And not forgetting about the most important member of the family (in some households). My crazy boofhead enjoys his home cooked casseroles, steaks & mousse, as well as home-made biscuits!

POOCH FOOD

Chicken Mousse

I make this for my friends cats as well!

☐ 2 skinless Chicken Breasts

☐ 2 tbsp Dog Yoghurt

Poach Chicken – Place chicken breasts in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and turn the flame off but leave it sit for at least 20 minutes.
Chop the chicken into about 3 or 4 chunks and place in a food processor with dog yoghurt and blitz until smooth. Spray 6-8 spheres (1/2 domes) silicon moulds, or moulds of your choice, with cooking oil and fill with chicken mix. Leave in the fridge to set (overnight is good).
Serve with Vegetable Rice side & kibble of your dog’s choice.

Vegetable Rice Side for Pooch

☐ Slice and place in your slow cooker:

☐ 2 sliced or grated Zucchini

☐ 2 diced or pureed Sweet Potato or Pumpkin

☐ 2 sliced or grated Carrots

☐ 1 cup Brown Rice

☐ 1 can rinsed Red Kidney Beans

☐ 1 cup Green Beans (fresh or frozen)

☐ 2 diced Apples

☐ 1¹/₂ cans Water (use the can from the kidney beans is good)

Set on low heat for 6-8 hours, stir once or twice and add more water if necessary if you are home.

You can also add supplement powders if your vet has recommended any, such as calcium powder, glucosamine powder for arthritis, etc.

Doggy Bikkies

☐ 1½ cups Wholemeal Plain Flour

☐ 1 cup Plain Flour

☐ ½ cup Powdered Milk

☐ ½ cup Oatmeal/Porridge Oats

☐ ½ cup Peanut Butter

☐ 2 tbsp Wheat Germ

☐ 1 Egg, beaten

☐ 1 cup Water

☐ 1 Egg beaten with 1 tbsp water for the egg wash

Preheat oven to 180^oC. Line a sheet-pan or cookie tray with grease-proof paper.

In a bowl, combine the two flours, powdered milk, oats, peanut butter and wheat germ. Mix in the egg and about 1 cup water or enough to form a sticky biscuit dough.

Empty the dough onto a floured board, knead and roll out to about 1cm thick. Dip your chosen cookie cutter (a bone shape is good!) into flour and cut out the dough. Bring the dough together to re-knead and re-roll until you have used all the dough.

Place the cut cookies onto the sheet-pan/cookie tray, brush with egg-wash and place in the oven for 1 hour until firm. Allow to cool.

Vietnamese Salad

I eat this almost every week of the year, sometimes all week! You can prepare all the veges and store them in small containers in the fridge, then put it together the morning you’re going to have it, all the hard work is done. Or you can make them on Sunday for the coming week, makes 4 serves – but take the dressing in a separate container to add just before you are going to eat it so it doesn’t go soggy. You can halve the recipe if you want to have something different a couple of days of the week. We usually make up two salads, 4 serves of this one and 4 serves of a different one (two each), for the week and have one ‘tuckshop’ day on Friday, to add a bit of variety to the week’s lunches!

Dinner Party

Classic French Dinner Party

Whether it’s a romantic dinner for two, or a dinner party for a group of friends and family. when setting the table for a fancy dinner party keep the table decoration to a minimum. Include an item that makes a good conversation piece (eg. an ornament you bought in France at a market, or a framed picture from your holiday in Paris). Add a beautiful bouquet of flowers, light the candles prior to the guests arriving so that they burn down to create a cozier atmosphere – remember less is more!
