Puppy Parfait



After coming home to a very happy, but stinky-breathed dog, I did my research to find a natural way to get Jack's hygiene back to normal after his kennel stay. It worked great and Jack, of course, loved it:


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 container plain yogurt (8 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup granola (without raisins)
  • 1/2 cup berries, such as raspberries and strawberries, coarsely chopped
  • 1 banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • A pinch of cinnamon

PREPARATION

Place half the yogurt in a dog food bowl and sprinkle half the granola on top. Top with half the berries, banana and mint. Repeat. Top with the cinnamon.

Saturday Sweets

My sister and I had a wonderful but indulgent day today- we decided to spend our Saturday morning at the farmers market, followed with some shopping, followed with an stop at Calories, our favourite Saskatoon dessert stop. We picked up praline macaroons, lattes, mini chai cupcakes and sweet vegetable chowder and some fresh roma tomatoes to try a zucchini quinoa lasagna recipe I have been dying to try at the market, splurged on some makeup at Mac, bought jeans half price at the Gap and and another pillow for the living room and basket at Home Sense. We ended it off sharing toffee and a lemon Saskatoon berry cheesecakes... I love Saturdays...

I have been searching Pinterest the whole morning... now after seeing a couple of my friend's beautifully decorated homes I can wait to start on ours. Since I moved into the new house in April, we have been slowly collecting furniture but much as been done in the accessorizing department. No pictures have been hung, or basically anything else for that matter. I have been stuck on colors.... the walls are a gray-beige, hardwood and cupboards a dark expresso, a feature wall in dark gray. I found this light blue, orange and brown living room and thought orange and light blue would be the way to go. (No zebra print rug for me) I can't wait to get home from our Maui honeymoon and start on the house.
