for the future, I purchased several flavors of Beech Nut. Thank you Jesus that the guy at the register didn’t ask me anything about my “baby”; otherwise I would have had to admit I’m one of those pet-crazy ladies who makes dog bones for her 4-legged child. I mean I will admit it openly, but I don’t want my weekly cashier judging me for it lol. Anyways, this time I mixed the baby food with the greek yogurt and peanut butter. This was another cheap and easy hit!

When she hears the freezer open she’s at my side in an instant!
You’ve got to order one for your pup; I promise they will love the taste, and you will love the ease of making them.
On a different note, remember when I shared some collars with you? Well I finally decided on one and it arrived a couple weeks ago. Look how precious Tomlin looks in her new jewelry :-) If you want to spoil you pup, check out Bow Wow Couture on Etsy!
Hope you’re having a great day!!!
