Palette's fall treats diary; November 7th,2010

 In the previous entry titled "Palette's summer treats diary;June 13th,2010 ", I wrote about how excited our dog, "Palette" becomes when she hears the command "Go get leash" for walk. And, get excited about her cool down treats. Palette really loves my cool down treats, and when we come back home,she literally right pass over me and position herself in the kitchen and wait in her imaginary line for the treats with bubbles around her mouth.

 With "Palette's summer treats dairy" series, I thought it would be interesting for you to tour around our kitchen to see what kinds of cool down treats she is getting, and we have introduced her cool down treats' recipes.
 
 Since we go for walk daily except on rainy days or snowy days, cool down treats are actually given after each walk or each bathing time all year round. So, we will have the series all year round and keep introducing new recipes of her cool down treats. Now, I will pass a pen to Palette to write her diary here.

 November 7th,2010

 Dear diary,


 As always, I woke up earlier than mom and waited for my mom get up and ready for walkie, and called me from bottom from the stairs. "Palette, go get a leash".

 Today,I feel different, very very excited for today's walkie. Why, you may ask?

 It is because her dad would join in our walkie. He flew 14 hours to see my mom and dad and, of course, me included. So,I gotta show what's out there on our walkie. I know I got tonz I would love to show him.



Are you two ready for walkie,mom?

 
I took her dad for walkie with my mom. I was so excited and forgot walkie manner We went regular route of walkie, but I made sure we would walk by my very best friends Mr. Miniature Schnauzer's house. We get along so well and, when he see me on walkie,he whine from window and I look for him and give him butt wagging greet with my ears folded back.

 Mom's dad saw woodpecker and tried to take a picture of him but,he was so shy that he flew away and mom's dad did not succeed to get a good picture of the woodpecker. However,he got to see the squirrels. That was a giant squirrel running across the street..

 It was very fun walkie. Mom's dad even ran with me to home on the straight street close to home. I ran looking up mom's dad now and then, and ran with my tongue hanging out. And we headed home..

 So...Now is the time for..? Frozen Yogurt Treats!?!  

 Today,I got Frozen
Asian pear butternut squash yogurt treats that has hint of beef flavor to it.



Frozen Asian pear butternut squash yogurt treats..

 Here is how you make them.

1. To the mixer, add cored,peeled and rough sliced Asian pears 9 oz, steamed butternut squash 9.7 oz, Redwood Hill Farm plain Goat milk yogurt 9.5 oz, and add 2tbs of beef short rib flavored water (from  the sauce pan that you used to steam the butternut squash) to the mixer and puree them.
 
** This time, when I steamed butternut squash,I poured water to sauce pan, drop short rib bone (raw) into the water, place steamer and add cut up butternut squash on top of the steamer and steamed for about 15-20 minutes..

** I did not have any plan as to what I would use for treats but, since I had leftover raw butternut squash from garlic butternut squash risotto, I decided to use it in her treats.

** I normally use cow milk yogurt but since I spotted the Goat milk yogurt at the grocery store,I thought I would like to try it and Palette went nuts. So I decided to use it for a change this time.

** For me, I feel that goat milk yogurt has a little bit of aftertaste but adding preserve to the plain goat milk makes nice flavored yogurt and my father loved it too.

2. Pour those onto ice cube tray and freeze

** This will be about 21 blocks of treats in ice cube tray with my mom's

** Frozen Asian pear butternut squash yogurt treats whole batch is roughly about 371 kcal (you can see more detail here at nutritiondata.com website). So, each ice cube given is about 18kcal

** Mom wanted rough kcal to be as close to real one, and she usedNutrition fact food label on the back of yogurt she used. She typed inthe information provided in the nutrition label on the yogurt..

 "Can I see what you made this time?" I asked mom when she was taking picture of the treats for this series. Mom said "Of course,Palette. Just a look."



Ohh.... Just a look, but the frozen treats saying "Eat me,eat me"..

 Then.. the frozen treats' talk was so tempting that I became naughty Palette..



"Hey mom, what is that?" -Palette

"Hmm?" -Mom

"Thank you,mom." S.l.u.r.p!!-Palette




I know I am a lady,but cannot hide how tasty it was.

Sorry for my drool string.. It was just really good!




All mine! Yes,I ate 3 frozen treats today..

 
The treats were so yummy. This is the best part when I go for walkie I always wait nicely in front of the freezer door.I know where they sleep in But sometimes, I get talkative and lead my mom to the kitchen herding dog "Corgi" style

 When my mom was trying to bagging the frozen treats for later, I told her "Just a look,please." So,my mom let me see the ice cube tray. She thinks I cannot pick the treats up that are still in the cube tray. Do you think so?



Hello, frozen treats! I can see you still left in the tray.. slurp!



Oops! I got caught... You saw nothing,mom..

 So, afterall, I did some lick and got caught by mom. It was just that tasty.
